[OpenIndiana-discuss] Virtualbox and USB webcam

[Tony Brian Albers]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to get my webcam to work in a vbox guest (to use zoom), but 
even though it seems to be present in the VM, cheese, zoom and qv4l2 
only shows a blank screen. The video device is there though.

On the host I see:

messages:Jan  7 15:46:00 emu usba: [ID 691482 kern.warning] WARNING: 
/pci at 0,0/pci1028,546 at 14 (xhci0): usb_mid2 cannot be reset due to other 
applications are using it, please first close these applications, then 
disconnect and reconnectthe device.

In /var/adm/messages.

I'm using virtualbox 6.1.16 r140961 with the extension pack of the same 
version and guest additions. I use the webcam passthrough option under 
"Devices".

The guest is SolydX64 (debian respin)

Does anyone have any ideas? I haven't been able to find any info about 
this specific issue.

TIA

/tony
