Hello community,
First of, I hope that this is in the proper section.
Alright guys, this is driving me insane! My webcam in Virtual Box won't work.
I am running Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS in Virtual Box 5.0.6, on a Windows 10 host. I need a webcam for a computer vision project in OpenCV.
I specifically bought the Trust SpotLight Webcam Pro since it was supposed to work as per this list. When I run the video.py test I just get a black screen.
When I run lsusb it gives me this (seems like the webcam is recognised):
Cheese also gives me a black screen, and returns this in the terminal:
I added the USB device filter in the VirtualBox settings (3D acceleration is off), however when I hover over the filter I see that the state is not supported.
Can this be fixed, or should I return my webcam and get a new one? If so, how would I know which one will work since the list obviously contains errors.
Thank you.
