Comment (by Marton Balint):
You could always enforce the used input demuxer/device with -f v4l2. E.g.
{{{
ffplay -f v4l2 /dev/webcam
}}}
Right now ffmpeg only automatically assumes a v4l2 device if the filename
used is /dev/video. Maybe it could probe the filename to determine if it
is a valid v4l2 char device instead of relying on the filename itself.
