Snapshot worked for me as well (and with better results than qcam), although not consistently. Depending on the light situation I get a black image or purple tint (with the front camera). The fix suggested in https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/merge_requests/79523 by @rmader does not really solve the purple tint issue consistently.

I'm not using systemd currently though, if that matters.

@rolandlo @cas @tomasoqvist FTR. the only difference that systemd should make here is that it restarts Pipewire if it crashes.

@rmader @rolandlo @cas I upgraded my phone from Edge to Edge/systemd. Maybe it would work from a fresh pmbootstrap install. I will probably try that at some point.

@rolandlo @tomasoqvist @rmader@mastodon.social hmmm interesting i wonder why it works for you and not me

@cas Yes, I installed both libcamera-tools and qcam and rebooted again. Qcam lists front and back cameras, but doesn't seem to be able to access them.
