the uvc driver is incorporated in the kernel.
The video node should be created automatic.
But if it is not present try these commands and then attache again your webcam
- Code: Select all
mknod /dev/video0 c 81 0
chmod 666 /dev/video0

Hi
Amazing and then I do not think it is a driver issue.
What url do you use to watch the cam stream ? Maybe there is an issue with the link "http://nasname/.webcam/stream_motion.php". You can try to use directly the stream flux from the short url "http://nasname:8090"
Also it may have issue with some web browsers; For example, the link "http://nasname:8090" does not work with Internet Explorer according with its version. With Chrome or Firefox there is no issue
