droidcam's Issues

Ubuntu 18.04 Droidcam installation v4l2loopback-dc.ko Required key error

OS: Ubuntu 18.04
I am trying to install droidcam terminal prompts me this error. How could get rid of this?
insmod: ERROR: could not insert module /lib/modules/4.15.0-43-generic/kernel/drivers/media/video/v4l2loopback-dc.ko: Required key not available

PPA not found

I just tried to add the PPA as mentioned in README.md but I got this:

Err:8 http://ppa.launchpad.net/paolorotolo/droidcam/ubuntu bionic Release

E: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/paolorotolo/droidcam/ubuntu bionic Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.

Keeps disconnecting on ubuntu 14.04

Compiled, connected, all works, thanks. There is an issue though - it keeps disconnecting with error:
[mjpeg @ 0x17294c0] EOI missing, emulating

Probably some frame is incorrect so it crashes. Maybe needs some error handling implemented.

Quick workaround for me was doing bash loop to reinitialize connection, but it would be much better to fix it if possible.

Workaround:
while true; do droidcam-cli X.X.X.X 4747; done

For android 2.3.6

Is there a droidcam version for 2.3.6 , if yes then can somebody pls give the .apk file

Error in ubuntu 15.04

altered webcam resolution is non-permament

steps to reproduce

Close any programs using the droidcam webcam. Unload the device driver:
sudo rmmod v4l2loopback_dc
Re-load it with new resolution:
sudo insmod /lib/modules/uname -r/kernel/drivers/media/video/v4l2loopback-dc.ko width=1280 height=720
Restart the droidcam client: Works with 720p resolution.
Edit the text file /etc/modprobe.d/droidcam.conf with the new options to make the change stick:
options v4l2loopback_dc width=1280 height=720
reboot

actual behaviour

Despite the droidcam.conf entries, the resolution falls back to 640 x 480.

expected behaviour

The changes in resolution should be permanent.

Not compatible with current DroidCam android app

Things used to work for me, but after the android app updated, I now get:

connect IP='ca01a8c0' (192.168.1.202); p:4747
Error: Connection reset!
DroidCam is probably busy with another client
settings error: No such file or directory
Device: Droidcam (v4l2loopback)
Found driver: /dev/video0 (fd:3)
connect IP='ca01a8c0' (192.168.1.202); p:4747

... repeated over + over in my console, and:

"Request failed: PC client is outdated!"

... in the android app.

Installation fails at --configure on Elementary OS Luna

OS: Elementary OS Luna (Ubuntu 12.04)
So, I added the repositories and did

$sudo apt-get install droidcam

The result:
