If you try to use the webcam through MSN Messenger, you will just see a weird
image. The webcam works perfectly in Cheese, so the webcam is working fine.

I'm using Ubuntu 8.10 and Wine 1.1.9.

I think this lines are related:

Looks like this bug is related to:
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libv4l/+bug/260918

So we need to fix wine to make it work with the new changes.

  Camera does not work in ICU2. It is listed in ICU2 as UVC Camera (046d:0990)
(vfw) under settings/video and audio. Using Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid) and Wine 1.3.
Camera is OK and works with Skype which is from the desktop and not installed
in Wine, but the camera works. It is a Logitech 9000.

 ICU2 lists the camera as UVC Camera (046d:0990) but it doesn't initialize.
iSpQ 9.1 just doesn't recognize and camera at all. Use wine 1.3.1 and Ubuntu
10.04 (Lucid). Camera works with Skype.

 I guess it is a long slow process to get USB devices like webcams to work in
Linux. Still the cam does work with Cheese and native Skype. Love to know if
anyone is working on getting webcams to work with iSpQ or icuii.  iSpQ is from
Nanocorp  http://www.ispq.com/downloads and icuii is from cybration
http://www.ispq.com/downloads. I have accounts with both so can help trying to
enter my username and password in either one if that's any help. Thanks for
trying. Appreciate your efforts. I have Ubuntu 10.10 and Fedora fc 14 on
separate HDs. Use the latest wine version in both.                  Bob

as far as I can tell. Would appreciate an update of efforts to get webcams to

 AFAIK, icu2 is now multi-platform, linux, mac, and windows, via a web based
system I guess. I don't use it anymore so not sure if the webcams work. My
guess is it does, without wine.Just heard this from friends. Haven't tried it.
Webpage is video.icu2.com to get the multiplatform site. Anyone try it out?

iSpQ is version 9.2 or will be shortly. They are multi-platform also, using
windows and mac only. Their webpage is www.ispq.com. I still use it in win7
only. Haven't tried recently ( a few years ) to use wine and my Logitech 9000
webcam. If wine supports the webcam and ispq I will install it, and never go
back to windows. So I hope this bug stays open and others can comment on the
use of webcams and ispq and other video conferencing programs. Thanks.

I have found a simpler application to test, it's called FWink.

After selecting the webcam and pressing OK the program crashes in qcap. I'll
attach the file.

Still wondering if the webcams (specifically Logitech 9000) works with ispq 9.x
and wine 1.4 with Ubuntu v 12.04 or Linux Mint v 14. Thanks for the help.

Logitech webcam 9000 works perfectly with ispq9.x in win 7 and win xp and
the Mac too I believe. In Ubuntu 12.04 and Mint 14 with wine 1.4 it doesn't
work. Some users said they could see me and read some text but I can't see
users nor read see any text. The camera is great with Skype for Linux and is
fine with that in Mint and Ubuntu. Also works with cheese but that isn't a
video conferencing program I believe.  Hope some day the webcam will work in
Linux. Hate to use win 7 to chat with friends. Would love to stay in Linux and
use ispq9.x. BTW, I emailed tech support in ispq late last year re: supporting
Linux after they did it for the Mac. The reply was no, they have no interest in
Linux at this time and it would be too difficult to have techs work on it now.
Bummer.

MSN Messenger is now Skype, Yahoo Messenger crashes on login (#32695), iSpQ9
won't install due to MSI problems
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wine1.2/+bug/614546), so how do you
even test this?

Otherwise I've made changes that allow VLC on Wine to capture video from my
webcam, please retest with the latest Git or Wine version 1.4.2 when it comes
out.

I tested it before my patches, and Fwink didn't work. I actually just wrote a

I can test ispq9.x by installing it in wine 1.4.x or try 1.5.x. Will make a
clean install of either and try the .msi and report to you what results. Let me
know which wine version is best to try. I am a novice and probably not much
help other than simple testing as I mentioned above. Will try and follow simple
instructions you may have if I understand them. Sorry for not being much help
but I really appreciate every effort you guys make to get it to work. Hopefully
others do too. Thanks again.          Bob

[Bug 16147] Webcam doesn't work

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16147

--- Comment #35 from Damjan Jovanovic  2013-01-26 12:09:37 CST ---
Fwink creates a NullRenderer. It adds it to the filter graph. On the
CaptureGraphBuilder2, it calls RenderStream(), asking it to link the preview
pin to the the default renderer. Then it calls RenderStream() again, asking it
to link the output pin to the NullRenderer. Finally it adds the sample grabber
in front of the NullRenderer, allowing it to take photos.

Since the camera doesn't have a preview pin, CaptureGraphBuilder2 must support
the SmartTeeFilter which creates one by duplicating the output pin. Wine's
doesn't have that filter. Furthermore, Wine's CaptureGraphBuilder2 doesn't even
link the pins correctly. With my patch above, it at least links both to the
NullRenderer, allowing Fwink to take photos, but not show preview video (since
that needs the SmartTeeFilter).

Those that believe Fwink worked before must have been using native qcap?

Thanks for your comments (#35). Don't understand it but from a previous
comment I think it said to try and install ispq9.x with wine 1.4 or 1.4.2 when
available if not already so. If this is a good idea I will try it and report
what happens to you here if this is the correct place. Thanks.

Does the bug still occur with wine-5.12?
