Wine: using webcam with Cisco Jabber Video client

  • 772

I'm trying to use Cisco Jabber Video client (https://www.ciscojabbervideo.com/home) with Wine but I'm unable to get the webcam to work.

Steps that I have completed this far:

  1. Register an account for Cisco Jabber Video (required to get the download link for the application).

  2. Install Cisco Jabber Video Client.

  3. Run Cisco Jabber Video Client. This part was problematic until I found out that this application expects to find a copy of ksuser.dll int the system. I located a copy of said DLL from the dlldump.com and put it in ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32 and everything else but video from webcam seems to work.

I'm able to successfully use the webcam without wine. The webcam already works with Skype, Cheese Webcam Viewer, guvcview, luvcview and Flash plugin (both Firefox and Google Chrome). Still the Cisco Jabber Video client running on wine claims that I have no USB webcam installed in the system.

I also tried to add devenum override and deleted HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/ActiveMovie with regedit as suggested by http://wiki.winehq.org/MSN_Messenger_webcam_support

Can you suggest anything else to get the camera to work? (The reason I even need this stuff is I would need to connect to Cisco TelePresence SX20 hardware on the remote site and it seems that Ekiga is not compatible with that. Ekiga is never able to establish a connection with that thing.)

Update: I forgot to mention the hardware I'm using:

Bus 003 Device 064: ID 045e:075d Microsoft Corp. LifeCam Cinema

Software:

Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS 64-bit (precise with all the updates)
Wine 1.7.18-0ubuntu1 from ubuntu-wine PPA
wine

  1. A large number of cameras have been tested with several versions of Cisco Jabber Video for TelePresence. While Jabber Video should work with all USB cameras, the cameras that the Jabber Video team are using on a regular basis and are guaranteed to perform well are:
