Hi everybody,
I'm trying to complete my webcam configuration.

Below I copy the streamer output.

master@cray1:~$ streamer -d -c /dev/video0 -b 16 -t 0:05 -s 320x240 -o test.avi

What's wrong?
Thanks for help.

hi,
Which driver r you using? are you using spca5xx driver for Quickcam pro 5000?? From where you installed streamer ??

hi,

I'm using UVCVIDEO driver from linux-uvc.berlios .de
The streamer command belong at xawtv (release 3.95) package, linux.bytesex. org/xawtv/.

Bye and thanks for help.

i think u better recompile xawtv package and then use streamer

Hi,
now the webcam works, or better I think that it had always worked. Was the software like gnomemeeting that doesn't support v4l2 devices, with EKIGA all works. Now I read that xawtv is v4l2 compatible so I think that there is something about xawtv'sconfiguration.

hi,
try asking your problem on freenode irc's #v4l channel

that channel doesnt exist

strange currently I am logged in that channel.
