OpenCV not detecting webcam on BeagleBone Black

edit

I have a Logitech C250 webcam attached to a BeagleBone Black. I can capture video just fine with other applications and the light on the camera activates, however OpenCV refuses to open the camera, and no light comes on. the exact same code works with the same camera on my laptop.

As you can see, the camera seems to attach ok, and as I said, it works in other applications.

Any ideas as to what might cause this?
