Viewcast doesn't officially support Linux. They only offer Windows drivers. Rather than banging your head against the wall, your options are to install the card on a Windows box or choose another vendor for your steaming media/capture card.

C'est la vie.

Hi,

Driver for linux is available on viewcast website.
I have installed my "Osprey 440" card on my centos box.
I just the software to capture video from this card.

That is news to me. The last time I looked, Viewcast only supported windows for this card. Surely Viewcast must have some recommended Linux-friendly software to work with their card if they're supporting Linux drivers now. (don't hold your breath) Probably best to go directly to the source and ask Viewcast.

I have already post request to the viewcast support.
But no reply from them.
Any help is apretiated.

I can't offer any direct help due to lack of experience in this area - my last foray into TV/Video-capture was some years ago; however, you might better find help on the lists of repos that support multimedia, such as [url=http://lists.atrpms.net/mailman/listinfo/atrpms-users]ATrpms[/url] or [url=http://lists.rpmforge.net/mailman/listinfo/users]RPMforge[/url].

Hey guys,

I m back with another query.
I wanted to do live streaming using my "set top box".
I have connected my "set top bow" to my system using "osprey capture card"
I have googled a lot & found "ffserver & ffmpeg" are able to fulfill my requirement.
I due to lack of experties, i m finding myself difficult to deal with "ffserver & ffmpeg"
Any help will be appretiated.

Thans in advance....

It would be best to start a new topic with an appropriate subject for a new question, rather than hijacking your own thread with a related but different question. Hiding the question in the old thread will decrease the chances of getting an answer.

Both ATrpms and RPMforge have ffmpeg packages. I cannot find any ffserver package available, but ffmpeg is described as a server. A yum search turns up:[code]
