Dear all,
I’d like some help with the following. I have a GL-AR300M were I can hook up a simple USB webcam and see the video option.
I would like to do the same with an AR750: hook up a USB webcam and see the video. I cannot get it to work and don’t understand why this seems different with another GL-inet device. My AR750 is running the latest version 2.272, I rebooted the AR750 several times. In the upper menu I see settings, app repo etc etc, but no video. With dmesg I see
usb 1-1.2: USB disconnect, device number 4
usb 1-1.2: new high-speed USB device number 5 using ehci-platform
but no devices like /dev/video . I installed usbutils, and see this with lsusb, so the webcam seems to be recognized by the kernel:
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 046d:0825 Logitech, Inc. Webcam C270
Thank you, I agree in the reasons and am willing to use mjpeg-streamer or motion or whatever. But I’m missing a device like /dev/video. Can it be, this support for webcams is also already removed from the kernel?
