Check the following site, it should have all the info you need to get it running:

I've upgraded ubuntu 8.04 to 9.04 and now my Webcam (Creative CT6840) works great,but its not recognized by vlc,what should I do ?

 

by: rindiPosted on 2009-08-17 at 23:46:26ID: 25120586

What have you already tried within VLC? Did you check via "Media", "Open Recording Device" (sorry if your menus are different, I'm translating from german)? Here you should be able to select the cam, but I can't verify this as I don't have one.

and then the gui of vlc appears,I click on /Media/Open Recording Device (ctrl-c) and on audio and video device I see nothing...even if I choose video for linux instead of video for linux 2

 

by: rindiPosted on 2009-08-18 at 03:25:21ID: 25121604

Try entering the device yourself. Something like /dev/video0, depending on what was assigned to the camera.

 

by: marietto2008Posted on 2009-08-18 at 04:24:27ID: 25121923

did it,it says :

v4l2 demux error : cannot open video device (access denied),maybe this is because I run vlc as normal user,not as root. But if I run it as root,it says :

vlc is not supported to be run as root,sorry. if you need to use real-time priorities and/or privileged TCP ports you can use vlc-wrapper (make sure it is set-UID root first and cannot be run by non-trusted users first)

 

by: rindiPosted on 2009-08-18 at 04:29:01ID: 25121955

No, it shouldn't be run as root, but maybe the /dev/video0 device doesn't have the correct rights set. What utility did you use when you said it worked great? Check the settings of that tool.

 

by: marietto2008Posted on 2009-08-18 at 04:48:39ID: 25122084

yesterday it worked great with xawtv,now it doesn't anymore,it says :

can't open /dev/video0 : device or resource busy
v4l-conf had some trouble,trying to continue anyway
v4l2 : open /dev/video0 : access denied
v4l : open /dev/video0 : access denied.
no video grabber device available.

i dunno why.

 

by: rindiPosted on 2009-08-18 at 05:01:58ID: 25122216

Looks like something is running already that uses that device. Have you tried a reboot?

 

by: marietto2008Posted on 2009-08-18 at 05:09:41ID: 25122295

yeah,when the computer is came back,I've placed the webcam on another usb port,now the device is located on /dev/video1. Only one tool works great,it is camstream,but I have to be root. I click on file / open video device / and the OV511+ USB Camera is detected. I've tried to use /dev/video1 in vlc,but without to be root,it says : access denied on /dev/video1.

 

by: marietto2008Posted on 2009-08-18 at 05:16:45ID: 25122351

xawtv says that there are some trouble with v4l-conf and then I've found this file on /etc/sane.d/ and I've edited like this :

/dev/video0
/dev/video1

and then I've tried to run xawtv again,but /dev/video1 is not detectedì,why ?

 

by: rindiPosted on 2009-08-18 at 06:35:47ID: 25123014

Have you checked the rights on /dev/video0 and /dev/video1 so it has read and executable rights for all?

 

by: marietto2008Posted on 2009-08-18 at 09:38:31ID: 25125062

I did : chmod +777 /dev/video0 and /dev/video1,but it said that I can't set this kind of permissions.

 

by: rindiPosted on 2009-08-18 at 09:43:04ID: 25125103

Do you have the exact error message?
