dummy webcam?

In order to use an app ( emesene ) I need to have a dummy webcam,
I don't want to buy one and I don't like them, so

anybody has an idea?

Re: dummy webcam?

I have no idea if it will work or not, but you might try using one of the following files:

/dev/null
/dev/zero
/dev/random

Reading the first always gets an EOF, the second is an endless file of 0's, and the last, and endless file of pseudo random numbers.

It might work.
