@AwesomeHaircut: You just have to add readlink and it won't affect the installation in arch. MODPATH=$(readlink -f "/usr/lib/modules/$(uname -r | sed 's/.[0-9]+-[0-9]+//')/extramodules")

I don't want to say "Manjaro is not supported" but that's what is officially true. The module loading is depended on where you have your extra modules folder that can be, and probably is, different on manjaro. I have to make sure it works on Arch first and foremost. I just don't have time to install manjaro right now to test.

Having said that, you can load the module manually by going into the source directory no matter which distro you're using. I won't be making any changes, but I'll make a short tutorial for manjaro, as well if you're using a kernel that has a different extra modules folder.

@androide7461 and @montefuscolo -- thanks - now it is connected

Now i just have to figure out how to use it.

thanks again

@TecMunky: Try the solution from @montefuscolo. It worked for me. There are no errors what so ever now. Thanks @montefuscolo!

@tomvigl - I got the same error @androide7461 got when executing the "modprobe" command -- "modprobe: FATAL: Module v4l2loopback_dc not found in directory /lib/modules/5.5.13-1-MANJARO"

what now?

@android7461 - that is not what I meant - but I don't use yay. I simply deleted the entire droidcam directory, then extracted the snapshot again, edited the build file, then executed the make command.

Also, I did not get any errors during installation. My error came when I executed the modprobe command.

I had to modify this line on Manjaro Linux, running kernel 5.4

MODPATH="/usr/lib/modules/extramodules-$(uname -r | sed 's/.[0-9]\+-[0-9]\+//')"

@TecMunky I deleted my cache with "yay -Sc" and reinstalled with "yay --editmenu -S droidcam". I hope this was the way you meant. But now I get this error when I'm installing it: "insmod: ERROR: could not insert module /lib/modules/5.5.13-1-MANJARO/extramodules/v4l2loopback_dc.ko.gz: Unknown symbol in module error: command failed to execute correctly" It's installed nonetheless. But when I try to open it I get the same error as TecMunky. Then I checked if the module is loaded like tomvigl said with: "lsmod | grep v4l2loopback_dc". It returns nothing, so I guess it's not loaded. After that I write: "modprobe v4l2loopback_dc" and get this error: "modprobe: FATAL: Module v4l2loopback_dc not found in directory /lib/modules/5.5.13-1-MANJARO". Which makes kind of sense because I think it wasn't installed properly.

You have to check if the module is loaded: lsmod | grep v4l2loopback_dc If not - add the module with: modprobe v4l2loopback_dc
