Hello,

Which video interface to use ?
- Video4Linux : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video4Linux ?
I'm asking because according to the answer perhaps some one could help the implementation.

Thanks for Luciole, it's a nice software.

yes the videointerace used is Video4Linux.

All help is welcome ;-)

Hi,
I add a look on source code and seen that V4L is in the run but with
other things like audio, new gui... So many // new features are hard
to deliver in one dev line. Perhaps you can only merge V4L in a new
beta release. What ever, i'll continue to read the code and learn
python... Cheers

Hi
actually V4L is used through gstreamer, with the v4l2src plugin :
http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/gst-plugins-good-plugins/html/gst-plugins-good-plugins-v4l2src.html

If you have questions on luciole code. Feel free to ask questions.

Nico

Hey lia (daigle-liana) said on 2011-07-08: #1
I am using UbuntuStudio 11.04

Try this ..it works for me

Steps:
1. Launch Terminal.
2. Copy and paste the following command and press Enter:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nico-inattendu/ppa

PS. sudo is a command to do things as the system administrator (super
user) role. add-apt-repository is a command Ubuntu provided to add a
PPA automatically. ppa:username/packagechannel means that PPA is
hosted by username (nico-inattendu) and named as packagechannel (ppa).

Terminal will prompt for your password, type your password. It won't
show anything while you are typing the password, that's normal.

3. Copy and paste the following command and press Enter:
sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install luciole

Note: apt-get is a advanced package-management tool comes from Debian
(the mother distribution which Ubuntu derives from). "update" means
that it will check the package repository for updates. "install" means
it will install or upgrade a package.

Then Ubuntu will add the official PPA for you and download and install
the latest version they released.

This is my blog on how to get Luciole working. It might be able to enable your webcam please check out my blog
