 CameraPlugin in the root activity directory? (Note it does work on the
 XO-1.5)

 > It will be the weekend before I can check it out on the XO myself but
 ensuring the plug-in is found is the first step (since it works on the
 XO-1.5 it probably is). Can you see any errors in the activities log? What
 if you run Scratch via Terminal?

 Ok, nothing in the logs. I did run it from the terminal and there is no
 error message neither. To be more specific: The dialog for taking a
 picture comes up, the light over the camera lens does blink shortly but
 then the live image stays black and hitting the 'take a photo' button
 produces a black picture (sorry if I wasn't as verbose in the initial
 description).

 > I also notice that CameraPlugin is from May which pre-dates the WeDo
 plug-in. We had a clash involving lib exports which prevented the camera
 working alongside the WeDo (but I need to check if CameraPlugin was also
 modified to resolve that problem). This latest Scratch package includes
 "WeDoPlugin-disabled" but I wonder if the "WeDoPlugin" lib/file is still
 on your XO-1 from previous install?

 Don't think so. I do reflash the machine as well for testing.

 > Sorry I cannot be of more immediate help but if you can check the above
 maybe we can find the problem today.

 Thanks for taking the time! We already advanced a bit.

 > Btw, is this v1.6 release from MIT/ John Maloney?

 Yes, it is v16 from John's repository. I gave v14 as well a shot to see if
 there was a regression, but had the same symptoms.
