You may want to look at the docs for "motion", and read the conf files.  Most of what lmce does adding devices in lmce is really in the end auto-configuring the motion conf files.

FIRST OF ALL THANKS FOR THE GREAT PRODUCT..
I have them (both the 4-port bttv capture cards) working.. All I needed to do was follow the directions.
(and understand that the verbage may be slightly off being that the project is fresh....)
thanks.
