[vlc] v4l input error: cannot open device (Is a directory)

[Ricardo Kleemann]

Hi all,

I just installed VLC on Fedora Core 2. I have a Hauppauge WinTV card which
is properly recognized in /dev/video. But when I startup vlc and try to
capture, I get the above mentioned message.

It mentions "playlist item 'v4l://'"  although I'm not trying to do anything
with playlist.

What is the correct syntax for v4l:// ?

BTW, I'm just running "vlc" from the command line without any additional
arguments, and then from the GUI I attempt to capture.

Thanks for any help

Ricardo
