Test works but apps only have black output #52

Hey guys. I've had the drivers work just fine for me in the past. I haven't used the webcam much so I'm not sure when exactly the issue started.

Currently, running test.sh will open a window with a live camera stream. Everything works great. However, applications which worked in the past (Discord, Firefox, Chromium, etc) all find the camera but only show a black screen.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling so far, but not too much more.

I suspect this is something related to v4l2 virtual camera, but I honestly don't have a clue as to where to start debugging it.

Any help would be appreciated!

Which kernel version are you running on? As described in issue #40 , it is currently not working on kernel versions 6.6.x. On kernel versions 6.5.x please make sure to follow the instructions Solving error WARNING: erroneous pipeline: no element "icamerasrc" in the README.

I had the same issue on 6.5.x and it was due to the YUY2 issue (which is solved by running sh install.sh -a).

Commands which helped me figure it out:

systemctl status v4l2-relayd.service
gst-inspect-1.0 -b

Hey, thanks for getting back to me. I'll provide more specific info I guess. This was back on kernel 6.5.x but 6.6.x broke it conclusively.

When running ./test.sh I would not get any errors. It would make the window and show me live video just fine. The only issue would be in all other apps where I would only be getting a black output (tried reinstalling using -a flag but it didn't help.

I'll try downgrading and reproducing it later this week and let you guys know if I can get it to work.

Thanks!

Same here, test.sh works but no black screen on all other applications. Running as root does not seem to be the problem. I'm running Endeavour with kernel 6.6.4.
