Raspbmc Kernel With Fuschicai Easycap Support Is Here!
Rather than a tutorial this is to highlight great achievement of Husam Hebaishi. He provided us with kernel that supports Fuschicai Easycap. What does it mean? You can now enjoy both newest raspbmc and video grabber simultaneously. Read after a break for links.
Fuschicai Easycap is a powerful device that paired with hyperion let’s you drive a Lightberry (or any compatible LED system :) ) from just about any source. How to get it? Simple:
1. Easy way – get a image with already installed kernel from here:
http://img.lightberry.eu/download/raspbmc_with_fushicai_lightberry_v3.zip.torrent
2. Less easy way – install it by yourself with Husam’s guide:
http://sourceforge.net/p/raspbmcusbtv/wiki/Installation/
This is a long shot but worth a try – let’s join Husam and make his module part of raspbmc. Sam Nazarko, if you are reading this please include this module into the next release of Raspbmc. Thank you for your work btw. :)
Remember, you must include this part of hyperion config to get v4l working along with xbmc correctly:
