Here is a little trick I use for getting webcams working in different linux programs :<div><br></div><div>- to get &#39;weird&#39; v4l2 cameras working with &#39;normal v4l2 expecting&#39; programs, you can do this:</div><div>
<br></div><div>LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so pdextended</div><div><br></div><div>this starts pdextended, but first overloads some v4l2 functions with the ones in that library, which help in format conversion etc.</div>
<div><br></div><div>- to get v4l2 support in programs that are using the v4l interface :</div><div><br></div><div>LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so pdextended</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>these tricks work with many many programs ;)</div>
