If I typed the commands, it worked. If I scripted them, it locked up solid. It was indeed timing, I put "sleep 5" between each command in my scripts and it doesn't lock up anymore. I can also reproduce the hard lockup if I use xawtv and am really fast with the mouse to change a few settings at once, likely the same issue of sending too many v4lctl commands too fast. -- Trevor Boicey, P.
