It's worth making sure /dev/video0 actually exists, and a standard webcam viewer can open and view it.

@rak: please do what @lucasw suggests. That is the first thing you should do.

Does your dslr even support being used as a webcam? Linux may not support it even if it can be used as a webcam in Windows.

it might be that your webcam was added as /dev/video1 . Try running ls -l /dev | grep video to see what video devices are on your system.

I tried ls -l /dev | grep video and it give me this answer: crw-rw---- 1 root video 29, 0 Apr 4 14:49 fb0 crw-rw----+ 1 root video 81, 0 Apr 5 09:45 video0
