[gentoo-user] webcam on Gentoo Logitech C270

2014-12-21 Thread Joseph

I have a Logitech C270 webcam but I can not make it to work with linux/skype

USB sound in kernel is ON:
CONFIG_SND_USB_AUDIO=y

lsusb
...
Bus 008 Device 006: ID 046d:0825 Logitech, Inc. Webcam C270

When I plug the USB cam I get an error:

xhci_hcd :02:00.0: ERROR: unexpected command completion code 0x11.
usb 8-1: Not enough bandwidth for altsetting 4

Hi Joseph,

Ooops...I am using 3.18.1 vanilla here.
 
Derek Molloy runs this camera on a beaglebone black
(an ambedded Linux system)...
Forget the part regarding the Beaglebone Black,
but Linux is Linux is Linux is Linux :)
Therefore the hints on kernel configuration
items should be hopefully usable for you.
His webpage is here:

Do you have these enabled and set?

grep '^CONFIG.*V4L' /usr/src/linux/.config
CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L2=m
CONFIG_V4L_PLATFORM_DRIVERS=y

CONFIG_MEDIA_SUPPORT=m
CONFIG_USB_VIDEO_CLASS=m
CONFIG_USB_VIDEO_CLASS_INPUT_EVDEV=y
CONFIG_USB_GSPCA=m
CONFIG_MEDIA_PCI_SUPPORT=y

grep -s ^LD_PRELOAD .*
.bash_profile:LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so

Also, you may want to try plugging you webcam into a USB2 port, if
available, instead of a USB3 one, as suggested here,
http://linux-kernel.2935.n7.nabble.com/3-15-8-USB-issue-with-uvc-cam-td920378.html
.

Hope this helps.

CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L2=y
CONFIG_V4L_PLATFORM_DRIVERS=y

CONFIG_MEDIA_SUPPORT=y
CONFIG_USB_VIDEO_CLASS=y
CONFIG_USB_VIDEO_CLASS_INPUT_EVDEV=y
CONFIG_USB_GSPCA=m  
I think there is no need to enable the above: CONFIG_USB_GSPCA=m since nome of the dirvr are enabled as module.


CONFIG_MEDIA_PCI_SUPPORT=y

I run as user:
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so

Yes, USB web-cam is plugged to USB2
But still skype does not recogines it :-(

Hi Joseph,

in conjucntion with the C920 I found that guvcview does not plai well
with it.

First try to get anything from your webcam, before trying Skype or
such - so you have to fight against too many open ends or failure
sources.

Do you have gstreamer installed?

Try this command/shell script:
You have to adopt the device options to you setup.
It will record and display the video stream.

#! /bin/zsh
td=`date +%Y-%m-%d-%Hh%Mh%Ss`
fn=c920-$td.mp4  
gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src device=/dev/video1 ! 
video/x-h264,width=1920,height=1080,framerate=30/1 ! h264parse ! muxout. 
alsasrc device=hw:3,0 ! queue ! audioconvert ! lamemp3enc ! muxout. 
matroskamux name=muxout streamable=true ! filesink location=$fn 
mplayer $fn 

HTH!
Best regards,
Meino

It can't open the device. You probably aren't in the right group for access.

I suspect it'd be the video group, just do:

ls -lhd /dev/video0

...and see what the permissions are, it's probably going to be root:video.

For my mythtv card, I know for sure it's root:video.

If that's all it is, use gpasswd and add yourself to the group then log
out and in again.

It can't open the device. You probably aren't in the right group for access.

I suspect it'd be the video group, just do:

ls -lhd /dev/video0

...and see what the permissions are, it's probably going to be root:video.

For my mythtv card, I know for sure it's root:video.

If that's all it is, use gpasswd and add yourself to the group then log
out and in again.

YES, that was it.  I was fighting with it all afternoon and it was so simple :-/

Though, the video and voice work with guvcview and can record it and save it 
but with skype only video works.
I think the problem is pulse audio, skype only show pulse audio option; guvcview allow me to switch to: 
USB Device 0x46d:0x825 Audio.


How to force skype to USB Device Audio?

 Ah, you need first the drivers then. Don't bother with out-of-tree
 drivers. Try (directly in your kernel) USB_VIDEO_CLASS (a.k.a. UVC),
 CONFIG_USB_GSPCA, and if that doesn't work enable all of
 CONFIG_USB_GSPCA_*. Mine works only with CONFIG_USB_GSPCA.

 After loading the modules, or booting with the new kernel, see if you
 have /dev/v4l (it's a dir). Then any modern software (e.g., Cheese or
 google-talkplugin) will autodetect the camera.

Sounds like a plan.

[gentoo-user] Webcam under linux-2.6.34.00

2010-05-22 Thread meino . cramer

Hi,

 Recently I installed linux-2.6.34.00 (vanilla).
 I adopted the config file where (I thought) it
 need to.

 The previouse kernel I used was linux-2.6.32.13 (vanilla).

 With the old kernel I was able to use my Web Cam 
 (Sony Playstation Eye/Omnivision ov534 according to 
 usbview -- see below) via VLC media player 1.0.6 Goldeneye 
 and via guvcview (I use a svn snapshot of this application).
 With the old kernel guvcview does not show any image control
 sliders but works fine so far.

 Using the new kernel, things are going wrong somehow

 When accessing the cam for the first time after a boot,
 there is often a video stream, but the image is much
 too bright. But guvcview offers image control sliders now
 even for my cam.

 But: Using that sliders or accessing the cam a second
 time after restarting as vlc as guvcview results in
 *nothing*: no stream, no picture. The real incarnation
 of a black whole.

 When starting guvcview from the command line it prints
 device temporarily not accessible/available or something
 like that. 

 I haven't figured out whether the cam hangs or the driver
 goes nuts or...

 Powercycling of the Cam via usb unplugging/replugging does
 not help, though.

 I recompiled libv4l, guvcview and vlc when the new kernel
 was booted (and the /usr/src/linux symlink was set accordinglingly)
 but the result was the same.

 What can I do to access and use my webcam under linux-2.6.34.00 
 successfully?

 Below I included information about my system according the webcam:

[gentoo-user] Webcam ? Help me please...

2009-07-25 Thread meino . cramer
 
Hi,

To watch some birds I have bought a Logitech QuickCam Pro For
Notebooks WebCam.

I have configurted the kernel for UVC and compiled a driver 
as modulem which is stated to support my Cam.

...the only thing I need is an application to make 
the video visible and which allows me to save the 
video and an application to control the
cameras features.

I found zoneminder which is masked due to security issues 
and which neeed A LOT more things to support features I wont
use (PHP, MySQL...).

I qsearched for web cam (not match) and other keywords without
success.

A hint, what to install would be very helpful and heartly
welcome!

Have a nice weekend!
Kind regards,
Meino Cramer

I use cheese, which let you take photos and videos. Under the menu
Edit/Preferences I can customize the resolution.

Hi Manuel.

sounds good! Thanks for the hint. But,


I installed cheese without complains of the compile process.
But starting cheese produces:

solfire:/home/mccramercheese
cheese: error while loading shared libraries: libplc4.so.7: cannot open 
shared object file: No such file or directory

And ldd /usr/bin/cheese produces beside other things:

libplc4.so.7 = not found
libplds4.so.7 = not found
libnspr4.so.7 = not found
libplc4.so.7 = not found

libplds4.so.7 = not found
libnspr4.so.7 = not found
libplc4.so.7 = not found
libplds4.so.7 = not found
libnspr4.so.7 = not found


Further investigations shows, that instead the *7* version of
that libs the *8* versions are installed on my box?

qsearch libplc
or
qsearch plc


doesnt produce anything meaningful.

/usr/lib/nspr, where libplc is located, is in /etc/ld.so.conf.

Lost?

Hi,

Thank you for the hint. The programm says unable to capture image.
Executing it as root does the same.

ffmpeg could capture a video stream from my webcam, so the cam is not 
the problem...

Try to execute it in pretend mode (with the flag --pretend) and see if
it discovers some broken packages.

Hi,

ok, revdep-rebuild and re-emerge of nss/nspr does the thing...now I
can see through my webcam.

BUT:
Max. resolution is 176x144 in vido mode (nothing more offered via
preferences)
Is it all I can exspect from a Logitech Quickcam Pro for Notebooks?

Furthermore: The autofocus seems to be off - the image is blurry...

Is there any other trick I should know?

Thanks again for any help in advance!

Have you tried good old mplayer ? It can play the stream from your
webcam just fine and it's very configurable.

That is VERY small...

The resolution given in the commandline is for the output device

Nay idea how to do this with mplayer?

Hi,

If you mean a logitech 5000, this page may helps you:

I don't know the cam, but had no problem with old quickcams or spca5xx

 I think the Logitech Quickcam is the general answer to that question. I
 think the cheap one is around 30-40US, though.

Yup, works like a champ.  Had to go get the driver, but once I did, it just 
stood up.  And it doesn't look TOO bad, either.  It's not TV quality, but it 
is good enough.

Thanx,

I just gotten a very inexpensive webcam to work. It's a no-brand USD15
webcam using the gspcav1 driver.

I think this is the one.

Since you guys are talking about webcams on Linux, I'd like to know if
anyone has ever tried the Creative Live! Cam Voice on Linux, or at
least knows if it's possible to use it. I'd like to be able to use it
at least on Linux, since it doesn't have stable drivers for Win Vista
and I'm not willing to install the beta version yet (too much data I
can't afford to lose right now). Since I bought my new laptop, my cam
is sitting in my desk drawer, and it was way too expensive to remain
this way.

Thanks!

Hi all.

I'm looking for an inexpensive USB webcam that works with both Linux and 
Windoze.  Something that I can pick up at Walmart or Circuit City would be 
best.

Any recommendations?

I have a Logitech Quickcam and it is fully supported. I spent 20 € for
it. I use it routinely with aMSN. Very cheap stuff however -the iSight
on my Macbook Pro beats it hands down, however it is not so fully
supported :( .

Sam Revich had a driver for the webcam on my HP dv9000t, which allowed
me to get images.  Something in the control data is different from the
standard model however, so I can't really do anything with it without
crashing the device, and I haven't been a good debugging partner.  I'd
be happy to use the thing but I don't have time to figure it out right
now.

I don't know if my device is the same as yours -- Sam has a listing of
the USB device numbers on his blog, so you can see if his driver would
work.  If you have problems using it, he may be willing to work with
you if you have time to help him with the data he needs for debugging.

Here's the blog:
