[Bug 1465264] [NEW] Cheese And Skype Do Not Find Virtual Camera

 

Public bug reported:

$ lsmod | grep webcamstudio
webcamstudio           36864  3 
videodev              155648  8 webcamstudio,v4l2loopback,au0828,v4l2_common

$ ls -la /dev/video*
crw-rw----+ 1 root video 81, 0 Jun 15 06:24 /dev/video0
crw-rw----+ 1 root video 81, 1 Jun 15 06:24 /dev/video1
crw-rw----+ 1 root video 81, 2 Jun 15 06:48 /dev/video2

Use gstreamer to send sample video to /dev/video0
$ gst-launch-0.10 ximagesrc use-damage=0 ! ffmpegcolorspace ! "video/x-raw-yuv,format=(fourcc)YUY2" ! v4l2sink device=/dev/video0

$ sudo webcamstudio
"Detected Video Devices"
  WSVideoDevice (0x0000) (0)
"Output"
 "WebcamStudio Virtual Cam"
   "Pixel Format": RGB24
   "Dummy video device (0x0000) (2)" //from "$ sudo modprobe v4l2loopback" which was done second
   "WSVideoDevice (0x0001) (1)" //from "$ sudo modprobe webcamstudio devices=2" which was done first

Open Cheese
  "No device found"
Skype behaves the same way.
WebcamStudio not only finds the input device, but also lists both output devices that are of the modules "webcamstudio" and "v4l2loopback"

Let me know if there is a more appropriate package that this "bug"
should be submitted to.
