OBS Virtual Cam doesn't activate (Ubuntu 20.04) #404

Open Strecx opened 3 years ago

Strecx commented 3 years ago

I installed v4l2loopback-dkms in order to add the Virtual cam option to obs. But when I try to activate the virtual cam it doesn't actually activate. Captura de pantalla de 2021-02-19 07-50-04 Captura de pantalla de 2021-02-19 07-50-13 Captura de pantalla de 2021-02-19 07-50-23 I already reported this bug in OBS Linux support, but they told me to report the bug here.

This is what happens to me when trying to load the v4l2loopback module Captura de pantalla de 2021-02-18 07-30-18

umlaeute commented 3 years ago

please paste error messages instead of screenshots of them.

the screenshot adds zero information and cannot be searched. on my mobile github client it doesn't show at all. such screenshots are therefore discouraged (that's why this is explicitly mentioned in the template form).

apart from that: the template that opens for every new issue asks for a number of specific things to help triage any problem, like your system, kernel and module version.

it seems I (or you) missed those questions.

finally: please paste the output of dmesg when trying to load the module (as text).

umlaeute commented 3 years ago

ah, I now see there's a bit of info in the subject. it doesn't tell me the kernel though (and I'm lazy enough to ask you to look this up yourself).

Strecx commented 3 years ago

modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'v4l2loopback': Operation not permitted

umlaeute commented 3 years ago

thanks for the text-output. you might want to replace the image in https://github.com/umlaeute/v4l2loopback/issues/404#issuecomment-782124974, though

however

  1. there's still

    it doesn't tell me the kernel though (and I'm lazy enough to ask you to look this up yourself).

  2. and speaking of which: I don't know which version of v4l2loopback is buried in the v4l2loopback-dkms packge of Ubuntu-20.04. please specify

  3. and finally:

    finally: please paste the output of dmesg when trying to load the module (as text).

umlaeute commented 3 years ago

btw, with "the output of dmesg" I really meant: the relevant output of dmesg ( the lines that are added when you try to modprobe the module).

Hi,

First, thanks a lot for your great job.

I am facing a very similar issue.

My configuration : Ubuntu 18.04 LTS - Kernel 5.4.0-70-generic

I have installed OBS 26.1.1 and I want to use the vitual cam option.

Therefore, I have installed v4l2loopback-dkms :

DKMS: install completed.

At this stage, OBS displays the virtual cam button. When pressing the "start virtual cam" button, I am prompted to enter the admin password, but then, nothing happens (and vitual cam is not started).

When trying to run v4l2loopback in terminal using the following command : 

$ sudo modprobe v4l2loopback video_nr=10 card_label="OBS Video Source" exclusive_caps=1
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'v4l2loopback': Bad address

Here is the dmesg output :

@ewennedelec please try a newer version of v4l2loopback.

There are no external dependencies of v4l2loopback, so you should be able to install the packages from the newer releases without any problems (just download the .deb files manually and install them).

ewennedelec commented 3 years ago

Hi,

Thanks a lot for your very appreciated support. I could download and install the deb file of the v4l2loopback-0.12.5 version.

I now get a "Start vitual cam" button on OBS working, which creates an OBS Virtual Camera device (so things are already better).

v4l2-ctl --list-devices gives me the following output :

" OBS Virtual Camera (platform:v4l2loopback-000): /dev/video2

Chicony USB 2.0 Camera: Chicony (usb-0000:00:14.0-10): /dev/video0 /dev/video1 "

But I do not get any output from this device.

Trying with Guvcview, I get the following message : " Guvcview error Could not start a video stream in the device " Trying with Jitsi meet, the OBS device is not proposed within the list.

Another strange symptom is that my build-in webcam is not accessible anymore after having hit the Start Virtual Cam button once (it's OK before).

champost commented 3 years ago

@umlaeute : Excellent suggestion to use the .deb files and most importantly the mention of "no external dependencies". I was thus able to get v4l2loopback-0.12.5 running on Bionic Beaver (18.04 LTS) using the Groovy (20.10) .deb packages !

If anyone is wondering from where exactly to download the "latest" v4l2loopback 0.12.5 .deb packages, here is a list of all the download mirrors : https://packages.ubuntu.com/groovy/all/v4l2loopback-dkms/download

bmn001 commented 3 years ago

Ubuntu 20.04 comes with 0.12.5-1ubuntu1. That version seems to exhibit this behavior.

If you "downgrade" to 0.12.5-1, linked in the previous comment, the problem is gone.

umlaeute commented 3 years ago

Then it is a problem with Ubuntu specific modifications (see the version number), and you should report the problem there.

ccoenen commented 3 years ago

in my case, the virtual camera from OBS only works, if I unload the module (rmmod) and let obs load it itself (start virtual camrea button will ask for sudo password). I have not yet had the time to dig into this further, or if it is the exact same issue, though.

[17091.427297] video10: VIDIOC_QUERYCAP: driver=v4l2 loopback, card=OBS Video Source, bus=platform:v4l2loopback-000, version=0x00050f07, capabilities=0x85200000, device_caps=0x05200000
[17091.427304] video10: VIDIOC_G_FMT: error -22: type=vid-out, width=4294966992, height=4294967295, pixelformat=.... little-endian (0x00000000), field=any, bytesperline=1401200640, sizeimage=4288352138, colorspace=-744513136, flags=0xfffffed0, ycbcr_enc=0, quantization=0, xfer_func=0

As indicated in the capabilities field returned from the VIDIOC_QUERYCAP call, 0x85200000 means no V4L2_CAP_VIDEO_CAPTURE(0x01) neither V4L2_CAP_VIDEO_OUTPUT(0x02) is set. And since it reports neither, kernel check_fmt in drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-ioctl.c will evaluate variable is_vid to false, and therefore returns -EINVAL at the next VIDIOC_G_FMT call with type=V4L2_BUF_TYPE_VIDEO_OUTPUT.

This is a direct result of https://github.com/umlaeute/v4l2loopback/commit/9a77eb6 merged in https://github.com/umlaeute/v4l2loopback/pull/415.

This behavior is actually a bug in the upstream v4l2loopback source, function v4l2_loopback_write:

/* there's at least one writer, so don'stop announcing output capabilities */
dev->ready_for_output = 0;

Which set dev->ready_for_output to zero without correcting its dev->type.

To resolve this, it involves the designed behavior of read/writing a fd and their effects on dev->type. Again, in kernel V4L2 drivers that utilize videobuf2 framework (and it should be), a V4L2 fd cannot be both capturing and outputting using streaming or file I/O. The definition of the right behaviors for v4l2loopback will define how this issue should be solved, and that's also the ultimate problem I want to address in #359.

457 targets similar thing. Multiple simultaneous streaming (2 reads, 2 writes, read & write) is not allowed in a formal Linux V4L2 driver. And to correctly set the right states for this issue, I think this must be enforced to avoid creating further troubles.

in my case, the virtual camera from OBS only works, if I unload the module (rmmod) and let obs load it itself (start virtual camrea button will ask for sudo password). I have not yet had the time to dig into this further, or if it is the exact same issue, though.

In my case the module was not loaded at all. Loading it (modprobe v4l2loopback) was enough to get the virtual camera working in OBS. Thanks for your comment @ccoenen, otherwise I probably wouldn't have thought to try this.

Strangely enough, I've only experienced this issue just recently after upgrading my PC and moving to Jammy. This hasn't happened to me while I was using the OBS virtual camera in Focal. I could toggle it on and off repeatedly without any problems. It does ask for sudo on the first activation though.

Is this still an issue? Running Ubuntu 22.04, OBS 30.2.2, v4l2loopback (latest), I can start and stop a Virtual Camera no problem. I can watch the Virtual Camera with ffplay /dev/video2.
