Couldn't run effectv without the LD_PRELOAD, with a :

Bus 001 Device 009: ID 046d:08da Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Messanger

Worked fine with it.

OK, in fact - I can confirm that it works with ubuntu & the preloading
in the skype wrapper. If you store the session via gnome, skype is
loaded via the real binary instead of the script. Adding it to the
startup items manually fixes this with my logitech quickcam stx.

Would anyone who has this hardware available be able to test with the
latest Karmic Alpha release just to confirm if this issue remains in the
actively developed release?  Images for testing are available at
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .  Please let us know your
results.  Thanks.

I am using Ubuntu 8.10 and I tried the LD_PRELOAD trick with skype and
cheese and instead of getting the weird green, I get an image with a lot
of color distortion. I attached a photo.

Also I get this error when running cheese:
 libv4lconvert: Error decompressing JPEG: fill_nbits error: need 3 more bits

[Bug 291723] Re: No picture from Logitech Quickcam Communicate Deluxe

[Cyril Chaboisseau]

This bug has been discussed in the video4linux mailing list 
 back in October.
See also the bugzilla entry related to this 
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11741

The reason why it worked with previous kernel is because the new gspca
driver in 2.6.27 uses v4l2 while the older out-of-tree gspca patch
worked with v4l1.

cf. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11741#c2
Also note that the Ubuntu devs are aware they need to patch all their 
apps to 
use libv4l to work seamlessly with cams supported by the new gspca when moving 
to 2.6.27. I'm very certain they know this as I personally told their 
kerneldevs this at the Plumbers conference.


Until then, to make the webcam work you'll have to prepend the LD_PRELOAD with 
v4l1compat module (package libv4l-0)  :

ex:
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so effectv

or with mplayer :
mplayer tv:// -tv  driver=v4l2:device=/dev/video0
(I could make the latter work with Debian but not the latest Ubuntu/Intrepid)

I've encountered similar results on Ubuntu and Debian as well.

>From what I can tell, this is rather a kernel issue : is works with all
versions up to 2.6.26 but v4l in 2.6.27 seem to break the way the
Logitech Quickcam is handled (maybe an API change ?).

I'll try to report to the V4L team for further debugging.

[Bug 291723] Re: No picture from Logitech Quickcam Communicate Deluxe

[Damien]

Same problem here with the Logitech Notebook Deluxe.

effectv gives repeats an error message:
v4lsync:VIDIOCSYNC: Invalid argument

ekiga doesn't like it either
"Your driver doesn't seem to support any of the color formats supported by 
Ekiga.
 Please check your kernel driver documentation in order to determine which 
Palette is supported."

Skype displays pure garbage(tm) in its small preview window.

But... the magic trick above fixes it: just type

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so my_program

when you launch "my_program".

Tested with skype, ekiga, effectv on Interpid Ibex 8.10 and kernel
2.6.27-9-generic

Bootnote: "cheese" works without this hack.

[Bug 291723] Re: No picture from Logitech Quickcam Communicate Deluxe

[MikeLeonard]

I have the same issue (black screen using Logitech Quickcam Communicate
Deluxe under Ubuntu 8.10) -- BUT, I found a simple fix. Apparently, the
camera defaults to some "auto" settings (probably brightness or
contrast). When I see the initial black screen, I take the camera and
point it to my laptop's LCD (or my brightly-lit Blackberry screen, or
some other light source). Immediately, the black screen goes bright
white, then when I remove the light source, the camera appears to
operate normally.

I am unable to find any utilities that let me configure or access the
camera's settings in Ubuntu. I tried installing the qc-usb-utils and qc-
usb-modules, but I didn't have much luck using qccam and qcdebug in
terminal. I'm hoping I can find something that provides some of the
functionality that I saw in the Windows driver (face-tracking, right-
lighting, etc.)

[Bug 291723] Re: No picture from Logitech Quickcam Communicate Deluxe

[proycon]

Is it using the gspca_zc3xx driver? From what I understand this is a
v4l2 driver and some apps use the older v4l1 instead. I got it to work
by preloading a wrapper library for v4l1 compatibility as follows (make
sure libv4l-0 is installed):

$ LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so camorama

If you're on a 64-bit system and use 32-bit apps like skype, then apt-
get install lib32v4l-0 and subsequently use:

$ LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype

I have a QuickCam Communicate STX, it was working perfectly with Ubuntu
8.04. Now that I have upgraded to 8.10 it does not work anymore either
with Egika, skype or amsn. I am using the 64bits version of Intrepid
Ibex. The wierd thing is that I also did an upgrade on my wife's laptop
form 8.04 to 8.10 (32 bits) version but on her computer her webcam which
is another logitech works perfectly.

Is this a known bug in the 64bits version of Ibex?
