Hi all,
I have hacked camorama (http://camorama.fixedgear.org/) so that it works with videojack. This means that videojack now has support for many types of webcam. 

A quick HOWTO: 

1) download the patched jack from here:<br>
http://bekstation.bek.no/piksel/pikseldev/jack-vjack5.tar.bz2

compile and install it. Make sure you delete all older copies of jack ! 


2) edit your ~/.jackdrc file, change it to:

'/usr/bin/jackd --port-max 10 -d dummy -r 25 -p 10'

(assuming you installed the patched jackd in /usr/bin)



3) download patched camorama from here: <br>
http://bekstation.bek.no/piksel/pikseldev/camorama-vjack.tar.bz2

compile and install it.



4) Plug in a USB webcam, and start camorama. If all is well you will see the camera frames, and also a message on the terminal about starting and connecting to jack. 


jack_lsp should show:

'camorama:video_out'


You can now start a video input, e.g. jack_video_ouput. Then connect camorama to the output using:

'jack_connect camorama\:video_out jack_video_output\:video_in'


You can start as many copies of jack_video_output as you like, and keep connecting. 


You can also view/record the output in LiVES.

- compile LiVES with --enable-vjack

- start up LiVES using the sox audio player (with CVS version you can do "lives -aplayer sox")

- go to the VJ/set real time effect defaults menu. Click on vjack_rcv. Set the frame width and height to match the size in camorama. You can save this if you wish (VJ/Save realtime effects) 

- press ctrl-v and map ctrl-9, mode 1 to vjack_rcv. Close the window.

- press ctrl-9. You should see blank frames.

- connect LiVES to camorama: jack_connect camorama:video_out Weed-receiver:video_in



 
Enjoy !

Gabriel.
