I have this bideograbber that worked perfectly and out of the box on a Pi 1.
But now I connected it to a Pi 2 with osmc and it doesn’t create the /dev/video0 device it did on the Pi 1.
Here is the dmesg output (audio seems to work but not video)

Anyone has the same problem or knows a solution?
This is with the latest Juli update.
Are you having trouble with hyperion or just the grabber? There was an issue with a recent update that caused SPI to not get enabled. If you manually update via My OSMC -> Updater -> Manual Controls -> Check for Updates now it should resolve that issue. I’ve been using a grabber card on OSMC / Pi 2 for months without issue.
Hyperion works perfectly fine for normal movie watching, but I want to add a framegrabbber (renkforce dvd maker II) to make it work with hyperion-v4l and an external video source.
All that worked perfectly on a Pi1 with osmc, but not on the pi 2. So I suspect that raspbian handles the hardware differently than debian jessie.

Above output looks fine for me, yet there is no /dev/video0, no /dev/video1, …
The kworld dvd maker 2 shouldn’t need firmware.
The driver seems to be working, but video0 node in /dev is not created.
v4l-info says there is no device video0, so it expects it to be there, but it isn’t.
When I was googling for the problem many weeks ago I remember that some guy had a similar problem (I believe with his WebCam) also on Pi 1 with RaspBMC and basically he was telling that it was introduced by some kernel update and switching back to an older kernel would help.
I built a kernel with em28xx v4l2 support.
It will also be supported in next month’s update.
If you don’t want to wait, pm me and I can upload it somewhere.
If you have some webspace for upload feel free to upload, mcobit. But if not, no problem. I can wait for the next update. Or perhaps I can figure out how to compile the changes you committed myself…
