Dear Peter E. I do not claim any expertise i have only just started using coriander and vloopback. But what i have i will share. I suggest you get vloopback working its fine on Linux 2.6.38 pre-releases. Download the using subversion svn co http://www.lavrsen.dk/svn/vloopback/trunk/ vloopback then compile and install if you are using One camera you will need two pipes so modprobe vloopback pipes=2 run coriander set up the camera and start the v4l service using the default device (/dev/video0) then run what ever program using the next device ie /dev/video1 should work fine all the best gordon On Sun, 2012-06-03 at 12:30 -0700, pe...@ea... wrote: > Hi, > > Please excuse this interjection.
