dv tab in vrecord not recognizing device #793

Open krhaydon opened 4 months ago

Heya!

We are having trouble digitizing a DVCam tape in vrecord (and DV Rescue but that's for another time).

While deck control recognizes the device, it will not appear in the list of DV Devices.

When we try to record or passthrough, we get this: "The option for AVFCTL_INPUT_CHOICE is not set. Please restart vrecord in edit mode (vrecord -e) or update the configuration file at /Users/afftransferstation/.vrecord.conf."

I updated the configuration file with the name of the deck, but it didn't help. We've also restarted the computer, restarted the machines, and pressed the rescan button many times.

Any thoughts on how we can troubleshoot? We are working on Sonoma 14.3.1, vrecord 2023-08-07, ffmpeg version 6.1.1.

I had a similar issue where vrecord refused to acknowledge our Panasonic AJ-D250P decks. I am still unsure why. I was told to try the following four commands and see if anything of them worked. @libbyhopfauf had some similar issues, but I am unsure if they were resolved.

dvrescue --list_devices
avfctl --list_devices
dvrescue --capture -m [filepathtodvfile]
avfctl -cmd capture [filepathtodvfile]

For the last command the capture window does not appear but it will capture the tape and create a file.

Another thing I would mention is that there was a new release of DVRescue on 4/10 you may want to try using instead of the DV tab in vrecord.

@krhaydon I have also not been able to get vrecord to recognize my decks for a bit. I think @dericed was going to roll in a new version of dvrescue to vrecord to resolve some of these issues. Like @bravoalphatango mentioned, these a new release of DVRescue that has been consistently recognizing my decks. Would you mind trying that out and letting us know if it works?

Thanks all! I have been able to successfully transfer with DV rescue on another project and set of systems (HOORAY), but I won't have a chance to get back to the subject of this ticket until later in the summer. Feel free to close it and I can re-submit if the issue continues.
