Subject of the issue
My USB capture card is showing up as 3 separate devieces /dev/video0, /dev/video1 and /dev/media3 after connected to my Raspberry Pi.

But Restreamer cannot detect them in the list of video sources, probing them in advanced mode also fails.

Turns out /dev/ contents are refreshed on container start, docker restart fixed it.

Unfortunately it still doesn't work because my USB capture card only supports YUYV and ffmpeg is unable to ingest the source stream because of this error ioctl(VIDIOC_QBUF): Bad file descriptor
