Software :: V4l2 Webcam Not Working
May 17, 2011
I found a following codes along with headers from the link given below,
http://v4l2spec.bytesex.org/spec/capture-example.html
I connected the webcam and compiled the program successfully without any error. When I try to RUN the program I could see some strange things happening but no output. I could see a camera is detecting but I could not see any display on the screen.Here is the compile and execution result of my code.
As you see my output, It just prints a dotted line and stops the execution automatically. While printing the dotted line, I could see my webcam lights switch on for sometime but no display on the screen.
The idea is I need to display and run the webcam on the VLC player.

I am trying to develop an application that uses webcameras (in jaunty), so I found this code here, which gives examples: [URL]. I compiled it on my computer (which has a built in webcam on top that I know works, tested it and it worked in luvcview) and then tried to run it. I get an error message that says:
Cannot identify '/dev/video': 2, No such file or directory
I have located the part in the program where this comes from:
static void
open_device (void)
{ struct stat st;
if (-1 == stat (dev_name, &st)) {
/*dev_name is "/dev/video" btw, defined in main*/
fprintf (stderr, "Cannot identify '%s': %d, %s",
dev_name, errno, strerror (errno));
exit (EXIT_FAILURE);
}

I have video capture device "MSI vox USB 2.0", every thing seem to be fine, but none of tv applications show the device, they just show my webcam "/dev/video0"
It's driver is "em28xx" from "v4l2"
I test it with "mythtv, tvtime, xawtv, kdetv, me-tv, v4l2-tool, vlc, mplayer" none of them work detect the device, expect mplayer open a green window with time out message.
The device work fine under windows I test it with vlc-win
lsusb show:

I am trying desperately to create a virtual video device (v4l2), meaning something like /dev/video0 that when accessing it (say, with xawtv or whatever) I get a certain video file played.
I am trying to do this with vloopback. After doing modprobe vloopback, the vloopback input device declared is /dev/video0 and the output device is /dev/video1.
I am trying to do this:
Code:
mencoder vid.avi -nosound -vf scale=320:240 -ovc raw -of rawvideo -o /dev/video0
and then to view the movie with this:
Code:
xawtv -c /dev/video1
[Code].....

I'm looking to buy a new webcam to use under karmic/lucid, but I'm not sure which one is best. I've taken a look at the list of supported web cameras, but I was hoping for some recommendations. The cheaper the better

I have a crappy usb UVC webcam (iCan brand), but I don't really know how to get it working? Do I need to install any drivers? What software would I use to get it to work? Do I need to enable anything? It doesn't seem to be showing video if I open skype, although it does detect that I have something on /dev/video0, and lsusb gives:Bus 001 Device 007: ID 0ac8:332d Z-Star Microelectronics Corp. Vega USB 2.0 Camera

I installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS one week ago without any problems on my Packard Bell EasyNote MX67-P-023 notebook.
Everything works fine except my webcam "USB 2.0 Camera"
lsusb: Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0402:5602 ALi Corp. Video Camera Controller
In programs like aMsn, Emesene, or Cheese it's recognized as "USB 2.0 Camera"
For example(I'm translating menus from italian) in aMSN->preferences->Other->Audio Video:
- select device box: "v4l2: USB 2.0 Camera"
- select channel box:" ALi m5602"
- and in the video box where image should appear: "unable capture from device"
In the other programs it shows a completely blank screen, or sometimes a blank screen with some strange uncomprensible white-grey stripes.

My computer has been running well for a couple of years with Ubuntu and the Gnome desktop. I use a very cheap webcam from PCWorld PC Line 1.3 Mega Pixels with Cheese and Skype which worked on Ubuntu. The new Ubuntu Unity desktop seems most unintuitive and reading that Ubuntu may not include Gnome for the next release is my reason to make the change to Debian. I am aware Ubuntu is a Debian derivative.
I have installed Debian Squeeze and everything is working properly apart from the webcam. When I open Cheese the webcam works but very slowly although it will not capture video. When I open Cheese > Preferences, I see the Device listed as USB 2.0 Camera (/dev/video0) but greyed out. When I open Skype > Options > Video I see the same greyed out listing but no image appears in the test area.

I just installed skype on my F12 yesterday, the webcam I am using is a logitech C200, which has built-in microphone. I got the video working fine but not the microphone. No sound can be recorded.The same microphone works fine on my Windows 7, so at least I can eliminate hardware issue.I have never used microphone on my F12 before

Okay, I've got a small webcam for my laptop that doesn't come with Linux drivers, only Windows drivers. Any linux-based drivers that came with Ubuntu 9.04 that might work don't. How do I make the Windows drivers for the webcam work with the hardware so I can use the webcam?

I installed skype today and was in the middle of a web convo, and then skype crashed. Since then, my cam has not worked at all. I've tried Cheese, camorama, guvcview, and none of them are working. They all display "device not found".

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype

Few months ago I had updated my OpenSuse 11.2 to new kernel but I broke it so never got to fix it. Now I've upgraded it to 11.3 and its working really well. Really happy with the KDE interface. Not missing Windows 7 at all (dual booting). I've got almost everything working and in fact got a lot more apps than Windows. For example 2 or 3 different versions of MSN Messenger!
I've got couple of minor issues. Firstly, my Logitech Webcam isn't getting detected by OpenSuse. When I open up the Cheese app it doesn't detect any cam.
Secondly, is there a Yahoo Messenger available for Linux? I've got some family/friends who use MSN and others Yahoo. I need webcam functionality in Yahoo Messenger.

I have a webcam
Code:
:~> lsusb
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 1c4f:0002 SiGma Micro
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 0ac8:301b Z-Star Microelectronics Corp. ZC0301 Webcam
I didn't use it for a long time. But the last time I checked it Under Ubuntu, cheese was able to read from it & gstreamer properties also tested it successfully.
But now that I need the webcam, I can't get it work
gstreamer properties says " Video for Linux 2 (v4l2): Could not negotiate format".
Is this webcam not supported now ?
