No Images/Video with Creative Live Cam

Post by eldwist »

Hello to all,
I've just installed ZM but I'm not able to see any images.
I've read the wiki, manual etc, but I'm not able to fix the problem.

I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 with ZM 1.23.x
Installation went fine.

Here is the lsusb result :

Code: Select all

Bus 002 Device 005: ID 0a5c:2101 Broadcom Corp. 
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 041e:4064 Creative Technology, Ltd
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 046d:c044 Logitech, Inc. 
The WebCam is the Creative Live Cam , and works fine with VLC, Skype & Cheese.

Here is the zmu -q -d /dev/video0 -v results :
