mpv and ffmpeg are installed. To try mpv, a device should be specified and recognized. guest@imager:~$ ls -d /dev/u* /dev/uhid /dev/uinput /dev/urandom guest@imager:~$ ls -d /dev/v4l/by-path/* /dev/v4l/by-path/pci-0000:02:02.0-video-index0 /dev/v4l/by-path/pci-0000:02:02.0-video-index1 /dev/v4l/by-path/pci-0000:02:02.0-video-index2 /dev/v4l/by-path/pci-0000:02:02.0-video-index3 The v4l devices are on a Hauppauge pci WinTV card. The camera is plugged but not apparent in the software, to me at least. ? Thanks, ...
