[mythtv-users] Error upgrading to FC2: "Failed to open /dev/video0: Cannot allocate memory"

[Fa Yoeu]

I had this same problem.  I found out that /dev/video was a directory
after upgrading to FC2 from FC1.  I had to change mythtv to use
/dev/video0 instead by rerun the mythtv setup utility, after that it
worked.
