Thanks for the application output. At the moment it looks like a kernel or driver problem. Libv4l could not start streaming.
Please run some additional commands: 1: Kernel messages : They should indicate if there is a driver or USB problem. First run your failing camera program. Then, please open a terminal and type 'dmesg > dmesg.txt. Please attach the generated text file. 2: Run v4l-info /dev/video1 (assuming video1 is the external device). You find this program in the package v4l-conf. 3. Run qv4l2 (package qv4l2). Are you able to get a proper stream with this program? If your camera uses the UVC driver (you can check the v4l-info output) you could also try luvcview.
