Different monitors show the same thing for same device input

Post by vlad2005 »

Hi!
After screeching my head trying to make my card to work, I think I'm on the right track.
So far things are like this.
1. if I set only one monitor, I can see any channel on the two devices available (/dev/video0 and /dev/video1).
2. if I setup two monitors on different device things are ok.
3. if I setup two monitors on the same device they show the same thing. (!!!!!!)
4. if I delete one of the monitors things return to normal.
What can do here?
I have an card with two BT878A chips, tunerless with 16 channels.

Thanks for any help!

Check you settings on Config:

V4L_MULTI_BUFFER (enabled?)
CAPTURES_PER_FRAME : set to 2

Hope it helps,
