Hello All,

I bought a used N900, flashed it to the latest root and mmc images and discovered this issue while attempting to do video calls over skype. It is running the standard kernel.

When someone calls me I can see their video stream but as soon as I push the camera button (on screen) to enable my video stream skype immediately disconnects.

"Mirror" was installed to test the front camera but it only sees the main back camera - there is no option to switch to the front one.

After searching around I installed mplayer and tried to view the stream directly via /dev/video1 but this device node does not even exist (I guess that's why skype balks). Mplayer can stream the rear camera OK via /dev/video0.

Any ideas for further diagnostics? All suggestions are appreciated as I am not sure how to proceed on this one. As I reflashed I am assuming all the correct drivers are in place so perhaps it is looking more like a possible hardware issue. What to you think?

Thanks in advance,
Phil
