Hack to flip camera
Asus laptops install the camera upside down - dunno why but someone had to do it.
Make a dummy camera using the instructions to install a v4l2 module[1].
The hack is to create a dummy video device[2] and to feed an vertically flipped stream to it by ruuning ffmpeg -vf "vflip".
Open a root terminal via system terminal
- become root
su -
passwd: XXX
- create dummy video device /dev/video2
modprobe v4l2loopback exclusive_caps=1
- send a flipped stream to it
ffmpeg -f v4l2 -i /dev/video0 -vf "vflip" -f v4l2 /dev/video2
- open the VTC and select dummy video for the camera
