I had a similar problem under linux the other day, if that helps. I ended up setting the LD_PRELOAD environment variable to modify how skype gets linked at runtime. In bash: LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype Again that's on linux, so it's probably not relevant, or even if it is, the shared object file will be in a different location. Sorry I'm not of much help. Maybe someone else can do better. -Moduok- On 7/17/10, Yuri <yuri@rawbw.com> wrote: > I am trying to make webcam work with skype. webcamd-0.1.14 creates > functioning device /dev/video0 that works in mplayer and pwcview. > > Skype complained that some VIDIOCAP flag is missing.
