Time has conspired against me, and I haven't had much time for this yet. However, I did try a slightly different version of your command: ::config::setKey "webcamDevice" "/dev/webcam" with /dev/webcam being the symlink created through a udev rule. amsn had no problem finding the webcam, although the webcam is now actually at /dev/video1. Then I realised that the symlink isn't being created, because I'm not using the same webcam, so the rule doesn't apply. Doh! I need to do more testing on this. I'll try to get to it in the next day or so. Anne
