I'm unable to set the camera in the settings, and it just shows me an empty dropdown despite having a webcam connected.

Settings for mGBA showing empty camera

Things I've tried:

  • I have set the driver Camera driver to None (still image) and then back to Qt Multimedia, restarted mgba, restarted the computer.
  • I've tried running this on the current as well as the development builds but both have the same behaviour.
  • I've tried running the 0.9.3 version from snap which also had the same behaviour.
  • Trying to run roms that use the camera anyway makes it show what seems like a stock webcam photo.
  • I'm running this on a Ubuntu 22.04, and I've installed qtcreator qtbase5-dev qt5-qmake libqt5multimedia5 but that did not result in any changes.
  • Changing the audio driver to Qt Multimedia and video to Qt makes loading a rom crash.
  • Under the default settings the rom loads up and runs fine, which makes me think the issue is specific to Qt.
  • I was unable to find any additional details in the README, the website, or the forum about if I need to install a specific Qt package, or if mgba uses qt6 instead of qt5.

Additional details:

  • Running this on a System76 Galga Pro laptop.
  • I've tried this with the built in webcam (Bisoncam nb pro), Logitech HD C920, as well as a Fujifilm X-T5. All of these are detected by OS and I'm able to access the video feed in other applications.
  • I'm primarily testing this with Photo! but I've tried other roms that also use the camera.

Build: 0.10.3
OS: Ubuntu 22.04
CPU: 12th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-1260P
GPU: Mesa Intel® Graphics (ADL GT2)

How is this installed? I wonder if snap or whatever is breaking it via sandboxing.

@endrift I installed it using apt with the .deb files provided in the releases for my version of Ubuntu. I only tried snap install at the very end after trying out everything else.
