WebcamStudio 0.73
webcamstudio [.studio file] -o [Output] -autoplay -remote
[.studio file] --> The studio file that will be automatically loaded at start.
-
o [Output] --> The Output button that will be enabled automatically at start. To specify the Output you will use the first name of the device (Case Sensitive): Ex: [ WSVideoDevice - UDP - Ustream - IceCast - Audio - ...] Naturally you must have the related button already added to WS.
-
autoplay --> Will automatically start the first channel of the .studio file.
-
remote --> Will automatically enable the Remote-Control at start.
Ex:
$ java -jar WebcamStudio.jar /home/karl/Videos/Test.studio -o UDP -autoplay -remote
In Ubuntu you can install the latest WS build using the WebcamStudio PPA: "https://launchpad.net/~webcamstudio/+archive/webcamstudio-dailybuilds"
- First make sure you have at least Java 7 installed (better the Oracle ...) and that it is the default one.
- Download the archive and extract it where you want.
A) Unpack "webcamstudio-module-112.tar.bz2", navigate to the extracted folder, open a terminal and compile it:
$ make $ sudo make install
B) modprobe the webcamstudio module:
- Control that you have the "libwebcamstudio.so" library in your (64bit) /usr/lib64 or (32bit) /usr/lib folder and If you don't have it:
From folder WS_libx64 (Shipped in this archive) Copy "libwebcamstudio.so" in /usr/lib64 (or your user libs folder ...)
From folder WS_libx86 (Shipped in this archive) Copy "libwebcamstudio.so" in /usr/lib
- WebcamStudio also uses JavaCV for some operations, and because this library differs from 32 to 64bit versions, you have to make sure to use the correct ones (necessary step):
In 32bit machines you have to remove the x86-64 JavaCV libraries and add the x86 ones in the "lib" folder of the extracted multidistro archive. The libraries are:
- Replace "ffmpeg-linux-x86_64.jar" with "ffmpeg-linux-x86.jar"
- Replace "opencv-linux-x86_64.jar" with "opencv-linux-x86.jar" You can find the x86 libraries in the "Opencv-Natives/x86" folder.
- Navigate to the multidistro archive extracted folder, where "WebcamStudio.jar" is and in a terminal type:
If you want to use FFmpeg backend in Ubuntu 14.04/14.10 open a terminal and type:
sudo add-apt-respository ppa:mc3man/trusty-media sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
First of all add Packman repository from "Yast2 -> Configuration -> Repository -> Add -> Community Repositories -> Pacman" if not done yet, and update all: $ sudo zypper refresh $ sudo zypper update
Add RPM Fusion Free / nonFree: http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration After adding the repository, open a terminal and with root privileges run:
<Step 1> Download the fonts from: http://font.ubuntu.com/resources/ ( Download the Ubuntu Font Family › (1.5MB) )
<Step 2> Unzip the fonts and rename the folder to your liking (I renamed mine to "ubuntu").
<Step 3> Open Terminal and type the following: $ su -
Note: >> You can skip gnonlin 0.10 build because WS uses only 1.x version now, but if you need it ...
Compile gnonlin from source 0.10.17 ... "http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/src/gnonlin/" Prior to give the first "./configure" or "./configure --build=x86_64" command you have to install with root privileges:
Run "make" command. Finally run "make install" (with root privileges) and when is done, copy the gnonlin libs from "usr/local/lib/gstreamer-0.10" to "usr/lib64/gstreamer-010" in Fedora20 64Bit ... i think that for 32Bit the destination is "usr/lib/gstreamer-010".

<Step 5> Install "ffmpeg", "dvgrab" and "pavucontrol".
Install ffmpeg and pavucontrol from packman repo (Yast2).
<Step 6> In both OpenSuse and Fedora install "wmctrl" package to enable single desktop window capture.
<Step 7> Extract Webcamstudio-module-112 archive (will create vloopback folder):
Install kernel-devel:
... and if you have issues look here:
... and look that the build link the correct current kernel (I had to reboot because my running kernel was 3.17 with buld link broken, and the correct one was to 3.18)
... and compile webcamstudio-module-111 (Shipped in this archive "vloopback") with "make" & "sudo make install". Later modprobe it with "sudo modprobe webcamstudio".
install "kernel-source" and "gcc" from Yast2 ... and compile webcamstudio-module-111 (Shipped in this archive "vloopback") with "make" & "sudo make install". Later modprobe it with "sudo modprobe webcamstudio".
From folder WS_libx64 (Shipped in this archive) Copy libwebcamstudio.so in /usr/lib64 (or your user libs folder ...)
From folder WS_libx86 (Shipped in this archive) Copy libwebcamstudio.so in /usr/lib
<Step 9> SkyCam: To use SkyCam you have to link "gksu" command to your existing gui-sudo installed Package. For example if you have "gnomesu" or or "kdesu" installed, open a terminal and type: $ sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gnomesu /usr/bin/gksu or $ sudo ln -s /usr/bin/kdesu /usr/bin/gksu
There is "gksu-polkit":
<Step 10> FaceDetectorAlpha (necessary step): In x86-64bit machine you are already set-up. In 32bit machines to enable FaceDetector Effect you have to remove the x86-64 JavaCV libraries and add the x86 ones in the "lib" folder.
The libraries are: ffmpeg-linux-x86_64.jar replace with ffmpeg-linux-x86.jar opencv-linux-x86_64.jar replace with opencv-linux-x86.jar You can find the x86 libraries in the "Opencv-Natives/x86" folder.
<Step 11> Finally navigate where WebcamStudio.jar is and type from a terminal (tested to work on Opensuse 13.2):
$ java -jar WebcamStudio.jar
... or if this not works (tested on Fedora 21):
$ /usr/java/default/bin/java -jar WebcamStudio.jar
Naturally for all streams and outputs you can't select "avconv" backend (It will be hided) if you didn't compile Avconv. If you want you can compile libAV from sources. "http://libav.org/download.html" For WS to work, please use this libAV ./configure settings:
$./configure --enable-gpl --enable-nonfree --enable-pthreads --enable-libx264 --enable-libfaac --enable-libmp3lame --enable-version3 --enable-librtmp --enable-x11grab --enable-libpulse
Opensuse: First be sure that all gstreamer packages have "packman" as vendor. To pass all packages to packman do:
$ sudo zypper dup --from packman
If the gstreamer backend doesn't work, maybe the codec cache is corrput. I found the solution in this forum: http://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/492716-openSUSE-13-1%28GNOME%29-codec-problem-mp4v-mpga-h264-mp4a/page3
And in particolar: Remove ~/.cache/gstreamer-1.0/ if it exists. Run "gst-inspect-1.0" (you may have to install "gstreamer-utils"). This should register all installed plugins.
Compile gnonlin from source 0.10.17 ... "http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/src/gnonlin/" Once "sudo make install" is done, copy the gnonlin libs from "usr/local/lib/gstreamer" to "usr/lib/gstreamer" in Manjaro Linux ...
First of all do the following in a terminal:
$ sudo /bin/rm -f /var/lib/pacman/db.lck
$ sudo pacman -Syu
Then to have the correct visualization install Ubuntu fonts:
<Step 1> Download the fonts from: http://font.ubuntu.com/resources/ ( Download the Ubuntu Font Family › (1.5MB) )
<Step 2> Unzip the fonts and rename them to your liking I renamed mine to "ubuntu".
<Step 3> Open Terminal and type the following: $ su -
<Step 4> I used the GUI "Package Manager":
install "dkms" from AUR Install "linux316-headers" from AUR Install "gnonlin" from AUR. Install "wmctrl" package to enable single desktop window capture. Install "dvgrab" package to enable firewire device capture.
- Compile webcamstudio-module-111 (Shipped in this archive (vloopback folder)) and modprobe it: Navigate where the vloopback folder is extracted and from a terminal type: $ make $ sudo make install $ sudo modprobe webcamstudio
<Step 5> For SkyCam install "gksu" from AUR.
<Step 6> Install libwebcamstudio: For x64: From folder WS_libx64 (Shipped in the zip file) Copy libwebcamstudio.so in /usr/lib64 (or your user libs folder ...) or For x86: From folder WS_libx86 (Shipped in the zip file) Copy libwebcamstudio.so in /usr/lib
<Step 7> FaceDetectorAlpha (necessary step) To enable FaceDetector Effect in 32bit machines you have to remove the x86-64 JavaCV libraries and add the x86 ones in the "lib" folder. The libraries are: ffmpeg-linux-x86_64.jar replace with ffmpeg-linux-x86.jar opencv-linux-x86_64.jar replace with opencv-linux-x86.jar You can find the x86 libraries in the "Opencv-Natives/x86" folder.
Finally navigate where WebcamStudio.jar is and type from a terminal: $ java -jar WebcamStudio.jar
Naturally for all streams and outputs you can't select "avconv" backend (It will be hided) if you didn't compile Avconv. If you want you can compile libAV from sources. "http://libav.org/download.html" For WS to work, please use this libAV ./configure settings:
$./configure --enable-gpl --enable-nonfree --enable-pthreads --enable-libx264 --enable-libfaac --enable-libmp3lame --enable-version3 --enable-librtmp --enable-x11grab --enable-libpulse
