Hi! I now have finshed seperating the dvb part of the patches out into a port: http://people.freebsd.org/~nox/dvb/linux_dvbwrapper-kmod.shar and made new src patches that now contain the v4l2 bits only: http://people.freebsd.org/~nox/dvb/linux-v4l2-8-test.patch (for 8, this is what I tested) http://people.freebsd.org/~nox/dvb/linux-v4l2-test.patch (for head, untested) The only outstanding issues I now know of are, a) netchild suggested I try an older videodev2.h from Linux 2.6.17, I'm not sure that's necessary but mainly I want to know more about the second issue first before trying it: b) Video doesn't work for me with the latest skype beta on 8/amd64 and a gspca camera that needs the Linux libv4l, http://download.skype.com/linux/skype_static-2.2.0.25.tar.bz2 kwm got it working on head/i386 with a camera that doesn't need libv4l (iirc) and now I'd like to know for who of you it works or doesn't and on which FreeBSD version/arch and whether your camera needs libv4l, so please test! :) Posts about getting audio working with newer skype versions: (tho probably not necessary for testing video only) http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-multimedia/2011-April/011935.html http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-multimedia/2011-April/011982.html As mentioned there, I did get video (and audio) working with the previous skype version that's still available here: http://download.skype.com/linux/skype_static-2.1.0.81.tar.bz2 and I extracted both downloaded tarballs below my homedir and ran: LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so ./skype_static-2.2.0.25/skype --resources=$PWD/skype_static-2.2.0.25 resp. for the previous version: LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so ./skype_static-2.1.0.81/skype --resources=$PWD/skype_static-2.1.0.81 Thanx! :) Juergen
