I only can repeat what I've written on the top of this post, stk1160 devices are currently not working with the RPI because of hardware, USB driver, (whatever) limitations of the RPI. <br /><br />The only thing you can try is, reduce the fps rate in the mplayer command to a very low rate ( between 1 and 10 fps) and try again.<br /><br />There are a bunch of USB webcams which are working with the RPI. Some people reported success with em28xx based devices and a modified driver. <br />You can find out more here: <br />http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=48599<br /><br />There exists an UVC based capture device (FEBON 100 UVC grabber card) from http://www.sunriase.com for 77$ which is mentioned that it works with the RPI:<br />http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=7748<br /><br />Regards<br /><br />Andrew<br /><br />Andrew Schalkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18278726276253599249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1445708269644440152.post-19401114559918394502014-02-02T13:45:09.790+01:002014-02-02T13:45:09.790+01:00Hello,

What I'm saying is that all my GPSCA cameras are seriously hobbled and my one UVC camera is recently rocking."<br /><br />My conclusion: almost all cameras which are supported by the uvcvideo driver(look here for a list of supported devices: http://www.ideasonboard.org/uvc/) are working on the pi, many other usb cameras (including the stk1160) are causing problems in most cases until the usb problems will be solved.<br /><br />Andrew<br /><br />Andrew Schalkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18278726276253599249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1445708269644440152.post-31609902953789004452013-06-12T11:08:48.701+02:002013-06-12T11:08:48.701+02:00It would be great if anyone could post a clear sol...It would be great if anyone could post a clear solution for the PI that actually/really works for the easycap stk1160 rather than rushing posts that other users confirm dont really work.
