user $mplayer -tv driver=v4l2:device=/dev/video0 tv://
Note
Need mplayer build with v4l2 USE flag

Bug On new kernel (3.3.8) camera hangs the system, to avoid this, build driver as module.

KERNEL

And put below options to the module.

root #echo "options uvcvideo nodrop=1" > /etc/modprobe.d/uvcvideo.conf

Sleep

If after Fn-F2 laptop goes to suspend and wakes up immediately, run as root code below and try again.

root #echo US15 > /proc/acpi/wakeup

If the problem was fixed, add this code to autostart. For example:

root #echo "echo US15 > /proc/acpi/wakeup" > /etc/local.d/suspend_fix.start
root #chmod +x /etc/local.d/suspend_fix.start
