Summary: USB Camera

Initial Comment:
I've been using tvtime for a few years now and I absolutely love it. I've recently come across a problem that's driving me crazy. I installed a usb camera and now whenever tvtime starts it chooses the camera as the video source instead of my tv tuner card. I wouldn't consider this that big of an issue except that it won't allow me to change the source when it does this. I have to close tvtime and delete it's folder from my home directory, disconnect the camera, and then restart my pc to get it to work properly. Can anyone offer a little guidance?

Message:
Amazingly enough I found the answer mere seconds before your reply. I
changed my tvtime.xml file to read as follows;

<option name="V4LDevice" value="/dev/video1"/>

Previously it defaulted to <option name="V4LDevice" value="/dev/video0"/>
which is what a reboot was naming my video cam. Thanks for the response
though.

Message:
I had the same problem but the solution is very simple - just make an icon
for running tvtime with something like that:
"tvtime --device=/dev/video1"
You've got to check which video device is TV card (by using something
like: "dmesg | grep video").
