Package: empathy Version: 3.4.2.3-1 On squeeze, with the older version of empathy, this webcam causes empathy to become frozen (as described in bug 687789): http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=687789
On wheezy, no freezes, but the webcam only works intermittently When it does not work, the local video source (in the bottom left hand corner of the window) appears white, and the remote party sees all black background Simply switching the local source off and on a few times eventually makes it work This webcam is unusual in that it has inbuilt H.264 streaming support. Nonetheless, applications that don't support that feature should still work by using it as a normal UVC webcam. A related bug observed with guvcview may give hints about this: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=687440 Also, in at least one instance, calling from 3.4.2.3-1 (wheezy) to empathy on squeeze, it is observed that the squeeze instance of empathy is logging messages like the following on stdout: [h263 @ 0x1de8c00] Error, Invalid timestamp=4060, last=4060 continuously, although this can even be seen when it is working. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
