error page: initialization failed you may want to run: sudo modprobe 4l2loopback exclusive_caps=1

Create a bash script for automation of the Iriun Webcam (fix error screen on Linux)

Error page: initialization failed you may want to run: sudo modprobe 4l2loopback exclusive_caps=1

Open Terminal

1. Create bash file (on your home directory)

touch iriun.sh

2. Edit bash file

nano iriun.sh

Paste (Ctrl+Shift+V):

sudo rmmod v4l2loopback && sudo modprobe v4l2loopback exclusive_caps=1

Ctrl + o (save), Enter (ok), Ctrl + X (exit)

3. Make it executable:

sudo chmod +x iriun.sh

4. Every time you want to open the Iriun Webcam run:

./iriun.sh

5. Then, open the application

You can download the iriun.sh on the release page

I recommend reinstalling the 4l2loopback - See how here
