Question When do the video4linux ioctls are called?


Hello,

In the linux 2.6.29 source file

drivers/media/video/v4l2-ioctl.c

are the different ioctl commands for video output, does anyone know when these are called? Specifically the VIDIOC_S_OUTPUT ioctl case. During bootup this is called but I am not sure what exact application does this.

Thanks!

It is used in libvo (MPlayer) for instance.

Hard to say what runs it during your bootup, however.
