That's cool.

First of all, look here: you seem to have ported stk1160 successfully.
But...

Are you *also* running easycap?

Are both modules running at the same time?

If yes, then please blacklist the "easycap" driver as it's deprecated: stk1160
replaces it and you should not use both.

Thanks,

Right. In that case you can forget about the "easycap" driver.
I can only help you getting your stuff working with stk1160.

Do you have any chance to upgrade your kernel to a v3.7+ ?

Keep in mind it's very unlikely that you'll get much support from the community
using such an ancient kernel, and with a driver that you backported yourself
(although I'll investigate this a bit).

I am not sure how much work it would take to upgrade this particular
kernel to 3.7+. The code for it came from
https://github.com/olegk0/rk3066-kernel but I think it differs
significantly from the main line structure and has several custom
drivers. I will try and get a 3.7 kernel running on an x86 machine and
see if I can get it to run though. Thanks for taking the time to
investigate.

That sounds like a good plan! Please try with a v3.7+ kernel on x86
and report your findings.
