Yes, for example VLC doesn't support v4l2 yet. Here is a patch I back ported to 2.6.17 last year. http://www.pixelbeat.org/patches/linux-2.6.17-em28xx-v4l1.diff I didn't try to get it merged as I thought Markus would do it, but looks like that's unlikely now. Also here is a patch to allow shared access to the video device (so you can have a separate tuner program to VLC for example): http://www.pixelbeat.org/patches/linux-2.6.17-em28xx-shared.diff > Incidentally, I notice you appear to be developing userspace drivers > for the tvp5150 and zl10353. Is that really necessary? It is necessary if Markus wants to stop people merging code back from his in-kernel driver fork. Call me a cynic, but I'm confused about Markus' motives in all this. Markus, please do the right thing and just merge your code! (and please don't reply this giving reasons you won't/can't do this).
