No Webcam in Skype

[Loceka]

Hello,

I have installed Skype following these steps https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager. ... &iId=31461 and, after a few failures, I managed to have it working with WineHQ 1.9.6 on debian jessie.

Yet, when I tried launching a video call, it said no webcam could be detected.
Indeed, when I check the Skype options, it says the same thing (no webcam detected).

I've tried reading about how to set it up in Wine but found very few answers and very contradictory ones.

From dmesg I found which USB device owned my webcam :

Code: Select all

[    1.700883] usb 7-6: Product: Laptop Integrated Webcam
[    4.444683] uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device Laptop Integrated Webcam (05a9:2640)
[    4.447110] input: Laptop Integrated Webcam as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb7/7-6/7-6:1.0/input/input9

and this is the result from lsusb and lsusb -t :

Code: Select all

Bus 007 Device 002: ID 05a9:2640 OmniVision Technologies, Inc. OV2640 Webcam

/:  Bus 07.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=ehci-pci/6p, 480M
    |__ Port 6: Dev 2, If 0, Class=Video, Driver=uvcvideo, 480M
    |__ Port 6: Dev 2, If 1, Class=Video, Driver=uvcvideo, 480M

I'm afraid I don't have much more information, mainly because I don't know where to start looking for.

I've tried creating symlink to ~/.wine/dosdevices/com1 from alternatively /dev/ttyS0, /dev/bus/usb/007/002 and /dev/video0 with no result.

Is there any way to achieve this ?

Yes I ran into this bug report.

So no solution as of now ?

At least I will stop trying, thank you
