Description Matt Jolly gentoo-dev 2024-07-09 03:41:07 UTC
I am unable to have media-video/webcamoid detect any attached cameras.

There are no relevant logs, and the 'Video' pane shows 'No cameras found'.

Other applications such as kde-apps/kamoso detect the camera (and udev successfully sets up /dev/video0).

I suspect that the software is just broken but with many other options in-tree I'm not inclined to debug further.

Reproducible: Always

    media-video/webcamoid: Sanitise and add many, many IUSE
    
    Add IUSE aom, faac, fdk-aac, lame, libusb, mp4, opus, rav1e, screencast,
      svt-av1, vlc, vorbis, vpx, X, x264
    Add missing media-libs/alsa-lib for IUSE alsa
    Better describe IUSE libuvc (at all)
    Drop no-op IUSE oss
    Drop IUSE v4lutils (duplicates v4l without good explanation)
    Drop IUSE videoeffects (no deps)
    Merge IUSE qtaudio and qtcamera into qtmedia (same dep, prior use)
    Drop puzzling use of RESTRICT="mirror" in live ebuild switch
    Sort IUSE
    Fix stray tab in DEPENDs
    Wire up IUSE portaudio (at all)
