Hi,

Can you try using the latest version first and see if the issue is the same?

There is a new version of webcamd, now webcamd-3.5.1.2.tar.bz2, ready for 
testing. Port can be found here:

svn --username anonsvn --password anonsvn \
      checkout svn://svn.turbocat.net/i4b/trunk/ports

NOTE: You need to install new cuse4bsd-kmod module first, because new API's 
were added.

Please test and report back!

Changes:

x) Webcamd and cuse4bsd has new video and DVB unit allocation management. Unit 
numbers should now be all back to back, /dev/video0, /dev/video1 .... etc

x) Updated to latest Linux Media Tree sources v3.5
