I'm running centos 6.7 64bit and I have a ms lifecam cinema webcam connected, I've installed v4l-utils-1.6.3 but the webcam won't work with it. The blue light is on on the webcam, the cam works fine in windows 7 so it's not the hardware. I'm doing everything as root.
lsusb gives:
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 045e:075d Microsoft Corp. LifeCam Cinema
I have /dev/video0 when I connect the camera.
This is what I get in /var/log/messages when the camera is plugged in:

Here's what I get with some v4l2 commands:
v4l2-ctl -I
Video input : 0 (Camera 1: ok)
v4l2-ctl -O
VIDIOC_G_OUTPUT: failed: Invalid argument
v4l2-ctl -l gives nothing, the cursor just drops to the next line.
I've been trawling google but nothing seems to work.
If I run ffmpeg on the cam I get
/dev/video0: Input/output error. What am I missing? thanks for any pointers.
