The most recent rolling upgrade moved ffmeg to version 7, which does not ship libswscale.so.7 anymore. This makes droidcam not start anymore when this package was installed before the release. Solution: Reinstall the droidcam package to force a rebuild.

Maybe the version of the package can be bumped to force a rebuild for all users?

The sha256sum of the release sources do not match what is in the PKGBUILD.

Also, the repository seems to have moved to https://github.com/dev47apps/droidcam-linux-client.

Please add this fix to PKGBUILD

The patch for supporting kernel 6.8 has been patched to upstream master. please update the PKGBUILD accordingly.

undg commented on 2024-03-22 10:05 (UTC)

Until patch for kernel 6.8 will be released by v4l2loopback team, I've switched to v4l2loopback-dkms-git (AUR). This solves problem of compilation.

Hi, i did this way

Hi, this won't compile with kernel 6.8

Someone wrote a patch to get it going https://github.com/dev47apps/droidcam/issues/271

I did this on my local build but need to lookup how to wget the patch in the PKGBUILD.

HurricanePootis commented on 2024-02-18 02:00 (UTC)

Hey, why does this package make the devault v4l2loopback camera 480p? Most phones now a days are 1080p.
