Following dmesg messages occur on plugging the webcam to USB port: uvideo1 at uhub4 port 2 configuration 1 interface 0: ARKMICRO (0x18ec) USB2.0 PC CAMERA (0x3399), rev 2.00/1.00, addr 24 video1 at uvideo1: ARKMICRO (0x18ec) USB2.0 PC CAMERA (0x3399), rev 2.00/1.00, addr 24 uaudio0 at uhub4 port 2 configuration 1 interface 2 uaudio0: ARKMICRO (0x18ec) USB2.0 PC CAMERA (0x3399), rev 2.00/1.00, addr 24 uaudio0: audio rev 1.00 audio2 at uaudio0: full duplex, playback, capture, mmap, independent uaudio0: Virtual format configured - Format SLINEAR, precision 16, channels 2, frequency 48000 uaudio0: Latency: 180 milliseconds spkr3 at audio2: PC Speaker (synthesized) At present I just want to play the camera output on x11 screen. So far, with mplayer (tried with v4l2 driver and various of its options) managed to show only a green screen. ffmpeg4, mpv gave input/output error. Device permissions /dev/video* are set right manually to be owned by a non root user. What could be the options to get this work - either applications or even APIs would do? Mayuresh
