Hi,
i have a problem with my Webcam after reinstalling my system.
I dont know why it isnt detected as video device. It is detecetd as USB device in general.
The crownsnest log says no usable device.

I hope someone could help me with this.

Send the output of ls /dev/v4l/by-id and v4l2-ctl --list-devices

So as v4l2-ctl cannot access it, it looks like the camera is either broken, or maybe it doesn't get enough power for some reason

#

Can you try it on a PC?
