from this link you search your webcam but I remenber that there is...........

I have the same problem.
Camera working flawlessly in gnomemeeting but only produces pitch black in kopete. I would guess that it is some sort of IOCTL problem becaus all the gauges fort brightness/contrast/color is all in maximum left position regardless of what settings was used before. Kopete also have a nasty habit of crashing occationaly when I leave the webcam settings dialog.
Does anybody have a solutions for this (or similar) problems?

upgrade to 0.12 and see if your issues are fixed. lots of improvements have been made to the video code. (the beta that should be out in a few hours would be best to try)

Hi.
Now I have tried the new 0.12-beta2 releas, but the error still remains. Pitch black image from my camera both in local and remote end. I can see my buddies cams without any problem, but he/she can't see me. Just black.

I have a Philips Vesta Pro PCVC680K and using the free PWC-module version 10.0.11.
Any help would be apreceated.

Henrik

Hi

I too have had problems with Kopete working with my Logitech(Philips) Webcam Pro 4000. I am using the most recent free PWC modules and it works perfectly in Xawtv, with the exception on a "no overlay" error when staring xawtv, but it carries on and fires up with no issues and allows me to take snapshots and record video.

However in Kopete it detects the webcam fine but I just get a black screen in the configuration screen.

This would be really nice if I could get this up and running.

I would also like to throw my hat in the ring. I have the SPCA module install on my SUSE 10 laptop. i am using an Intel cs330 (supported) works in gqcam. but blank screen in kopete.

I am having the problem that my logitech quickcam express, the old oldie webcam, appears to make a passable color image on my side, but the recipients tell me that all they see is a milkly, very low contrast, gray scale image that is hard to see.

Darn! I was really hoping for this feature, I really need webcam capability because my wife is living overseas right now and I need to see her and she me.

Can somebody please help me, i have a kopete 0.11.1 under ubuntu.
I 've seen that many of you have problem to even see screen but i don't have that problem my problem is that in devise i see perfect with my Logitech Quckcam but can't make it work while chat.
Please help.
Nemanja.
