Hi! After Olli successfully tested the version for 8 with a Logitech C210 camera and the versions of skype and webcamd in ports [1] I guess it's time to post the patches in public: http://people.freebsd.org/~nox/dvb/linux-dvb-v4l2-8-test.patch (for 8) http://people.freebsd.org/~nox/dvb/linux-dvb-v4l2-test.patch (for head, untested) These also contain my previously posted Linuxolator dvb patches that I still need to turn into a seperate kld because I got no response from the Linux guy wrt the header file license (the Linux dvb headers are lgpl2), so atm they are only for testing. Note: At least the version of skype in ports still won't work with all cameras supported by webcamd because skype wants yuv 4:2:0 pixel format and some webcams only support jpeg (like a gspca zc3xx one I dug up here), maybe the newer skype version that Andriy got working, http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-multimedia/2011-February/011696.html will have support for such cameras, or if not maybe a solution like this Linux post linked, http://lists.mandriva.com/bugs/2009-03/msg03382.php could be ported (unfortunately the main posting, http://forum.mandriva.com/viewtopic.php?t=100986 is in french); gstfakevideo that he used seems to be here: https://code.google.com/p/gstfakevideo/source/checkout I'll leave porting that to others as I don't really use skype myself here, I just thought I could add some v4l2 support to my Linuxolator patches. :) Enjoy! Juergen [1] He didn't get the cam's internal mic working yet but that of course has nothing to do with my Linuxolator patches. (see other thread.)home | help
