I was able to create /dev/video0 with multimedia/webcamd and multimedia/cuse4bsd-kmod and use it with multimedia/mplayer. With pidgin one can choose between 3 input-plugin options: - "Default" - "Test Input" - "Video4Linux" With "Test Input" I'm able to initiate a video-chat through jabber/xmpp/jingle and I can get a video stream of my opponents webcam. With "Video4Linux" the video-chat-UI crashes while being created. If I remember correctly 'pidgin -d' reported that there was a gstreamer-error. I will provide more details on this error, as soon as I can test it again ... >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
