I'd like to add that this problem also affects Debian (Jessie) 32bit.
There were quite some kernel updates over the time without improvement.
And that it worked with the same web came before.

Also that it behaves a little different here than described by others:
Cheese comes up but all looks already grey in grey. I seem to be able
take a photo (count down and the "flash" can be seen) but then the
already mentioned error message "There was an error playing video from
webcam" shows up. And no photo materializes anywhere.

Otherwise the web cam works fine. lsusb says it's a
