How to install a Gadmei Utv330+ Usb Video Capture/Tv Tuner

**michaelAust** · July 25th, 2008

This device is quite inexpensive (AUD$52 delivered, on ebay), and can be used to capture composite video and sound, eg. from vhs videotapes. It also has an analogue Tv tuner which I have not tried yet. I have been able to watch videotapes using xawtv, tvtime, zapping, etc. and record them using mencoder, both with quite decent quality. There is plenty of info on the web about the Gadmei utv330 and 310 but not about the 330+.I bought it after I found a page detailing a succesful installation
http://hadiariawan.web.id/2008/01/12...er-gadmei-330/
This page is in indonesian but it was not too hard to work out with the help of a web translation tool
http://www.toggletext.com/
The instructions from there did not work for me but adding a few bits and pieces from other places did the trick. It apparently contains an em2861 chip which is supported by the em28xx driver. I am using Kubuntu 8.04 Hardy.

Here is the result of lsusb showing the manufacturer/product id.

Code:

michael@AsusKubuntu:~$ lsusb
Bus 004 Device 005: ID eb1a:50a6 eMPIA Technology, Inc.

My process to install this device was as follows.

I used Adept (Can use Synaptic or sudo apt-get install PackageName on the command line.)
install the package mercurial
install the package linux-headers-$(uname -r) (May need the terminal for this one)
I have linux-source but I don't think I needed it.
install the package build-essential
install the package gcc
I think these packages are all you need.

Open a terminal so you can download the Video4Linux source to build the em28xx module and type

Code:

hg clone http://mcentral.de/hg/~mrec/v4l-dvb-kernel/

I ended up with a folder called /home/michael/v4l-dvb-kernel (117 MB) containing all the source code.

In the indonesian page above he says do

Code:

hg clone http://mcentral.de/hg/~mrec/v4l-dvb-experimental

But when I did this, if my dvb card was connected and I did "modprobe em28xx" I got errors. This doesn't happen with non experimental.

Within the v4l-dvb-kernel folder edit the file "linux/drivers/media/video/em28xx/em28xx.h" using kate or gedit etc.
Below the line

Code:

#define EM2882_BOARD_KWORLD_VS_DVBT		  61

add a new line

Code:

#define EM2861_BOARD_GADMEI_UTV330		  62

Now edit the file "linux/drivers/media/video/em28xx/em28xx-cards.c"

Search for "EM2860_BOARD_GADMEI_UTV330"

Copy the block starting from

Code:

	[EM2860_BOARD_GADMEI_UTV330] = {

up to the line before

Code:

	[EM2820_BOARD_GADMEI_UTV310] = {

and paste it where the block started so there are now two blocks the same.
Edit the second block as follows,
On the first line of the block replace

Code:

EM2860_BOARD_GADMEI_UTV330

with

Code:

EM2861_BOARD_GADMEI_UTV330

On the second line of the block add a plus sign to the end of the .name string to make

Code:

		.name         = "Gadmei UTV330+",

Now search for "0xa316", and after the line

Code:

	{ USB_DEVICE(0xeb1a, 0xa316), .driver_info = EM2883_BOARD_KWORLD_HYBRID_A316 },

add a new line

Code:

	{ USB_DEVICE(0xeb1a, 0x50a6), .driver_info = EM2861_BOARD_GADMEI_UTV330 },

This will cause the em28xx driver to be loaded when you plug it in (if it has a different lsusb id then put it in the above line). In the indonesian page above he says create the file /etc/modprobe.conf with "options em28xx card=62" in it but this was not necessary for me.

Now search for "EM2860_BOARD_GADMEI_UTV330" again, and below the line

Code:

		case EM2860_BOARD_GADMEI_UTV330:

add a new line

Code:

		case EM2861_BOARD_GADMEI_UTV330:

This is the code to turn on IR for the remote, which I have not tested.
Now search for "EM2860_BOARD_GADMEI_UTV330" again, and below the line

Code:

		case EM2860_BOARD_GADMEI_UTV330:

add a new line

Code:

		case EM2861_BOARD_GADMEI_UTV330:

This is the code to turn off IR for the remote, which I have not tested.

The next step is to compile and install. Open a terminal, cd to the folder v4l-dvb-kernel and type the commands as follows

Code:

cd v4l-dvb-kernel
make
sudo make install

There will be lots of output and it takes a while, I had some warnings but no errors.

You can now try

Code:

sudo modprobe em28xx

And hopefully get no errors

The next step is to restart and plug the Gadmei into a usb port, then try

Code:

dmesg

which should give something like

Code:

[  211.616025] usb 4-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5

[  212.240075] em28xx: proved to be stable

I'm not sure why it says "you're using the experimental/unstable tree" when I used
http://mcentral.de/hg/~mrec/v4l-dvb-kernel/ and not http://mcentral.de/hg/~mrec/v4l-dvb-experimental/
But it works. It creates /dev/video0 for video input (or video1 etc. if video0 is used I think).

I can connect my vcr to the composite and audio inputs of the Gadmei and watch videos using TVtime, xawtv, and motv but I need to plug the cable from the line out on the Gadmei to the microphone input (line in did not work) of my soundcard as these programs cannot connect to the digital sound inputs (Apparently a later version of TVtime can). I had to turn on the microphone input and adjust the sound levels using kmix to get sound and no distortion. I was not able to record to the hard disc using any of these programs so I used mencoder as follows

Code:

mencoder -tv driver=v4l2:width=720:height=576:input=1:norm=PAL-DK:fps=25:adevice=/dev/audio1 tv:// -o OutputFile.avi -ovc lavc -oac mp3lame

This command gets the audio from dev/audio1 (can use /dev/dsp1 too) and you don't need the soundcard cable. Mencoder has a vast array of sometimes confusing options but once you find the command line that works you can just use the up arrow in the terminal and edit your last command.

Useful hints:
You can find out the settings of the device using v4lctl (part of xawtv) as follows:

Code:

michael@AsusKubuntu:~$ v4lctl -c /dev/video0 list
attribute  | type   | current | default | comment
-----------+--------+---------+---------+-------------------------------------
norm       | choice | NTSC    | NTSC    | NTSC PAL-DK
input      | choice | Televis | Televis | Television Composite1 S-Video
audio mode | choice | mono    | mono    | mono stereo lang1 lang2
bright     | int    |       0 |       0 | range is -128 => 127
contrast   | int    |      16 |      16 | range is 0 => 31
color      | int    |      16 |      16 | range is 0 => 31
volume     | int    |      31 |      31 | range is 0 => 31
mute       | bool   | on      | on      |
Red chroma | int    |       0 |       0 | range is -128 => 127
Blue chrom | int    |       0 |       0 | range is -128 => 127
Gamma      | int    |      32 |      32 | range is 0 => 63

Also v4l2ucp is a useful graphical utility for setting volume, colour, etc. Tvtime, mencoder, and all the others mentioned seem to change some of these values when they start but you can still adjust just after you start a capture for example. The deb linked to from the v4l2ucp page did not install properly but I extracted the executable using ark and ran it in the home directory.

Many em28xx related posts that I found suggest installing a >2.6.24 patch, but you don't need to, it is in the v4l-dvb-kernel code already.

Good Luck.

Thank you very much for the great guide.

I needed that. It gave me the following error without that:

...

[   32.088750] em28xx #0:     card=62 -> Gadmei UTV330+

Could it be because of the difference I have in the numbers lsusb gives me? It says:

Code:

**michaelAust** · August 13th, 2008

No worries,

did you put

Code:

	{ USB_DEVICE(0xeb1a, 0x2861), .driver_info = EM2861_BOARD_GADMEI_UTV330 },

instead of

Code:

	{ USB_DEVICE(0xeb1a, 0x50a6), .driver_info = EM2861_BOARD_GADMEI_UTV330 },

Mine has stopped being recognised, maybe a kernel upgrade or something ? I tried a new make and sudo make install but with no luck.

**michaelAust** · August 16th, 2008

As I said above, it stopped being recognised, which meant that /dev/video0 was not created, therefore capture did not work.

I thought maybe the em28xx driver had been overwritten during a software upgrade so I did

Code:

apt-file search em28xx

and the relevant packages for my current kernel, containing em28xx.ko seemed to be linux-image-2.6.24-19-386, which was not installed, or linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic, which was installed.

The path where this file was installed was
/lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/kernel/drivers/media/video/em28xx/em28xx.ko

so I had a look there..

Code:

michael@AsusKubuntu:/lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/kernel/drivers/media/video/em28xx$ ls -l
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 61992 2008-07-12 15:32 em28xx.ko

and in the drectory /home/michael/v4l-dvb-kernel/v4l/ I found em28xx.ko, as follows

Code:

michael@AsusKubuntu:~/v4l-dvb-kernel/v4l$ ls -l em28xx.ko
-rw-r--r-- 1 michael michael 123852 2008-08-13 15:16 em28xx.ko

So the installed version was older and smaller than the version there (created by make above).

I tried running make again, and saw that it was entering the directory /lib/modules/2.6.24-18-generic/ instead of /lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/. When I ran sudo make install it put em28xx.ko in the 2.6.24-18-generic directory. So to use it I would have had to boot with the old kernel. I searched in /home/michael/v4l-dvb-kernel/v4l/ for files containing the string 2.6.24-18 and found the file /v4l/.version containing the string KERNELRELEASE:=2.6.24-18-generic. I had kept a copy of the unmodified v4l-dvb-kernel/ directory so I looked in there, and there was no /v4l/.version file.

So the first time I ran make it must have written the kernel version at that time in the /v4l/.version file, and when the kernel got upgraded make did not change it but kept using the old version number.

So the way to fix it was to make a new copy of the unmodified v4l-dvb-kernel/ directory and copy my modified em28xx-cards.c and em28xx.h into the v4l-dvb-kernel/linux/drivers/media/video/em28xx directory, overwriting the fles there. Then I ran make and sudo make install.

Voila ! It works again !

**lihsus** · September 22nd, 2008

thats a gr8 way making UTv330+ work in linux,
worked fine in mine too.. except one problem

i am having problem with audio,.. there is a separate line-out in my tv-card which shud me kept in mic-input of my laptop, but the tv card is not giving out any sound..

i have checked TV card in vista and it works fine, and mic in linux is also working fine

so basically the problem is .. no sound while watching TV in linux (kubuntu hardy)

i wud be thankful if u cud help

i already tried playing TV thru xawtv, tvtime and VLC..

**lihsus** · September 26th, 2008

nevermind, i had been playing around with v4l2 source code little more... and found the solution for my audio problem.

here is what i did to make audio work:

in file em28xx-core.c
find "case EM2860_BOARD_GADMEI_UTV330:"
and add "case EM2861_BOARD_GADMEI_UTV330:" after above line.

again in file em28xx-video.c
find "case EM2860_BOARD_GADMEI_UTV330:"
and add "case EM2861_BOARD_GADMEI_UTV330:" after the line.

find "case EM2860_BOARD_GENERIC:"
and after the case block, paste this code.

Code:

case EM2861_BOARD_GENERIC:// block we are going to add

"sudo modprobe em28xx"
and restart
then u are ready to go

Hey all,
I've bought this Tuner about a week ago. But 'till now, I can't installing the driver on my Ubuntu Intrepid, with kernel 2.6.27-9.
I've followed the instruction above, but the error still comes.. T,T

When I run command :
hg clone http://mcentral.de/hg/~mrec/v4l-dvb-kernel/
it's done with no error, but the directory were only 4.3 MB (not 117MB)

I've download the v4l-dvb-experimental.tar.bz2 from here, then edit the config file (em28xx.c, etc).
When I run the 'make' command, here the result :

make -C /home/budi/app_temp/gadmei/v4l-dvb-experimental /v4l
make: *** /home/budi/app_temp/gadmei/v4l-dvb-experimental: No such file or directory. Stop.
make: *** [all] Error 2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then, if I Patch it with this Patch file and then re-run the 'make' command, it gives this :

Hey all,
I've bought this Tuner about a week ago. But 'till now, I can't installing the driver on my Ubuntu Intrepid, with kernel 2.6.27-9.
I've followed the instruction above, but the error still comes.. T,T

I haven't tried it in Intrepid, only Hardy.

When I run command :
hg clone http://mcentral.de/hg/~mrec/v4l-dvb-kernel/
it's done with no error, but the directory were only 4.3 MB (not 117MB)

My mistake I think, 117MB was probably the size after the make, it got much larger.

When I run the 'make' command, here the result :

make -C /home/budi/app_temp/gadmei/v4l-dvb-experimental /v4l
make: *** /home/budi/app_temp/gadmei/v4l-dvb-experimental: No such file or directory. Stop.
make: *** [all] Error 2

There is a space between "...experimental" and "/v4l". Maybe that is a problem, but I presume the directory /home/budi/app_temp/gadmei/v4l-dvb-experimental does exist if the directory v4l is in it so the error message is hard to understand.

As I said, experimental caused problems but I think make ran ok. You ran make differently but I don't know enough about it to know if that matters. I suppose the mcentral.de code may have changed, I haven't done it for a while.

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful,
Hope you can sort it out.

I did it on Ubuntu Karmic.
Here some tutorial I've found:

Making it work again after a kernel upgrade broke it
