 Posted: Thu Sep 30, 2021 9:23 pm Post subject: Blank output from webcam |
 |
|
When I try to use my webcam, the recording light comes on next to the camera but the output on screen is blank (black). Output from programs I've tried are below; I've also tried skypeforlinux (what I actually use the webcam with), but when I connect a video call, it crashes. I've tried looking up error messages, but haven't found anything useful yet, and I'm not sure which are actual errors that need to be resolved.
I'm fairly sure that when I first started building this system (about a month ago), it worked, but I've obviously changed something in between then and now, most likely to do with getting my hybrid graphics (Intel Iris Xe & Nvidia MX450) working, since it seems to be capturing fine but not displaying. Any help would be appreciated.

DarkMoon74,
I don't know if you noticed this error in your output: | Code: | Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_va_gl.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
|
When I did a google search for that library and gentoo, I got directed to this overlay: | Code: | [385] wjn-overlay (https://bitbucket.org/wjn/wjn-overlay)
|
I haven't tried it, and I don't have NVIDIA, so I don't know if this will work for you.
If you haven't used an overlay before, please be aware that you should mask every thing, and then unmask only what you need. For example: | Code: | $ cat /etc/portage/package.mask/stefantalpalaru
*/*::stefantalpalaru
$ cat /etc/portage/package.unmask/stefantalpalaru
app-emulation/vmware-modules::stefantalpalaru
app-emulation/vmware-workstation::stefantalpalaru

Hi larrys,
I did notice that in mplayer, but when I tried to look that up, it almost seemed like that was an info message rather than an error? Nevertheless, I tried emerging libva-vdpau-driver, which I was given to understand should provide that, along with vdpauinfo, but that didn't help. I'll have a look at that overlay and ebuild and see if that helps. |

The v4l2-ctl details do look ok, I was mostly wondering if a stray /dev/videoN device had been selected.
The messages from mplayer look like its struggling with the output devices - do the driver files its complaining about actually exist?
Also, I think you can confirm the webcam side is working by using ffmpeg to take a snapshot to a file:
| Code: |
$ ffmpeg -i /dev/video0 snapshot.jpg
|
Not too interested in the terminal output this produces, it only matters whether it produces a picture in the jpg file. Yes would mean the problem is with your screen driver setup. |

Information below; iHD_drv_video.so doesn't exist, but i965 does. For ffmpeg, it resulted in a blank image. I also tried with the two switches it mentioned; -frame gave the same output, but -update gave a "Unrecognized option 'update'" error; maybe it's positional and adding at the end doesn't work? Adding the pattern resulted in many snapshots; all were black as well. So I guess it's not the display, it's the camera. Thanks for the help in ruling that out.
Any ideas from that end? From what I understand, I should just need UVC support in the kernel, and it's there?

| I've also got the v4l use flag set globally in make.conf, so affects ffmpeg/gstreamer abilities. |

I've checked my kernel config; I didn't have the first two UVC options, but the rest were set. I've set those two, recompiled the kernel, and rebooted; still getting blank output.
And I also already had the v4l USE set globally. |

There's some recent updates about kernel config for webcams in gentoo wiki: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Webcam
I followed it, and now the integrated webcam of my laptop is working. |

DarkMoon74,
What errors do you get now?
Are you actually using the new kernel?
Look at the date/time in that's the build date/time of the running kernel.

Hi @NeddySeagoon,
Unfortunately, between this and a number of other issues I was having, I've decided to give Arch a try. On the plus side, I had issues with the web cam on that as well, but it's finally working, so maybe there was a kernel update that fixed this issue.
Cheers for getting back to me though, I do appreciate it. |
