v4l2loopback skype and flash problem.

Hey guys when I was using ubuntu the following command worked fine for skype, flash and the browsers.

gst-launch-0.10 videotestsrc ! ffmpegcolorspace ! "video/x-raw-yuv,format=(fourcc)YUY2" ! v4l2sink device=/dev/video0

Now it is detected by Skype but the video is not moving its only showing a stuck frame.
and for web browsers its not detect via google-chrome or google-chrome flash, but it is detected via firefox but not detected via firefox flash plugin.
at arch skype wiki there was this:
For x86_64, install lib32-v4l-utils from [multilib] repository and run Skype with:

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype

so I edited /usr/bin/skype

#!/bin/bash

LIBDIR="/usr/lib32"

if [[ -e "$LIBDIR/libv4l/v4l2convert.so" ]]; then
	export LD_PRELOAD="${LD_PRELOAD:+$LD_PRELOAD:}$LIBDIR/libv4l/v4l2convert.so"
fi

if [[ -e "/usr/share/skype/lib/libQtWebKit.so.4" ]]; then
	export LD_PRELOAD="${LD_PRELOAD:+$LD_PRELOAD:}/usr/share/skype/lib/libQtWebKit.so.4"
fi

	export LD_PRELOAD="${LD_PRELOAD:+$LD_PRELOAD:}$LIBDIR/libv4l/v4l1compat.so"
#	export LD_PRELOAD="${LD_PRELOAD:+$LD_PRELOAD:}$LIBDIR/libv4l/v4l2convert.so"

But the problem still the same, the camera is not moving.
Also when i tried to enter at the terminal this:

/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so

It shows: Segmentation fault (core dumped).
How can I make it detected by flash and the browsers and how can I fix skype problem ?

Re: v4l2loopback skype and flash problem.

I never ran skype or anything multilib but is it possible that LIBDIR is not correctly identified in your script?
Perhaps just change $LIBDIR to /usr/lib32?

Then tell us what you have learned.  What you have tried.  What did work? What did not work?
We assume that you are actively working the problem and have not just thrown it over the fence looking for an answer.
These are very active forums.  If you receive "crickets", then I guarantee it is because no one has enough information to help you.  Rattling the the cage will not help

Nothing did work, i tried various versions of v4l2loopback and I tried various commands of gst-launch-0.10

It worked with the last kernel update, request to close.

On these forums the protocol is, when you regard it as solved, to just edit your original post.  There is an option to change the thread title, prepend "[Solved]".
We ask that you do this as only you know when it is solved

It was the kernel problem.

Re: v4l2loopback skype and flash problem.

As I see, you opened two different problems. One for video4l_skype and one for flash.
What flash?
You can open new post for the second problem

Re: v4l2loopback skype and flash problem.

Just let the thread rest [1]. You didn't mark the thread as solved as requested, even if the solution was just using a newer kernel, and you didn't bother to reply until several months later, closing.
