@TecMunky: Try the solution from @montefuscolo. It worked for me. There are no errors what so ever now. Thanks @montefuscolo!

@tomvigl - I got the same error @androide7461 got when executing the "modprobe" command -- "modprobe: FATAL: Module v4l2loopback_dc not found in directory /lib/modules/5.5.13-1-MANJARO"

what now?

@android7461 - that is not what I meant - but I don't use yay. I simply deleted the entire droidcam directory, then extracted the snapshot again, edited the build file, then executed the make command.

Also, I did not get any errors during installation. My error came when I executed the modprobe command.

I had to modify this line on Manjaro Linux, running kernel 5.4

MODPATH="/usr/lib/modules/extramodules-$(uname -r | sed 's/.[0-9]\+-[0-9]\+//')"

@TecMunky I deleted my cache with "yay -Sc" and reinstalled with "yay --editmenu -S droidcam". I hope this was the way you meant. But now I get this error when I'm installing it: "insmod: ERROR: could not insert module /lib/modules/5.5.13-1-MANJARO/extramodules/v4l2loopback_dc.ko.gz: Unknown symbol in module error: command failed to execute correctly" It's installed nonetheless. But when I try to open it I get the same error as TecMunky. Then I checked if the module is loaded like tomvigl said with: "lsmod | grep v4l2loopback_dc". It returns nothing, so I guess it's not loaded. After that I write: "modprobe v4l2loopback_dc" and get this error: "modprobe: FATAL: Module v4l2loopback_dc not found in directory /lib/modules/5.5.13-1-MANJARO". Which makes kind of sense because I think it wasn't installed properly.

You have to check if the module is loaded: lsmod | grep v4l2loopback_dc If not - add the module with: modprobe v4l2loopback_dc

tomvigl: That worked for me. -- THANKS

androide7461: first you have to delete the extracted directory, then extract the snapshot again --> THEN modify line 58 to use "readlink -f"

But now, I need to learn how to use it ...

When I start the droidcam client I get a popup saying "Device not found (/dev/video[0-]). Did you install it?"

Check if the right linux-header is installed: pamac search linux-headers | grep $(uname -r | cut -d "-" -f 1,2)

If there is nothing like [Installed] you have to install it: pamac install linux[0-9][0-9]-headers

@AwesomeHaircut I had already earlier mentioned that I downgraded to the old LTS kernel. Still nothing of the mentioned here works. Still am waiting on a CLEAR answer about how and where to add this makepkg -si

Exact location and short tut, please, and I am okay trying it again.

androide7461 commented on 2020-04-01 14:49 (UTC)

I changed my pkgbuild as you said but it didn't work for me :(
