Description Arniii 2024-04-15 20:03:43 UTC

I guess droidcam should depend on media-video/v4l2loopback . Because without installing media-video/v4l2loopback and `modprobe v4l2loopback` droidcam doesn't work.

droidam bundles its own version of v4l2loopback named v4l2loopback-dc. You should modprobe that module instead of the one from media-vide/v4l2loopback.
