using Gnash with Chromium

http://forums.fedoraforum.org – Laptop: Sony Vaio cpu 2.1 ram 2Gb OS: Fedora 12 32-bits Gnome. As my Ricoh webcam (r5u870) wasn't included in the supported webcam by the new fedora, I installed the r5u870 firmware manually, and edited the webcam in skype config to resolution 640x420 to have a nice image in video conferences. but in my browsers, I can't edit adobe flash settings for cam resolution (not because it's closed source, but because I didn't find how to open it :D) So I tried Gnash, and while I'm using chromium, I copied libgnashplugin.so into /usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins/ then tried to use it but flash videos and webcam don't work... It's just black . Do you know how to let gnash work good in browsers ? is there a good alternative to adobe flash ? I'm doing all of this, to get my webcam work fine in browsers without the green image and horizontal lines in it. (HowTos)

Stories similar to using Gnash with Chromium

I have a Logitech C510 webcam connected to my desktop running 64-bit Ubuntu 11.10, but it doesn't seem to be working when I run Cheese and Skype. After doing some search, it seems this webcam should just work out of the box. However, Cheese and Skype don't seem to work with it.

Hi all, i have a webcam with ricoh r5u870 driver in a HP Pavilion dv1000 In maverick i configure with this link: http://code.google.com/p/r5u870/ but now don't work.

Googled i found new packages here.I install two .deb (http://download.tuxfamily.org/arakhn...khne0_i386.deb) and (ricoh-webcam-r5u870_0.11.6-0arakhne0_i386.deb) but my webcam dont't work.

Can you tell me how is configuration?

Hi there

I have a (6-7 year old) Sony Vaio SZ which I run Fedora 14 on. Fedora 14 cannot autodetect the webcam on the laptop.

I've installed and re-installed flash many times on my laptop (Philco 14d-p744lm)

When I use a website that uses the webcam in Flash, for example, Chatroulette or Omegle, and i click on "allow" to allow my webcam to turn on, it doesn't do anything.

This does not happen in Windows 7. What do I need to install/use to make my laptop webcam work with Flash?

I'm running the latest version of Ubuntu, and I have a Dell Sp2009wfd monitor with built in microphone and webcam. I've gotten the microphone working on mumble and on sound recorder, and I've gotten the webcam to work on Cheese...but it WON'T work through the flash player//website webcam things. I -have- the flash plugin, and I have drivers installed for my video card.

How do I flip my webcam for chromium?

My laptop is an ASUS k52n model. The webcam is upside down for chat roulette and the like.

How can I flip it?

F18 - Flash Alternatives? 7 weeks 3 days ago

Hiya,

Just a quick one; I recently installed Chromium web-browser, and as I'm sure you all aware Chromium does not have flash built-in. Now with Adobe dropping out of the 'scene' I am looking at alternatives. The most popular ones seem to be Gnash (http://gnashdev.org/) and Lightspark (http://lightspark.github.com/).

So for the question, is anyone using any of the above two?

Webcam stopped working in skype 2.2., it works in cheese, "system/preference/sound"(to turn on microphone) shows the webcam, skype "options/video devices" shows webcam- but 'test' just has a black screen. During calls, the other party sees my avatar image, I see incoming video. The blog/forum suggestions are mostly for Ubuntu 11 & 12.

I am trying to use my webcam (Creative Live! Cam Chat) to take an image in C/C++ and save it to a certain folder(running Ubuntu). Ideally I'm looking to something as simple as possible despite it not being the most elegant solution.
