@coreboot2 if you can supply me with the registry key or other location where web camera is called "Virtualbox Webcam"? If so I can see what I can do to help you out
@coreboot2 did you resolve this? If so can you share the registry key. It will speed up any implementation on my end =)
I took a first look (borrowed a webcam =)) at this issue, did not find an obvious way to fix this (besides modifying the source code). It's a bit sad that VBox needs to prepend everything with "VirtualBox". That being said I will give spend some more time on this next week.
Actually this ended up being more simple then I thought, so using VirtualBox 6.x, if you skip using the command line to attach the camera (I think the docs still states that you must...), anyway boot the VM and insert the Camera (if it's USB), it should show up in the host as the model without "Virtualbox".
However if you attach it using: "VBoxManage controlvm "
This has only been tested on Windows 7.
I think this have to conclude looking at webcam support for now. Please note that I have not looked at getting the webcam to actually work (capturing images etc)
I want to use the webcam, but the traditional usb method does not work. I have to use the webcam passthrough method. https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=74112
After use this, the webcam's name is named VirtualBox Webcam...
Seems I should consider the patching VirtualBox approach... Is threre any easy to use scripts like this?
