Hello,
If the command is working from your ssh session, you can try the
following at the end of your change channel script:


( sleep 8; v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video-hdpvr --set-ctrl brightness=0x80
--set-ctrl contrast=0x40 --set-ctrl hue=0xf --set-ctrl saturation=0x40
--set-ctrl sharpness=0x80   > /dev/null 2>&1 ) &


This is working for me.  I end up with a few seconds of the saturation
issue, but the rest of the recording is fine.

Chris.
