VLC is unable to open the MRL 'v4l://'. Check the log for details.

Hi,

I think VLC removed support for Webcams. Only video streaming devices and DVB-
X devices are supported.

Flickering pictures might be due to lack of buffering in webcamd.

Could you dump the config descriptor with usbconfig for your device?

Which version of webcamd are you using?

--HPS



That's interesting with VLC, googling around seems to suggest it works
with V4L2

usbconfig -u 2 -a 2 dump_curr_config_desc is at the end of this message.

As for mplayer, I'm going to "assuME" it's more user error/command line
options after playing a bit more with it.
