I am running RealProducer to capture and encode video from an ATI TV Wonder
card.
Is it possible to change the TV channel from a separate application while
RealProducer is still running and has the /dev/video device open? So far
everything I've tried gives me the "device or resource busy" error.
Currently I kill RealProducer, use v4lctl to change the channel, and then
restart RealProducer. Is there a better way to do this?
I am streaming TV and want to provide a web interface to change the
channel. The current stop/change/start approach works, but it is
inconvenient and slow, requiring the player to be restarted.
I am running v4l1, as RealProducer says it doesn't support v4l2. I have
read that v4l2 supports multiple opens on a device, but is there a
(hopefully convenient) way to do it under v4l1? Even a dirty hack is
acceptable... ;)
I am new to Video4Linux and having a lot of fun with it. Please excuse me
if I have missed an obvious solution to this problem.
Thanks,
Dan Carlson
