Hello. I recently installed v4l2loopback from https://github.com/umlaeute/v4l2loopback . tested the device, it is visible via gstreamer-properties but not with cheese. did try with webcamstudio too and it's buildin virtual loop device, same thing, different Ubuntu kernels, same thing, also did try to run cheese with the option "LD_PRELOAD="/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libv4l/v4l1compat.so" cheese" but no luck, im running out of ideas hmm. thanks in advance.
I have no experience with v4l2loopback, and it is not likely that I will try it, as it is an out-of-tree kernel module.
Cheese detects the video devices on the system with udev, and looks only at devices in the "video4linux" subsystem. You can test whether Cheese detects the device by running tests/test-cheese-test-monitor (you will need to build Cheese yourself, as it is not installed by default) and watching for output in the terminal. If the device is not detected, the device monitor code is in libcheese/cheese-camera-device-monitor.c, but the bug is probably in v4l2loopback and not Cheese.
Good luck! -- http://amigadave.com/
