And I may be doing something dumb, like not configuring one of the apps correctly. (I am used to using Cheese to open cameras like this, but I am not on Ubuntu).
I thought cheese was still available, here.
What about VLC?
Cheese and VLC are not installed.
And mplayer/smplayer/gmplayer/etc (there's various graphical front ends for mplayer).
Mplayer is not installed. But I did not check the others. I'm trying to stay within the KDE bounds. I don't want to bring in anything with a lot of dependencies, or anything from GNOME.
I eventually got Kamoso to work. Kamoso tricked me in round one. It defaults to the laptop's built-in camera with no indication of the source. My laptop has one of those blanking clips over the laptop camera, so it looked like a misbehaving camera program. You have to go into settings and configuration to select an alternate source. Kamoso really needs a drop-down list on the main UI to make it obvious what it is showing.
