Philips SPC520NC Webcam Compatability?

[peternsomerset]

Hi,
I am running Fedora 13 (still) and zn 1.24.2.
I have managed to get a Fosscam F18905W working OK. So I assume I have the configs OK ( I increased the kernel memory to do this).
I have the above camera which I can see on /dev/video0 using "Cheese", but in zm the source stays red and is not detected.

Before reading some more can someone confirm this camers will work as it uses the uvcvideo driver?

FWIW it shows up as:

Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0471:0334 Philips (or NXP) SPC 520/525NC PC Camera

I have spent quite a bit of time trying to get it to work but to mave not managed it yet!
I will set it to debug but thought I would rule out the camera first before proceeding.

Thanks

Peter H

Thats what I get by removing the log then starting zm.

Can I assume the this camera will not work with the camera?

Thanks

Might not be much help but have a look at this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-nIUgB35OQ
Shows how to use uvcstreamer to get a usb camera to work

[jacknunyo]

uvcstreamer has been replaced by mjpg_streamer, but yeah that's the trick with the uvc linux driver cams. I've had mixed success, one worked fine with mjpg-streamer, the other zm didnt like at all, complained of errors in the video stream.
Good luck!
