Bug Description
Binary package hint: cameramonitor
I have two video devices on my system, a Microsoft LifeCam Cinema USB web cam, and an ATI HDTV Wonder PCI HDTV/NTSC tuner card. Unfortunately Ubuntu is inconstant between boots as to which one is /dev/video0 or /dev/video1.
Camera Monitor does not appear to allow me to run more than one instance, and only lets me specify one /dev/video to monitor. This means that half the time Camera Monitor will not tell me that the camera is on, and if I could ever get the NTSC part of the ATI HDTV Wonder to work, it would falsely claim the camera was on when the tuner was in use.
