/dev/video0 is a symbolic link to /dev/v4l/video0: |
77 |
|
78 |
|
79 |
camille ~ # ls -l /dev/video0 |
80 |
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Jan 8 05:51 /dev/video0 -> v4l/video0 |
81 |
|
82 |
In mythtsetup's Input Connections the only one I have set is the Tuner |
83 |
one and it's hooked to a Video Source named Cable which is set up with |
84 |
DataDirect. I'll try deleting the settings and starting over... |
