Hi folks.
I know this seems to ber a regular problem but none of the things I've
found so far seem to work.
My cam works fine in cheese, and works fine in skype. However, Flash
doesn't even see it, and on the Flash admin panel the web cam tab doesn't
even show.
I'm using a HP Envy 17-J184na with built in web cam. From memory, I think
it just worked (for cheese and skype) without me having to do anything.
I'm trying to use flash through Firefox.
I'm using
flash-plugin-11.2.202.460-release.x86_64
firefox-37.0.2-1.fc20.x86_64
I've been told to try gnash-plugin instead so I have removed the flash-plugin
and installed gnash-plugin.
I confirmed in about:plugins that the change has occurred and then tried using
the cam again. It behaved exactly the same as with the flash-plugin. I don't
know how to get up the gnash equiv of the admin panel though.
I've checked with Cheese and the cam is still working.
