Xbox webcam tutorial
Hi, I am having a few problems with this tutorial. I have followed it to the letter, but when I try and launch "camsource" it reports this error:-
unable to open /dev/video0 (No such device)
I am new to Linux, but I thought I would take a look in dev to see if there was a file/folder called video0 and there was not.
I checked out the link to the logitech driver in your tutorial and it said this:-
How did you create video0? should the emerge camsource & emerge qce-ga have created them for me?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

unable to open /dev/video0 (No such device)
I am new to Linux, but I thought I would take a look in dev to see if there was a file/folder called video0 and there was not.
I checked out the link to the logitech driver in your tutorial and it said this:-
I tried that and it created some files called video0 through video16, but when I rebooted and run camsource again it still reported the same error.Devices Configuration
Video4linux use the /dev/video* files, and the driver need one per camera.
ls -lad /dev/video* # produce a list of the video devices
If the video devices do not exist, you can create them with this shell script:
su
cd /dev
for ii in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 ; do
mknod video$ii c 81 $ii # char-major-81-[0-16]
chown root.root video$ii # owned by root
chmod 600 video$ii # read/writable by root only
done
The important part is to make the proper special character files with the right major and minor numbers.
How did you create video0? should the emerge camsource & emerge qce-ga have created them for me?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I just tried the tutorial and I am having exactly the same problem as xboxgeek. Get the error message:
Unable to open /dev/video0 (No such file or directory)
Failed to open device for <camdev name="default">
Like xboxgeek, I find no such video0 file/folder in the /dev directory. How did you get the correct video0 file? I am using the Logitech Quickcam Pro 4000 usb camera. Thanks

This is an old topic, but I thought I would let those who are interested know that it is possible to run a webcam on the xbox.
I simply followed that tutorial that has been posted a million times, and it worked on the first try.
You can check it here, it streams: http://67.8.53.175/test.html
Pretty cool.
