[Placeholder for USB webcam Interoperability Guide]
Requirements to get a USB Webcam to working on a FireTV device-
My Logitech C922 can be activated on my gen2 fireTV stick, via a variety of side-loaded apps using an OTG cable/hub, but video can't be displayed/recorded.
Would love some details.

On the gen2 stick, a few USB cam apps are known to work at certain resolutions with the Logitech C922 Pro-
USB Camera - Connect EasyCap or USB WebCam works at 640x360 and 432x240

So how much work is required to support browser-based, webrtc messaging on a gen 3 unit with a usbotg cam? Check out the webrtc web site- appr.tc, using your favorite browser (opera, chrom*, mozilla) and see for yourself...

webcam working or not on fire tv stick OS 5.2.7.2
Good evening to all, i need to know if using an OTG cable i can connect a webcam usb android to my fire tv stick or not.
Let me know all esactly please

Hello,
I'm very intrested about enabling OTG on my Nexus 4 in order to plug it to my DSLR camera,so I can use apps like DSLR Controller with the Nexus and the camera.
I came across ziddey's thread (1) and CaptainMuon's thread (2)
So I bought myself some cables and now I have some questions before I begin:
1) Because I'm using a camera,a device that doesn't need any power from my Nexus,do I still need to supply any external power to the USBs?
2) In ziddey's thread he mentions that if you have a digital camera (or other devices that won't require power),you should manually enable OTG
on your device
OTG state can be manually set to host, none, or peripheral (shouldn't ever be a reason to need to set this one) via /sys/kernel/debug/msm_otg/mode. Execute the following as root (adb shell over wireless, terminal emulator, etc):
Code:
# echo host > /sys/kernel/debug/msm_otg/mode
or
# echo none > /sys/kernel/debug/msm_otg/mode

So my question is, do I still need the custom kernel etc to enable OTG on my device or should I just enter these commands and im all good?
Sorry if my questions are dumb,as you can probably already tell,im new to this.
Thank you!
Bump... Please help if you can
If is possible, please add UVC driver support to this ROM. I can't find any custom ROM with v4l2 enabled kernel.
Too complicated build custom kernel for me.
Code:
CONFIG_VIDEO_DEV=y
CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L2_COMMON=y
CONFIG_VIDEO_MEDIA=y
CONFIG_USB_VIDEO_CLASS=y
CONFIG_V4L_USB_DRIVERS=y
CONFIG_USB_VIDEO_CLASS_INPUT_EVDEV=y

Wouldn't do much without a matching camera HAL... Or are you using commandline capture utilities?
And you need to tell us which device you're using. Some devices simply don't have OTG support at all and never will because they don't have the hardware for it. (mako is one of these...)

Thanks for reply.
I use nexus 10 tablet. USB mouse working fine so i think, OTG cable is working on my device.
My general problem: No /dev/video0 video source.
Searched by this command in terminal emulator: ls /dev | grep video0
I use ArutCam application for stream external camera picture.. i talk the developer and he say: "arutcam lets you choose camera
if your camera is detected well by android then it will be ok"
Sorry for my english

I don't have a manta so I can't make this change myself.
If you're able to build Omni yourself, you can try making the change and then submitting it to gerrit for review.

Hello,
I am trying to get my Logitech Webcam to work with my N7 rooted stock ROM 4.4.2. So far, I have utilized the information from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2092216
I did everything correctly through Terminal inputting the text show from the thread I linked, which is:
su
ls -l /dev/video0
chmod 666 /dev/video0
Opened up SimpleWebCam, and the app says my camera is not supported. I am using a Logitech HD Pro Webcam C910, and that webcam has been verified to be working properly.
I did a bit of research and found that DashCam would also solve my problem. I installed the DashCam app and the app still does not recognize my webcam.
Is 4.4.2 just giving everyone problems with this stuff? I'm not sure what else I can do or should be doing. Help?!
Thanks! =)

Hi to all
I have a fire stick tv lite ( sheldon) but it doesn t convert audio stream to dolby digital, i cant play audio with my amp dolby digital ( no trouble with tank version).
My firmware is 7.6 1.4 (3227)? Any chance ti convert it?
I have read lot of posts, but i dont understand much, need to root to execute adb command?
Thanks
Check out this post:
[UNLOCK][ROOT][TWRP][UNBRICK] Fire TV Stick 3 and Fire TV Stick Lite (sheldon/p)
Read this whole guide before starting. This is for the 3rd gen Fire TV Stick (sheldonp) and Fire TV Stick Lite (sheldon). NOTE: FireOS < 7.2.7.3 required NOTE: This process does not require you to open your device. What you need: A Linux...
forum.xda-developers.com
But this guide only works if the device is on a firmware older than 7.2.7.3.
I have read it, but I dont understand if is possibile to do something to only convert sheldon to sheldonp ( to solve dolby digital trouble), no need to keep root or also, as i will run original firmware
If your only problem is Dolby Digital / Plus passthrough, that should work with the FireTV Lite
Device Specifications: Fire TV Streaming Media Player | Amazon Fire TV
Fire TV Streaming Media Player specifications are provided here.
developer.amazon.com
When you run the FireTV audio and video diagnostics does it report Dolby Digital support?
What's your setup confirmation? Lite -> TV -> to AVR via HDMI or optical?
I think tank version converts ddplus or atmos to dd, while sheldon only do passthrough, my amp is only dd capable so i get only stereo pcm audio ( no dd option in audio whlie watching).
In diagnostic i get dd passthrough capable.
My setup: firetv -> tv by hdmi -> amp by coax cable
Thanks
Ah ok, so you need any DD+/Atmos audio to be transcoded to DD and passed to the TV. I don't know if the Lite and or regular 3rd gen Stick can do that? Maybe someone else can confirm that?
Have you tried FireOS settings / display & audio / audio / surround sound / Dolby digital?
This will limit audio to DD, but I'm not sure if it will transcode DD+ to DD automatically.
The Lite and the 3rd gen Stick are the same hardware, but the Lite comes with a remote with no volume buttons. The Lite can be converted to the 3rd gen with a firmware flash and minor changes, but flashing firmware requires unlocking / TWRP, and Amazon patched the last method in March. There hasn't been a new method discovered since then.
