Bug 787515

Isn't this a Skype bug?

From your bug report it seems GStreamer applications work fine, so it seems to me that you should file a bug there?

Not sure if this is about Gstreamer or something else. What is missing here?

Or is this about webcam (libv4l)?

# env LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype
ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.

This is no bug.

It was a libv4l issue. My system is x86_64 and was missing 32 bit libv4l.

After installation, cam works with skype using:

$ LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype
