Two cameras but only one of them works

I just realized that I have two cameras.

[nikola@leviathan ~]$ ls /sys/class/video4linux/
video0  video1

They are the same USB device.

[nikola@leviathan ~]$ file /sys/class/video4linux/*
/sys/class/video4linux/video0: symbolic link to ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb1/1-3/1-3:1.0/video4linux/video0
/sys/class/video4linux/video1: symbolic link to ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb1/1-3/1-3:1.0/video4linux/video1

The first one works.

[nikola@leviathan ~]$ mpv /dev/video0
Playing: /dev/video0
 (+) Video --vid=1 (rawvideo 640x480 30.000fps)

But the second one does not!

[nikola@leviathan ~]$ mpv /dev/video1
Playing: /dev/video1

Exiting... (Errors when loading file)

Why my second camera isn't working and how can I fix that?
