I'm using Ubuntu 24.04 on a MacBook Pro 2013 13 inch. After running the commands as shown in Camera not working on Macbook Pro, I open the camera and get the message "Could not play camera stream". Debugging info is:

}
I also found this question: How to check available webcams from the command line?, and when I follow the instructions, the camera works from the command line. Also a USB camera works this way.
It looks to me that this means it is not a problem of the drivers. Or am I really wrong?
What can I do to make it work?
