On my system I see: $ ls -l /dev/vid* crw-rw---- 1 root video 81, 0 Feb 6 18:45 /dev/video0 crw-rw---- 1 root video 81, 1 Feb 6 18:45 /dev/video1 crw-rw---- 1 root video 81, 2 Feb 6 18:45 /dev/video2 crw-rw---- 1 root video 81, 3 Feb 6 18:45 /dev/video3 $ ls -l /dev/media0 crw------- 1 root root 253, 0 Feb 6 18:45 /dev/media0 So my actual media files are usable by my 'video' user, but not the media controller interface. Also, where are these devices created? I'm running udev 182 Thanks for any pointers -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Gary Thomas | Consulting for the MLB Associates | Embedded world ------------------------------------------------------------
