No video from webcam on Fedora 20. #578

Freeseer couldn't record any video, and the preview screen during recording was black (ie. no video signal from the webcam at all).

Resolved this issue by installing ucview and adding an entry for it under /etc/modprobe.d as per the instructions here: https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/7456/my-webcam-does-not-work/

This isn't a Freeseer problem. This is a driver setup issue if your webcam is not correctly configured, then Freeseer is not able to use it.

Could we make this more user friendly by detecting that there is no feed and saying the cam is not correctly configured? That way the user isn't left wondering what the issue is.

We don't have a notification system yet though, but a popup could be good enough for now.
