Skype 4 + v4l2loopback does not work.

[imaiden]

I'm attempting to use gstreamer, v4l2loopback and Skype 4.0 on Ubuntu 12.04 64.

I am able to see the video on the skype options but when I try to push the video on a call it causes Skype to coredump. I am trying to work with the Skype developers but at this point cannot solve it from the skype angle.

Update:

I found a user that has modified the v4l2loopback.c to make it work with skype for a particular camera. I use his modified version and I am able to get a distorted picture on skype and skype does not core dump.

Update:

I was able to get skype working by following your advice to use two devices for the format conversion.

Could you write what you used to fix this? I've been fighting with the same issue.
