A few basic patches that enable webcam support in the net-im/kopete port. It adds a dependancy on multimedia/v4l_compat. Perhaps there should be a RUN_DEPEND on multimedia/pwcbsd too. I'm not sure. Are there other Video4Linux compatbile webcam drivers in the port tree? If not, then I'm thinking the RUN_DEPEND on multimedia/pwcbsd should be added. How-To-Repeat: I tested with a Logitech QuickCam Pro 4000. Actually, I've only tested in the configuration window. I haven't verified that the feed makes it across the network.
Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-ports-bugs->kde Over to maintainer (via the GNATS Auto Assign Tool)
Dear port maintainer, I have used the patches (they were outdated) provided in PR ports/117960 to create port compliant patches for the current kopete port (kdenetwork-kopete-0.12.8). I have verified that the port compiles and installs clean with the 3 additional patch files in the files-directory. kopete now recognizes a webcam with pwcbsd driver correctly. (pwcbsd-1.4.1_1) The webcam (in my case a Logitech Quickcam 4000 Pro) shows up in kopete configuration dialog. In addition I have veryfied the stream makes it through the internet, and you can have a bidirectional webcam chat with another msn client. Please note that I had to forward the needed ports on my router to make it work. Those were: TCP: 1863,6891-6900,6901 UDP: 1863,5190,6901 I have attached the three patches. In addition I have attached a patch for the change to the Makefile the original PR also suggested. It is adding the build dependencies BUILD_DEPENDS=${LOCALBASE}/include/linux/videodev.h:${PORTSDIR}/multimedia/v4l_compat KNOWN PROBLEM: The configuration section for the webcam does store all options permanently except the whiteness. This results in a quite dark picture when the value goes back to zero. This is a minor issue, because the setting can be changed once the webcam is on (during a conversation) and is stored as long as the webcam is on. Please contact me if there are any open questions concerning this topic. Sincerely yours, Tino Engel
