/video not working on arch linux

Open dkwo opened this issue 5 years ago • 3 comments

On Arch Linux, if I try to set video by /svdev in 0 which corresponds to /dev/video0, my laptop webcam, then during a cal /video does not work: it crashes my contact's toxic, and on my side only a black 'video receiver' window opens up. Am I missing something? Btw, is there a way to e.g. use mpv for handling video?

Thanks.

It would be very helpful to see a stack trace of the crash. Are you able to reproduce this bug locally with two instances of Toxic?

@JFreegman I think I might have come across a similar issue (on Gentoo). How can I provide a stack trace?

Assuming you compiled with -o0 and/or debug flags:

  1. Run two toxics
  2. Run gdb and attach the toxic process you intend to crash: attach [pid] (might need admin privilegs)
  3. Crash toxic
  4. In gdb type backtrace full

i haven't been using this (hence reproducing the issue) for a while, so i'm closing this. feel free to reopen if still relevant.
