It appears the old version worked all along, I thought the mplayer test command was actually 2 commands with the line break in the wrong place, ie. LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so mplayer tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:width=640:height=480:fps=25:device=/dev/ video0 -vo jpeg It was confusing because mplayer appeared to be referencing v4l2 in the init messages even when called the wrong way (and it was displaying the image posted earlier). Here's a very blurry screenshot, everything now looks like it's in the right place. http://users.on.net/~bsalmon/Ben1.jpg Thanks for all your help.
