Re: Ubuntu and AverMedia DVD EZMaker USB Gold

[Jorge Cabrera <jorge.cabrera@andago.com>]

Hello again,

I was wrong here, the driver works, the device works great but what's 
going on is that it uses the tuner as the default input, when I run 
mplayer with input=1 (composite video) or input=2 (s-video) it works good:

mplayer tv:// -tv input=1:device=/dev/video0

But this isn't good enough because cheese and camorama and flash use the 
default input. How can I set up default input to composite video or 
s-video? Should I add something to the options that the Avermedia kernel 
module uses?

I would appreciate any help,

Cheers
