What should I do? Thanks in advance! Hello Dotan, Your webcam is not UVC compliant. One problem may be the fact that it is handled by 2 drivers: sn9c102 and gspca/sonixj. In both cases, the driver gives JPEG images. These ones are not handled natively by some applications as luvcview which knows only about MJPG. You have to use the wrapper of the v4l2 library to make them work.
