Settings reset on start

Post by Tyremis »

I am using a tv tuner card with a camera hooked up to the composite ports. I am trying to set up the system so that when the computer reboots for any reason Yawcam restarts the video feed again. Everything works fine except when Yawcam restarts all the video settings for the tuner card reset. Is there a way to force Yawcam to use the same settings every time it starts?

There is no software to control the tvtuner outside of Yawcam its a fairly old tuner card. (Asus TV7133) If someone has a solution to this, that would be great.

Camera Resolution
Camera Input from the Crossbar control

Those settings are the ones that reset.

Ah yes, I used to have that problem with Camera Input too. That doesn't seem
to be yawcam's fault, but TV-tuner's. Every time I restart the computer, the
Input has been switched to S-Video. So I bought an RCA to S-Video adapter &
solved the problem! :P

---Edit---
I just noticed that you are saying that this happens not when you restart the
computer but when you restart yawcam? Is that right?

No its only when I restart the computer. If I leave the computer on its completely fine. I was just trying to set up a fail safe so if the power goes out when the system is auto restarted the camera launches again.

Then we must have the same "problem". Maybe an RCA to S-Video adapter
will solve yours too. As to the resolution part I don't know, since that wasn't
an issue to me.
