The latest mplayer version should include the patch, but you might have to check it out from their SVN repository. I don't know if they released an official version with the patch included. > So may be it's not only the format (i.e. YUV) but also another issue how > device and data is handled by the app itself. To work the UVC webcams, application have to support V4L2 and at least one of the formats supported by the camera (YUV and/or MJPEG). Some application still support V4L1 only (vlc felt in that category last time I checked) or have bugs in their V4L2 implementation (xawtv and mplayer, before the patch got included). > I hope this info was some kind helpful to you. > > I also want to ask you to help me with the issues I stated in my other mail > if possible I can't really help there as I don't use Skype, sorry.
