In addition to my last remark, the image_folder arg, which is used in the systemd unit, has been removed: https://github.com/fangfufu/Linux-Fake-Background-Webcam/commit/89853c5dfe1a363bf13e7738d14550e401953b10

Could we get this updated to the latest commit? There have been some fixes merged to prevent aggressive flickering.

Hi, is akvcam really needed as the package is configured to use v4l2loopback?

Getting this error:

Any idea on how to fix this?

Actually, the changes are even larger than pointed out by @Rhinoceros . The contents of the fakecam folder have been moved to root, and the dependency from bodypix has been dropped in favour of Google's mediapipe. Which, if I'm not mistaken, isn't in in aur right now. Do you need help making the switch?

Rhinoceros commented on 2021-06-11 02:14 (UTC)

Looks like upstream changed the directory structure, so this PKGBUILD doesn't work any more. Specifically on line 39, it tries to cd "$srcdir/${pkgbase}/fakecam", but this subdirectory no longer exists.

Also, for the bundled readme.md, I get a checksum of f6b37aff68926eb16c510db56df665ec2a3f8aa7348c0e8ddf247bcaa770a955.

Thanks for the package Premik, its working great for me. Only thing I did was changing the /dev/video2%i to /dev/video4 on my setup in the fake-background-webcam@.service. That made it get recognized in Zoom and MS Teams which are both firejailed on my setup. With the video siting on 20, I could only disable the private-dev setting all along in firejail or it wouldnt be found.

One question: do you plan on keeping this package or update to the new mediapipe release of the git version?
