Hello.
I've been using Arch for the past couple of weeks, and recently noticed that my webcam doesn't give any video input to most of the apps.
It's a Genius iSlim 310.
I have read this - https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/webcam_setup and figured that I have to enable a couple of kernel driver modules,
namely "gspca_main" and "gspca_pac7302", but it didn't fix anything, so I kind of just forgot about it for a bit.
However, recently, I found "guvcview". Decided to try it, installed via pacman, and it just works.
The apps I'm trying to use the webcam in (Firefox and Discord) aren't flatpaks, so it's not related to sandboxing.
Moreover, I borrowed a different, UVC webcam, and it worked first try everywhere.
All forum posts I've found related to this are old and never were answered, so, I'm here.
Does anyone have a solution to this? Thanks.
