Same window content from a 2nd Hauppauge card and I replaced the first card. The device file dialogues to open the stream aren't reasonable. The default device in VLC is /dev/dvb/video0 but /dev/dvb doesn't exist. It must be a default compiled in or from a configuration file. VLC and Test Bench show /dev/v4l/by-path/ as empty whereas it contains four files. In a terminal, copied "pci-0000:02:0d0-video-index1" to the clipboard, selected /dev/v4l/by-path/ in the dialogue and pasted the file name "pci-00 ...". The "Open" button was inactive but "Enter" opened the device. Test Bench then gave a plausible image from the camera. One problem solved. Didn't get the media selection in VLC to work yet but the effort with Test Bench should help. I left it there and will resume next week. When we have a reasonable image from the microscope, will post another report. Any ideas about the faulty device dialogue. A dependancy not respected? Thanks again, ...
