vrecord cannot see DV device

Open tomackroyd opened this issue 2 years ago • 12 comments

Have in the past been able to capture from DV using vrecord GUI. vrecord now cannot see DV device. Transport controls work however. Can successfully capture using QuickTime Player and avfctl using avfctl -device 0 -cmd capture test.dv

Hey @tomackroyd, I just wrote up https://github.com/amiaopensource/vrecord/pull/770 which swaps out avfctl (which was used to prototype some dvrescue features) to use the dvrescue cli directly.

@dericed Out of interest, if vrecord or dvrescue wanted to id any DV deck, would it refer to an authority list that said something like (in my instance) "0x800460101ab28fb = Sony DSR-40P"?

tomackroyd avatar Nov 05 '23 20:11 tomackroyd

IIUC 0x800460101ab28fb refers to your Sony DSR-40P. Maybe there's a pattern in there, but I don't know it yet. So if you had two Sony DSR-40P, these id's could help distinguish them.

Hi All,

Ran into this issue myself. Would love to try this #770 but I don't know how to patch Vrecord. Is there anyone who could help me out?

Thanks.

Hi @lavidtech-1, one way to quickly test the branch in #770 would be to download it's ZIP from github at https://github.com/amiaopensource/vrecord/tree/updates-on-handling-recorders via the 'Code' tab and then to run that version of vrecord directly. (If you cd into the directory you unzip it to, you should be able to run that particular version by using ./vrecord instead of the usual vrecord command.) In this form, it should still be able to access the config files and dependencies that were installed via homebrew.

Hi @privatezero I tried your above suggestion. I managed to get vrecord to capture a clip, but every attempt thereafter has failed, due to ffplay-dl launching but not displaying a playback window, and so I can't properly end captures. I tried running from the command line and got failures like this: The configuration file uses an invalid value of As is for SIGNAL_INT_CHOICE. Valid values are: auto bff tff prog. Please restart vrecord in edit mode (vrecord -e) or update the configuration file at /Users/twelveplusone/.vrecord.conf. Error: An option for DVRESCUE_INPUT_CHOICE is required.

tomackroyd avatar Dec 22 '23 02:12 tomackroyd

I buried the lede, which is that this branch sees my deck and has successfully captured a file!

tomackroyd avatar Dec 22 '23 02:12 tomackroyd

I'm trying to test this again and with @privatezero's update to #770 and a variety of devices aren't showing up at all (but are showing up in QuickTime) now I'm getting this error for both vrecord and dvrescue commands:

Just an update on trying to get vrecord to capture, have tried latest main, and the "updates on handling recorders" branch, still no joy

@tomackroyd would you mind trying this:

cd /Users/twelveplusone/Downloads/vrecord-main 
./vrecord -e

And then see what it says under the config tab?
