Irinwebcam stopped working - Bizarre bug

So, my Iriun Webcam app just stopped working, and the most bizarre is the bug: it shows just empty on the program. I don't even know how to describe it, so I'll try to post the print screen. I really don't want to format the pc just because of this, but I need it to work for my job. Things I've tried so far:

-Reinstall the package and all of its dependencies
-Restart the computer several times

Thanks in advance!

Since when does that happen? Did you do some upgrades recently?

Could you try to switch to the linux-lts kernel?

Thank you for your help!

Everyday I update the system when I wake up, it never gives me any crazy things like this time. I'm trying to switch to kernel-lts but I have no idea of how. So far, I typed "sudo pacman -S linux-lts", installed it and restarted the computer. Still the same bug. Am I missing something?

Yes you need to configure your bootloader to boot from the new kernel, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_b … comparison for a link to each doc page.

You can output which kernel you have currently booted with "uname -r".

You mean I have to format my system anyway, since it's impossible to change kernels without screwing everything. But thanks anyway, I will format it.

Absolutely not, what bootloader do you use?

Does eg. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Webcam_setup#mpv still work or is that also affected?
Please post your complete system journal for the boot:

sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st
