 Hi..
  I am trying to stream with ffmpeg using the device XI006AEPRO which is
 functionally a 6 channel AV capture card.. I have installed the driver and
 can watch video from connected devices through vlc.. When trying to use
 the device with FFMPEG (dumping file or streaming live) it shows the error
 message saying..

 "[video4linux2,v4l2 @ 0x2eb09e0] ioctl(VIDIOC_G_PARM): Inappropriate ioctl
 for device
 /dev/video0: Inappropriate ioctl for device"
 Command line along with output is provided below..

 The same thing happens even with the newly compiled FFMPEG..
