I have installed the mtp-tools suite, and get the following from mtp-detect:- ~$ mtp-detect

Lastly, is it possible to use something other than MTP, which seems to be biased towards music devices?īus 001 Device 005: ID 0bda:0129 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. Is that correct? How can this be arranged? Having looked at various forums and reports, it would seem that the MTP software needs to know the device ID. Neither Cheese nor the GTK UVC viewers can 'see' the Endoscope, and the issue would seem to be that it is not seen as a MTP device:- mtp-probe: bus: 1, device: 8 was not an MTP device (The first device is the laptop's built-in webcam) The Endoscope is recognised as a device: $ ls -l /dev/video*Ĭrw-rw-+ 1 root video 81, 0 Sep 18 21:05 /dev/video0Ĭrw-rw-+ 1 root video 81, 1 Sep 18 22:11 /dev/video1
I have a newly acquired USB Endoscope (aka 'snake camera') which works a treat on a friend's Apple Mac, but does not work on my Dell laptop running 14.04.
