PPA description
Flashcam PPA built by Irving Popovetsky
Flashcam provides a V4L1 interface for V4L2 devices. It is commonly used to work around lameness in Adobe Flash Player for Linux:
* Adobe Flash Player v9 only supports V4L1
* Adobe Flash Player v10 supports V4L2, but has a bug which limits resolution to 320x200 on V4L2, whereas V4L1 runs at full resolution.
Adobe's continuing Lameness on the issue is well documented here:
* https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/adobe-flashplugin/+bug/420711
* http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-2138
* http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-3309
Credit where credit is due:
Flashcam was developed by Olivier "Swift" Debon: http://www.swift-tools.net/Flashcam/
Vloopback was developed by the nice folks at the Motion project: http://www.lavrsen.dk/foswiki/bin/view/Motion/VideoFourLinuxLoopbackDevice
My "improvements":
1. Debianize the package for easy distribution and testing on Ubuntu
2. Turn vloopback into a DKMS package, so it automatically rebuilds the module when you install a new kernel
3. New init script and "nanny" script to watch/restart flashcam if it crashes (which happens sometimes)
