Vsee - Webcam does not work

Post by ubuwine »

Hi!
I could quite easily install vsee with wine-staging (wine 1.7.44) on Ubuntu 14.04 (http://www.webupd8.org/2015/06/get-new- ... -wine.html). Audio and chatting seems to work, but the integrated HD webcam would not work. In the vsee settings the device Integrated_Webcam_HD is recognized, but test frame only says "connecting".

I tried following in winecfg (started from the terminal) without success:
- Switch to Windows 7
- Libraries: Add devenum to the DLL overrides

And in regedit:
HKEYCURRENTUSER/Software/Microsoft and delete ActiveMovie
(According to an old post: http://wiki.winehq.org/MSN_Messenger_we ... t=(webcam))

Maybe it is related to this bug, although an old one:

Thanks for any help in advance! :D

Does the webcam work in native apps? If not, it won't work in Wine, either. If it does, the problem may well be the bug you linked to.

Wine-staging isn't supported here, so please retest in plain Wine.

Thanks for the quick response! What do you mean with native apps? E.g. skype running in Ubuntu?
The webcam works with e.g. skype on Ubuntu Linux.
I have installed vsee with wine & winetricks last year and I had the same issue.

Post terminal output from plain Wine (not wine-staging).
