Webcam not working

[bluegroper]

Hi forum
I'm trying to do the "work from home" thing.
Found an old Logitech webcam amongst the spares. Trying to get the camera working in CentOS (with KDE/Plasma desktop)
When I plug in the Webcam, I gets the following in dmesg :

# dmesg
[1299279.060795] usb 2-1.1: new full-speed USB device number 24 using ehci-pci
[1299279.143105] usb 2-1.1: New USB device found, idVendor=046d, idProduct=08d9, bcdDevice= 1.00
[1299279.143109] usb 2-1.1: New USB device strings: Mfr=0, Product=0, SerialNumber=0

[1299280.031551] input: gspca_zc3xx as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-1/2-1.1/input/input21

And lsusb detects the device :

# lsusb
Bus 002 Device 024: ID 046d:08d9 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam IM/Connect

Not sure why hwinfo thinks its a TV card needing an audio driver ?

# hwinfo --usb
....

Hello
a quick test, try opening /dev/video0 with cheese, vlc, mplayer or mpv
For mpv (and probably mplayer) you can run from cli but vlc needs to open media > open capture device, I have a built in webcam so not sure if a usb one is still in /dev/video0
Also my webcam uses "video for linux" v4l2, I have libv4l and xorg-x11-drv-v4l installed and the cli output when played/quit with mpv says "[ffmpeg/demuxer] video4linux2,v4l2: Some buffers are still owned by the caller on close." which would suggest ffmpeg is also required.
Don't bother with totem/videos, I just can't get it to work.
Edit: ok I just found an old playstation 2 usb webcam and that is /dev/video1 and only seems to work with vlc.
