i've follow your instruction but i can't get droidcam to works...when i try to modprobe v4l2loopback_dc i get the module not found error but the module is in the right place

i finally got it to work. this definitely needs a wiki article or at least some readme. I will write it these days. in short what you have to do: after building this package... - reboot or load the modules videodev, v4l2loopback, v4l2loopback_dc by hand using modprobe. But for the v4l2loopback_dc module you need to add a "width" and "height" parameter. these can be 320x240 or more. this should give you /dev/video0 or /dev/video1 - install the app on your phone. search in the google play store for droidcam. there is a free and a paid version. both should work. - if you are in the "video" group you can do $ droidcam otherwise you will need to run it as root: # droidcam this should popup a gui in which you can enter your device's ip and port. then press connect and you should see the camera starting on your device. thats it. you can test the video using vlc for example : $ vlc v4l2:///dev/video1:width=320:height=240

it actually looks like it tries to build v4l2loopback itself, wich should be fulfilled by pulling it in as a dependency. droidcam ships with a webcam-driver that depends on v4l2loopback to register the android cam as a webcam, called "v4l2loopback-dc". i have installed the corresponding app on my phone but i have not gotten it to work yet. I need to debug this a little bit more, sorry.

any news? in the file "install" there are the steps needed to build the module... it seems it needs the source of v4l2loopback

i have added a systemd file and removed the old rc initscript. But i have not tested this with my phone yet. I think i will write a wiki page on how to use this properly soon.

Could you add an update to use systemd? I get these errors on install: /etc/rc.d/droidcam: line 3: /etc/rc.conf: No such file or directory /etc/rc.d/droidcam: line 4: /etc/rc.d/functions: No such file or directory /etc/rc.d/droidcam: line 49: stat_busy: command not found /etc/rc.d/droidcam: line 51: stat_done: command not found /etc/rc.d/droidcam: line 56: stat_busy: command not found /etc/rc.d/droidcam: line 62: stat_done: command not found /etc/rc.d/droidcam: line 3: /etc/rc.conf: No such file or directory /etc/rc.d/droidcam: line 4: /etc/rc.d/functions: No such file or directory /etc/rc.d/droidcam: line 17: stat_busy: command not found /etc/rc.d/droidcam: line 29: add_daemon: command not found /etc/rc.d/droidcam: line 30: stat_done: command not found

[[ "${CARCH}" = "i386" ]] && _arch="x86" && sha1sums+=('5cec41421d60eb5c32e5eab9399dd80b38a2337d') in above line, i386 should be i686.
