Hi, Try xvinfo on your command line under X and then v4linfo on /dev/video0
Check if you can find a match on the formats (YUV, MJPEG, RGB etc) exposed by the camera and the overlays exposed by your graphic card. Normally when using XV your card exposes a few overlay formats (don't bother about their sizes) and your camera should match one of those. Try to force skype to use something else than Xv for video display. (maybe by launching it with some command line arguments).

I tried gstreamer-properties to find the camera, but had no luck: gstreamer-properties-Message: Error running pipeline 'Video for Linux (v4l)': Could not get/set settings from/on resource. [v4l_calls.c(409): gst_v4l_set_chan_norm (): /pipeline0/v4lsrc3: Error setting the channel/norm settings: Invalid argument] gstreamer-properties-Message: Error running pipeline 'Video for Linux 2 (v4l2)': Could not negotiate format [gstbasesrc.c(2359): gst_base_src_start (): /pipeline1/v4l2src2: Check your filtered caps, if any] Any ideas why gstreamer doesn't work with uvcvideo? Maybe I should fix that problem first. Any hints would be helpful. Is there anything left to implement in uvcvideo to get it working? Or is it a wrong configuration issue? Could I provide you with more information? regards Andreas _______________________________________________ Linux-uvc-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/linux-uvc-devel _______________________________________________ Linux-uvc-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/linux-uvc-devel
