Is it possible to have more than one process read from /dev/video0? Can it be opened in a shared mode?

Hi,

It can be opened in the shared mode with the multiple streams like Video data and VBI data. It can also be opened multiple times for the control mode. But for the given input data, it can not be opened more than once.

Thx,
