Unable to use the gopro as a webcam even if it seems to be detected on my linux #7

Emidomenge commented 3 years ago

First of all, well done for this repo, this is awesome :)

I'm close to make things work on my computer but I'm still facing an issue.

So I followed readme steps: sudo su -c "bash <(wget -qO- https://cutt.ly/PjNkrzq)" root

then I installed the dependency: sudo apt install ffmpeg v4l2loopback-dkms

Plug the gopro on my computer

And run the command sudo gopro webcam On the GoPro screen, I can successfully see that it's in webcam mode.

Then I run vlc, which seems to detect the gopro but I have a black screen :(

I also tried a google meet, to see if it's showing the gopro but it is not detected.

Tell me if I can give any details to investigate my issue.

I'm using: Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS GoPro 9, latest updated version GoPro (without battery) + Computer plugged with type C wire.

Here some logs:

sudo gopro webcam -p enx -n -a

I'd join to Emilien. The repo is fantastic and seems the webcam mode is working, but not. I'm using Gopro Hero 8 with the latest update, battery inserted, USB-C connected. Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS And got the same output as above.

Neither Cheese webcam utility see my camera nor Zoom.

In some cases ffmpeg isn't starting properly. Judging by the output from the post this looks very much like it. I haven't figured out why that is and how to reliably circumvent this, but restarting the script until you see something after the 

  libpostproc    55.  5.100 / 55.  5.100

for me it's something like: Stream #0:0 -> #0:0 (h264 (native) -> rawvideo (native))

I had this issue and it turned out it was the firewall blocking it for me because it was on the public zone by default

NewoIsTaken commented 3 years ago

@Emidomenge and @bartfaimate, does it work when your firewall is off?
