xawtv


Recommended Posts

Can anyone help me with the problem below:

 

[root@localhost /]# xawtv

This is xawtv-3.94, running on Linux/i686 (2.6.11-6mdksmp)

can't open /dev/video0: Device or resource busy

v4l-conf had some trouble, trying to continue anyway

v4l2: open /dev/video0: Device or resource busy

v4l2: open /dev/video0: Device or resource busy

v4l: open /dev/video0: Device or resource busy

no video grabber device available

[root@localhost /]#

 

It seems like SPCA5xx program is using /dev/video0, which is currently being use by my webcam.

 

tried creating /dev/video1 and have xawtv use it, but it says it can not be found. and it seems it still want /dev/video0.

 

When I un-install spca5xx program and tried to run xawtv, then it would say that it cannot find /dev/video0, but I know it is created just like /dev/video1.
