Description borius 2014-11-01 09:11:35 UTC

try to capture video from a USB camera but it won't work. I installed webcamd, ffmpeg24, pwcview. The pwcview successfully got picture from the USB camera but ffmpeg can't do it.

Hi,
The problem is that the following MMAP constant inside webcamd is too small:
kernel/linux_struct.h:#define   LINUX_VMA_MAX 16
Change it to 128, and ffmpeg will work. It simply runs out of mmap slots.
I'm planning a webcamd update.

Comment 6 pg 2014-11-05 17:25:56 UTC

Hi,
I apply ports from svn://svn.turbocat.net/i4b/trunk/ports and after that ffmpeg can't build:

===>   FreeBSD 10 autotools fix applied to /var/fs/build/usr/ports/multimedia/ffmpeg/work/ffmpeg-2.3.5/configure
ERROR: libv4l2 not found

Is there any patch for ffmpeg24 which needs review?
If not, could we close this bug and take care of the v4l issue?
Please let me know, thanks!
