Making it work

The kernel must be patched. The device id must be added to em28xx-cards.c.

Once patched, the device will be detected and video software will be able to use it. Video can be captured from progressive signals (DVD players, Play Station 2 and other recent devices), but interlaced signals (such as the Nintendo 64's) will cause the video stream to freeze due to a bug in the driver.

Support for this device what patched into version 4.12-rc1 of the kernel.

A way to still see the video when capturing from interlaced sources is to modify the driver by doing a hack that will only display the first field of the video signal which as the side effect of leaving a huge green bar at the bottom of the screen. To do this, open the file em28xx-video.c and seek for em28xx_v4l2_init. Edit the line that checks if the device is webcam, remove the if condition so that the driver will always be in progressive mode:

(WARNING: This is a hack and may break other devices that use the same driver)

The sound doesn't work with most program. It works with qv4l2, but the sound will not play correctly. If executed from the terminal, this program will repetitively print the following error messages in the terminal while capturing:

The sound will cut every seconds, before it recovers and cut again continuously, while printing these error messages again and again. Changing the audio buffer size can attenuate this bug without eliminating it.
