OK, lets see if /dev/video0 works first. What happens if you do:
,---- | mplayer /dev/video0 `----
Is that supposed to work?
For a lot of TV tuner cards, yes- I do it all the time with my Hauppauge WinTV PVR 150. However, more options might be needed, dependent on the card- that is why in a subsequent post, I asked for the output of "hwinfo --tv".
For me, it doesn't, and I have a working /dev/video0 (a webcam, actually).
You need to pass more options for your webcam. Try something like: ,---- | mplayer tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:width=640:height=480:device=/dev/video0 -fps 30 `---- This works for my uvc based webcam.
