Media addon not always loaded when running in vmplayer

[emitrax]

When I run Haiku with vmplayer and boot with my usb webcam attached, the usb_webcam.media_addon is loaded randomly. I also tried to plug it during the boot but the result is the same. On real hardware though, it is always loaded. I don't know if this is either a media bug or a usb one.

attach output of:

ls -R -l /dev/bus/usb

for both cases (detected, not detected)

Looks like an USB bug since the 0 entry is missing when not detected.

reassigning to someone who might know how to help :)

Is this still reproducible? If so could you add a serial log with USB tracing enabled? There will probably be relevant information like not able to address the device or failing to configure etc.

Unfortunately I don't have my webcam here with me. Can't test it until July.

I booted a couple of times and problem seems to be gone.

However, the media server does not unload the add when unplugging the webcam, neither to it loaded if load the webcam while the system is up and running. I need to restart the media server to let it rescan for new devices. Plus, as shown in the picture attached, some drawn problems seems to have raised.

Shall I open a different ticket for loading/unloading addons ?

[mmlr]

I would prefer if you could open a bug or enhancement for the load/unload. Probably the media server or the respective add-on does not yet employ node-monitoring to detect the device change. Closing this ticket as the original problem (the device not being published) seems gone. Thanks for the update.
