Summary: Cannot display my webcam (don't start)

Initial Comment:
Hi, I'm a new member of sourceforge

At home, I installed last official version of Ayttm
(0.4.6-17) from this site.
The installation on my Mandravista 2005 edition (2.6.11
kernel version) was ok.
The messaging system run perfectly with the Windows
Yahoo messenger version but I have a problem with my
webcam:

- I can view the webcam of my girl friend but when I
try to start my webcam, the webcam window is empty (no
picture!)
I don't have error message and my Labtec Webcam Pro is
not started (webcam LED stopped)

I seen that the webcam is normally started with the
Ayttm program

The "webcamrc" in my  home folder exists but it contain
a call to /usr/bin/webcam and I don't havethis program
in my computer.

My webcam work fine with gnome meeting (H323 support)
and work with Gyach but my Windows Yahoo messenger see
only a gray window.

Can you help me to do working my webcam on Ayttm

Thanks

Seb...

Ps: xawtv and jasper are installed on my PC

You need to have either /usr/bin/webcam or an equivalent program (ie,
something that takes snapshots from your webcam, and can either save them
as a file or write the image contents to a stream.  If you look at
/usr/local/bin/ayttm_streamer_wrapper.sh, that's exactly what your program
needs to do.  You can use anything that accomplishes this.

Secondly, you need to enable JPEG2000 images.  This is in the preferences
screen under Filters | Img2JPC.

If you fix both of these, webcams should work.
