vloopback kernel module won't compile with newer kernels (> 3.6.0) #86

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
I found updated source and forked it so I can make some "cosmetic" changes to 
the driver. 

https://github.com/TheOncomingStorm/v4l2loopback

In its current state it is named "Dummy video device" or something when you 
view it in Webcamstudio. I'm changing that to Webcamstudio Device and you have 
to "modprobe v4l2loopback" instead which I plan to change shortly. Otherwise it 
works exactly as the previous vloopback.

I had already applied a patch at revision 422...
It is in the update source tarball too: 
https://code.google.com/p/webcamstudio/downloads/detail?name=webcamstudio_0.61.t
ar.bz2

Could you please test it if it works?..  and if not... please give more info 
about the kernel you are trying, the error etc...

And soon we will probably move to v4l2loopback driver anyway ... but for now 
we'll stick to the modified by Patrick version... + the patches I've applied...

Well, I would test it but I found another v4l2loopback driver that had
already been patched and I used it instead. I did just get a new kernel
though so I can try to get the code you're referring to and see if it works
before I update the one I'm currently using.

The kernel module has been synced with the current v4l2loopback module + some 
fixes added too. It is available since r467. 
It's been tested up till kernel 3.8.6 and is working ok...
I will close this issue and if you find problems with the latest SVN kernel 
module, feel free to reopen the bug...
