Problems with 045c:627b

[Miguel Verdú]

Hi everyone:

I've installed the module as explain on the microdia google group Web, then when I start the mplayer command the led turns on and the image I saw was to dark. Then I restart the computer and the driver still there in the dmesg command telling me that:

[   14.203760] Linux video capture interface: v2.00
[   14.231987] microdia: Microdia USB 2.0 webcam driver loaded
[   14.231987] microdia: Microdia USB 2.0 Webcam - 0C45:627B plugged-in.
[   14.233328] microdia: Microdia USB 2.0 Webcam is now controlling video device /dev/video0
[   14.233381] usbcore: registered new interface driver usb_microdia_driver
[   14.233385] microdia: v2008.09 : Microdia USB 2.0 Webcam Driver

but when I start the mplayer command I see a black&white checklines test (attatched image). Can you help me?
My web cam is a 045c:627b (1.3 megapixel) as the image with one blue led and one button.

Regards.
Fardatxo.

Hi Fardatxo

Regarding the dark image issue, try this s/w
In order to adjust brightness/color etc use the following utility
Universal control panel for v4l2 devices get your binary packages here,
http://www.debian-multimedia.org/dists/stable/main/binary-i386/package/v4l2ucp.php
or here,
http://www.debian-multimedia.org/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/package/v4l2ucp.php
launch it by executing the following command
$ v4l2ucp

This is a GUI to adjust the picture quality.

If you restarted the machine, then the driver wouldn't be automatically loaded,
need some more info about your setup,

see if using the above v4l2-ucp s/w solves your dark image problems
