Public bug reported:
I'm trying to use an USB camera on Chromium, however it is not being
detected. lsusb shows it as:
Bus 001 Device 076: ID 0c45:6001 Microdia Genius VideoCAM NB
While this camera isn't the best I've ever seen, it works properly when
using ffplay and guvcview. The following is the output of some utilities
related to the camera:
