[kopete] Webcam settings - v0.11.50

I'm adding bug #117828 for this. If anyone knows a fix/workaround let me know so that I can close it.

Item #1: Kopete does not seem to remember the webcam settings.

Everytime I restart the program, the sliders are all the way to the left (giving me a black image), and the automatic brightness and color correction boxes reset to unchecked. I can adjust the sliders and everything works fine until my next reboot.. I'm using a Logitech Quickcam Express II w/ the SPCA5xx drivers.

Item #2: When adjusting the device sliders, they do not seem to take immediate effect.

After changes, the preview window in preferences is unchanged until I completely close the preferences dialog and reopen it to the device settings page. As such, you have to adjust the cam "blind". The only setting which seems to take immediate effect is the "Automatic Color Correction" setting.

Other than those minor annoyances, Kopete's really shaping up! It's much more stable than the last time I tried it (I've only had it crash once and can't re-create it). Now, it just needs to be able to send Yahoo webcam, like Gyach-E.

RE: [kopete] Webcam settings - v0.11.50

Hello i have the same problem

1st of all please excuse me for my english...

I have fixed it in my local kopete.

In the fact, kopete (0.11.50) does not save the video configuration yet.

And like you i have un PCTV card so when you close the kopete configuration it allways select the 1st video device ( /dev/video0)

To fix the problem i' ve fix the default video device number in the code (file :kopete/kopete/config/avdevice/avdeviceconfig.cpp) lign 70

original code :

mAVDeviceTabCtl->addTab(mPrfsVideoDevice, i18n("&Video"));
d = Kopete::AV::VideoDevicePool::self();
d->scanDevices();
d->open(0);


in the fact d->scanDevice(); return the list of video devices available on the system
and by default /dev/video0 is selected ( d->open(0); )

so if you want /dev/video1 ( it's my way )

i' ve change the lign 70 to :
d->open(1);

so when video is demanded /dev/video1 if demanded

hope this will help you

i give my avdeviceconfig.cpp if you are not about change it by yourself
