Hi,
flash plug-in (version 10.3.181.34 or the beta 11.0.1.60), in either opera1# or firefox5, does not understand neither my web-cam or my microphone;
both my webcam and microphone are working well in skype-oss,
also both flash plug-in works well in opera and firefox;
so it is a flash configuration problem (library or configuration missing? improper file access rights?)
but flash is just a library, i changed nothing from default flash10.tcz
simptom: when i play a flash (for example in youtube), if I right click on movie then a menu shows up, here I select "Setings...", then a dialog shows but frozen; I can not access the icons from this dialog (folder, micropone, webcam, close buton). but the movie plays further without my control;
http://swifthumors.blogspot.com/2008/03/linux-flash-webcam-headache.html
does not helped much, but maybe helps others more skilled;
also, i can change settings online from
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager06.html
but it seems to have no effect for flash,
neither a proper administrator file as /etc/adobe/mms.cfg as found on gento linux site;
i need video and oss sound in messengers like meebo, or google talk etc
does anybody know what is missing? thanks in advance
-
testing on www.testwebcam.com I discovered that in the right click dialog "Adobe Flash Player Settings" can be switched between options icons and settings with the TAB key (options will be with yellow border), but i can not modify anything;
also "LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so firefox &" does not help it;

I have no more ideas for now;
-
Are you sure that's the correct path? libv4l.tcz is in /usr/local
-
sorry, my typo mistake, it is /usr/local/lib/libv4l/ and I tried with v4l2convert.so and v4l1convert.so also without succes.
hunting blindly...
About sound: on adobe site, they say before downloading that flash knows only ALSA. hmm.. flash works with OSS because the old (not updated) libflashsupport.so; but libflashsupport could eventualy control the sound only (the video subroutines are not called). So i think ALSA emulation (from OSS) is need for microphone, as i read on oss forum.
Does anybody have a working webcam in flash (web browser)?
then we could narrow the problem to: driver, library, configuration.
I do not like close source, this is why i swithced from windows to linux. But for video communication linux is not in good shape , yet. If you have suggestions about linux video alternatives to skype, meebo, yahoo IM, please tell me.
thanks.

on 09 Aug 2011 "Adobe just released Flash Player 10.3.183.5 which fixes some of the Mac OSX 10.7 Lion bugs. It definetly fixes the Dialog box issue"
but not my opera/firefox bugs in linux, as webcam and microphone are not detected yet;
anyway, video + sound in youtube (for example) is still OK, no regression;
IMHO, Adobe support for Linux market (<5% ?) is dust in the eyes, as usually;

need to use: LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so opera &
but now I have the Adobe "Settings..." dialog working in flash 10.3.181.34 for opera 11.50
webcam identified as "CIF Single Chip (V4L2)"
microphone as "HDA Intel"
So, still not sure if it is about the kernel version, or missing libraries for accelerated video?
window manager is the ancient "twm",
