I had an issue with CentOS 6 so gave up and went back to Fedora, which is a pity I was really looking forward to not having to upgrade my MythTV as frequently. One part of the working system is still from Atrpms.

The problem is that the v4l package in RHEL/CentOS is very old, but unlike ATRPMs, RPM Fusion has a policy, like Fedora EPEL, of not providing packages that already exist in the upstream (or EPEL) repositories. I don't completely understand the relationship between the driver, library, and utility packages, but you can reference this BZ bug I submitted some time ago for more information. Thus far, RH has declined to update the v4l package. Richard
