Using the Easycap USB video capture device with Debian Slug Notes for next time I first needed to update my Debian nslu2 from Etch to Lenny The Easycap Linux driver source code is here and I compiled it as in the source README I needed mjpg_player which can stream the pictures to a web page I compiled mjpg_player from source - odd that you can't apt-get it then ln /dev/easycap0 /dev/video9 My path to mjpg-streamer was /home/graham/mjpg-streamer/mjpg-streamer/mjpg_streamer So to start it I did /home/graham/mjpg-streamer/mjpg-streamer/mjpg_streamer -i "/home/graham/mjpg-streamer/mjpg-streamer/plugins/input_uvc/input_uvc.so -d /dev/video9 -f 5 -y -q 80 -n" -o "/home/graham/mjpg-streamer/mjpg-streamer/plugins/output_http/output_http.so -p 8070 -w /webcam_www" more to follow
