Hey there,
once upon a time I installed Webcamoid to make photos with my notebook. This worked flawlessly but today, I wanted to make a photo and realized, it cannot capture images from the camera.
I also tested OBS and camera capture in the web browser, both work fine. But importantly, the camera capture works in both versions (Git and non-Git) of the AUR package. (The compilation duration is really a pain, inconvenient.)
When I ran the Chaotic AUR version from the console, it looks like it could be missing libraries or function names.
Garuda-inxi for you
