Hi John,<div><br></div><div>I've found my little minicom usb camera / mic device. It does not get mounted by PCManFM, but does appear if I check </div><div><br></div><div><div>phillw@piglet:~$ ls /dev/video*</div><div>
/dev/video0</div></div><div><br></div><div>Which changes to</div><div><br></div><div><div>phillw@piglet:~$ ls /dev/video*</div><div>/dev/video0 /dev/video1</div></div><div><br></div><div>when I plug it in.</div><div><br>
</div><div>I suspect that as my device is a real dumb web-cam, has yours got in built memory? If it has, then that would explain it being mounted as a storage device.</div><div><br></div><div>I'm following the hints and tips from the wiki area [1] The Multimedia guys on the forum are far better placed to assist you[2].</div>

<div>I'm in no way any expert on this, but IIRC, when I plugged my
USB webcam in a few cycles ago, it launched Cheese and not
PCManFM. Things will have changed and my laptop as of them is no
longer, this one has a built in one. If you have a link to
Entangle I'd be happy to install it & see how it gets on.</div>

<div>from what you describe I think PCManFM is being
maybe just a little too eager to mount anything
that arrives in a USB port. As such, I'd suggest
raising a bug against PCManFM in the first
instance, it can always get re-allocated once the
dev-team have had chance to look into it.</div>
