Summary: tvtime can't open /dev/video1

Initial Comment:
tvtime v1.0.2 on OpenSUSE 11.0.
I have Webcam that is autoconfigured as /dev/video0 and TV card /dev/video1
> tvtime -d=/dev/video1 produces:
Running tvtime 1.0.2.
Reading configuration from /etc/tvtime/tvtime.xml
Reading configuration from /home/markgo/.tvtime/tvtime.xml
videoinput: Cannot open capture device =/dev/video1: No such file or directory
> ls -l /dev/video1
crw-rw----+ 1 root video 81, 1 Nov 29 19:56 /dev/video1

fuser /dev/video1 does not indicate any user.

After I removed WebCam tvtime worked OK with default device.

How could I debug this?

kdetv works fine with this device.

Message:
Yep, you are right. It works this way, thanks a lot!
But I did not invent it:
> tvtime -h
Running tvtime 1.0.2.
Reading configuration from /etc/tvtime/tvtime.xml
Reading configuration from /home/markgo/.tvtime/tvtime.xml
usage: tvtime [OPTION]...

  -a, --widescreen           16:9 mode.
  -A, --nowidescreen         4:3 mode.
  -b, --vbidevice=DEVICE     VBI device (defaults to /dev/vbi0).
  -c, --channel=CHANNEL      Tune to the specified channel on startup.
  -d, --device=DEVICE        video4linux device (defaults to /dev/video0).
....
that's why I used '='.

C'mon. Just replace the "=" with a space in your command line.
Btw., you can set this up via "V4LDevice" in the ".tvtime/tvtime.xml"
configuration file.
