The problem is Skype and Google Chrome are closed source. So you cannot patch them to use libv4l directly. Preloading the library by changing the .desktop files or replace the binary by a small wrapper script seems to be the sanest approach.
I you want libv4l preloaded to ALL processes on your system you could add it to /etc/ld.so.preload (see man ld.so). Maybe you can restrict it to just i386 ones. But IMHO this solution is worse than the one above. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/826265 Title: flipped webcam image with libv4l on ASUS U31F To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/v4l-utils/+bug/826265/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
