SKYPE ON C650

[erdem_ua]

I search on it and found many more post about that Skype cam supported on C7000 and C8000 LED TVs.
Since they are same TV HW, your TV could work with those cameras too. There is only disabled feature on your TV. Nothing more.

But I found this information too

1. Title
2010 LED TV firmware for Val 1G (Folder Name: T-VALAUSC, Version : 1035.0)
2. Applicable Model
LED C6400, C6500, C6800, C6900, C7000, C8000
3. Carrier or Corporate Customer
All Customer
4. Description
Support Netflix 2.1 and MLB.tv apps.
Support new TV camera (Model: CY-STC1100)
Add ''3D Optimize'' option on Menu for better 3D image.
And this firmware prevents below issues
. ''USB Power Overload'' message pops up even USB port is not connected
. HDMI ports recognition error and signal loose
. Plug & Play is displayed whenver turning on TV.

If this is correct, that means, for running this camera, you need T-VALAUSC 1035.0 firmware, which is latest and restricted one. I think it's same for UE TVs. T-VALDEUC-3009.2...
Unfortunatelly, this one restricted too.

I looked into it and found that rootfs and kernel images also changed by update. Searched for skype cam kernel modules but couldn't found anything about it.
Than analyzed exeDSP and I realized that, exeDSP has whole skype program! So skype widget is just dummy gold. I don't know that it makes but exeDSP makes whole job.

Searched more and find interesting article at here.
Probably what it is for make your camera work under C650 and Plazma ones!

Edit: Who want to experiment and wikify this solution?
Edit2: At article, it says "In our experiments, the camera supported only SD resolutions."

Ah, It's that what I thought. Congratulations Palmerama. Could you wikify this? I open the page:
Specially with pictures and step by step installation to make understand from everyone.
I will enable your wiki editor account after you created one..
Thanks

Does not exist any other, cheaper, webcam with same chipset?
Maybe TV would recognize it

[erdem_ua]

No. They pricey because has h264 encoder chip in it (and with their license...). So other cams will be near same price tag that I believe...

[erdem_ua]

Notice that, you can also enable PVR again with pressing FACTORY and 3SPEED buttons at Service Menu. Search our forum. You can easily find it...
