Hi Robert,

I've added linux-media on Cc since someone might find your
question on interest.

There is currently no driver supporting 0x1b71 vendor id.

It seems Chinese manufacturers like to make usb capture devices
and use the name Easycap for every one of them :-)

However, since usb bridge chip is different,
a completely new driver should be written;
and unless you can get a datasheet the
only way I know to (blindly) write such driver
is with a lot of reverse engineering.

Good luck,
Ezequiel.
