Re: [Ekiga-list] webcam trouble

[Sreenivas Gunturi <satyagunturi yahoo co in>]

I tried with 3.9.90.  Did a fresh download and install.  But it still does not work.  When I click on "view image from own camera" the built-in webcam flickers on but does not show any image.  I double-checked the video options.  My webcam is listed in it.  So it appears that ekiga does recoginize the webcam and is able to switch it on and off but is not able to display the image.

I tried with skype and it works just fine.  The webcam comes on, displays the image etc etc...

And, no, I did not have skype and ekiga running simultaneously.  So there ought to be no contention for the webcam.

totally flummoxed!

Sorry to answer so late.  If you are still interested to fix this issue,
please try with ekiga 3.9.90
(http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Windows_Users) and tell me if it works.

Best regards,
Eugen
