Ok so I have tried to setup a bog standard usb web camera that I had for using with skype on my windows machine.
I followed the wiki but after reloading the router I do not get any video!!
Any suggestions? :-\

Hi,
I solve my problem with my old webcam, adding a few comands before load the skype app.
run this as root:
#rename /usr/bin/skype to /usr/bin/2skype
mv /usr/bin/skype /usr/bin/2skype
#then
# make a new file called skype with this:
vi /usr/bin/skype
#Paste this inside
#--------------------------
#!/bin/bash
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so 2skype
#------------------------------
write and quit
Then u need to follow this wiki
http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Adding_new_computing_apps
I think that this enviroment setting could be added by lmce without need to rename files or doing this, but i didn't try it.
Thanks
Hernan
