What can you do with linux-gspca-kmod

[adamk]

So I have a Creative Webcam Live! that works with graphics/spcaview. I also installed the linux-gspca-kmod port. When I load the gspca module, the camera is detected and I do get a /dev/video0 device. But, now, what can I do with it? mplayer doesn't seem to recognize it as an input device, nor does kopete. Are there any programs under FreeBSD that can make of /dev/video*

You could take a look at http://raaf.atspace.org/. There's a list of apps that support the pwcbsd driver, perhaps you can use it with your cam driver, too.

I did previously try mplayer, to no avail, but perhaps I'm not passing the right arguments. I'll have to give some of the other apps a try.

Well, I've struck out with vlc, mplayer, ekiga, and I also tried the pcwview application. No luck with any of them accessing /dev/video0 (though the device exists, they just error out). Oh well, back to spca5view :-)
