Bug Description
Binary package hint: xawtv
The "scantv" utility specifies the default "vbi" device file as /dev/vbi.
This may fail because v4l2 creates /dev/vbi0 instead.
For example:
saa7130[0]: registered device video0 [v4l2]
saa7130[0]: registered device vbi0
saa7130[0]: registered device radio0
The solution is trivial:
1. Use "scantv -C /dev/vbi0" or
2. Symlink to the correct file "ln -s /dev/vbi0 /dev/vbi"
Still, I think this should be fixed in the package.
Is there any reason to expect only one /dev/vbi?
What happens when there are two TV tuners? I assume /dev/vbi0 and /dev/vbi1 both exist?
This has been known for a long time in Debian and Ubuntu, but nobody has done anything about it. See:
