EasyCam !

[Anbreizh]

Hi,
To start, please excuses me for my English of low level. I wanted to make you by script which I dev on the forum of the French-speaking community. This script makes it possible to install the drivers for webcam thanks to a graphic interface. It is compatible for the moment with the drivers according to: Spca, Ov511, Pwc, Qce and drivers for Eyes Toys. It functions thanks to the autodetection of good the drivers has to use thanks to the ID of the webcam. The EasyCam project is rather recent and by consequance the list of the webcam autodetec is rather weak but it does not hold that the list by fournisant me your ID of webcam has you to increase it if it is not autodetec.

News !

First of all, I would like to thank you for your great job. It will really save me off the horrible work to make my cam work.

My cam is Mustek Wcam300A. It works now, but only with gnomemeeting, because gnomemeeting has such setting of changing cams and I can set my cam over another option of "Unknown/Generic". Unluckily, Camorama or gqcam or whatever doesnt have such setting and whenever I start these apps, the default cam is always that "Unknown/Generic", which surely doesnt work! Do you or somebody know how to do some configurations in camorama or somewhere in Ubuntu to set my cam as the default cam whenever the apps get started?

Thans in advance!

Hi,

Can you try in terminal : "camorama -d /dev/video1" ?

Hi All,
I've got the same problem, or hassle- with ever. I've imput your code:
"Could not connect to video device(/dev/video1). Please Check connection.
I'm looking right at the connection~ it's good.
My cam is listed in my 'Device Manager'- with it name too! It's intel Pro Share WebCam, and in the 'Advanced' tab, all is filled in.
Any help would be a great help!!

# camorama -d /dev/video1
(camorama:10941): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session mana ger:

I have a Vimicro web cam.
