Folks,
I am running through a weird problem. I am running Debian stretch on my thinkpad t430. When I try to capture video using my integrated webcam, I am able to view a streaming video, if I
xawtv -c /dev/video0
and not when I issue,
mplayer tv://
The error I get is,
--> mplayer tv://

comment: first try, more to come ;-)
v4l2: your device driver does not support VIDIOC_G_STD ioctl, VIDIOC_G_PARM was used instead.

MPlayer interrupted by signal 11 in module: filter_video
- MPlayer crashed by bad usage of CPU/FPU/RAM.
Recompile MPlayer with --enable-debug and make a 'gdb' backtrace and
disassembly. Details in DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports_what.html#bugreports_crash.
[ This binary of MPlayer in Debian is currently compiled with
'--enable-debug'; the debugging symbols are in the package
'mplayer-dbgsym'.]
Could anyone shed some light on why mplayer crashes with the above error, whereas xawtv able to show?
Any help to debug and fix the issue would be much appreciated.
I have video 4 linux 2 (v4l2) installed and running default kernel comes with debian stretch and updated to the latest through apt
My v4l2-ctl --list-devices says:
Integrated Camera (usb-0000:00:1a.0-1.6):
/dev/video0
