Description Jörg C. Frings-Fürst 2008-06-29 20:36:35 UTC

Version:           0.50.1 (using 4.0.4 (KDE 4.0.4 >= 20080505) "release 15.1", compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.25.5-1.1-default

I use a Philips SPC900NC Webcam. With camorama it works fine. In Kopete-Setup the Priview is blank. If the cam was connectet the device has the correct name.

Do you see error messages when you run Kopete from the console?

Comment 2 Matt Rogers 2008-06-30 00:15:25 UTC

bug reporters do not need to add themselves to the CC list for the bug. :)

Comment 3 Jörg C. Frings-Fürst 2008-06-30 00:32:11 UTC

Hallo Bram,

yes. First a lot of "QDateTime::fromString: Parameter out of range" and then:

kopete(15014)/libkopete Kopete::PluginManager::loadPluginInternal: Unable to find a plugin named ' "" '!

Make libv4l mandatory on Linux

Too many devices are not working properly without it.
See discussion on the kopete-devel-mailinglist (Jan/Feb 2010).

After taking a look at the drivers code, I'm pretty sure that this bug is fixed now that libv4l is mandatory.
Please reopen if you still encounter problems on KDE>=4.4.1.
