Description Adam Hooper 2004-03-02 17:56:33 UTC 
When v4l-conf is not installed, gstreamer-properties still attempt to call
it when I go to 'Test' my v4l source. The output window shows up (meaning
the test works, I suppose) -- the window is simply green and flickering, so
I figure it's tuned to some weird frequency (after installing v4l-conf, the
test window is identical).

Shell output below:

adam@hera:jhbuild$ jhbuild run gstreamer-properties
sh: line 1: v4l-conf: command not found
ERROR         default(23247)
v4l-overlay_calls.c(76):gst_v4l_set_overlay:<v4lsrc0> Executing v4l-conf
failed.

Comment 1 Ronald Bultje 2004-06-03 20:40:58 UTC 
Thomas fixed this.

It should call GST_OBJECT_ERROR() and not GST_ELEMENT_ERROR() and then disable
overlay functionality, though. That goes for a lot of things in the v4l/v4l2
things in general, they call GST_ELEMENT_ERROR() outside data stream context,
which isn't really a good thing.
