How to use aux input on ATI TV Wonder 600 USB?
Hi all,
I have an ATI TV Wonder 600 USB and have successfully used it for its DVB features, thanks to the work of many of you on this list. However, this device also has an auxiliary s-video/composite input[1] which I'd like to use in VLC, and I can't figure out how. Is there any capability in the driver to switch to that?
I'm using kernel 2.6.32 on Debian, with firmware xc3028L-v36.fw. The device's USB id is 0438:b002.
I'm happy to provide any other logs or info requested and appreciate any help I can get.
Thanks!
Steve

Yes, it's fully supported. But bear in mind it's an analog input, so you need to use a V4L application as opposed to something designed for DVB. Once you use an analog app (such as tvtime), just toggle over to input 1 for composite or input 2 for S-Video (input zero is the analog tuner input).

That was just the help I needed. Thanks! Would it be appropriate for me to add that input number information to the wiki page[1]?

I'm not sure how much value it would provide. Pretty much all the applications show an input description next to the number (for example, with tvtime you actually see "Tuner", "Composite", and "S-Video" as the options).
The driver shows you the mapping if you run v4l2-ctl --list-inputs.
But feel free to update the Wiki if you think it helps.
Cheers,
Devin
