use ivtvctl -n to get a list of inputs |

nick@media:~$ ivtvctl -n |

Then use ivtvctl -p X to set the input to X - egi want to set input 1 |
57 |
for composite 0 so I do: |
58 |
|
59 |
ivtvctl -p 1 |
60 |
|
61 |
you can check what it is set to with |
62 |
|
63 |
ivtvctl -P |
64 |
|
65 |
nick@media:~$ ivtvctl -P |
66 |
ioctl VIDIOC_G_INPUT ok |
67 |
Video input = 1 |
