Description Filip Palm 2007-09-15 12:39:37 UTC 
When trying cheese or gstreamer-properties with my new Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000 i get the following messages.

Cheese:
** Message: Probing the webcam, please ignore the following, not applicabable tries
** Message: Error running pipeline 'v4l2src ! fakesink': Kunde inte få buffertar från enheten "/dev/video0". [v4l2src_calls.c(1025): gst_v4l2src_capture_init (): /pipeline0/v4l2src0:
error requesting 0 buffers: Kan inte allokera minne]
** Message: test pipeline for v4l2src failed:
[v4l2src ! fakesink]: Kunde inte få buffertar från enheten "/dev/video0".


gstreamer-properties:
gstreamer-properties-Message: Error running pipeline 'Video for Linux 2 (v4l2)': Kunde inte få buffertar från enheten "/dev/video0". [v4l2src_calls.c(1025): gst_v4l2src_capture_init (): /pipeline0/v4l2src3:

I believe this is fixed in CVS. If you still have the problem with CVS, can you run the app with:

 GST_DEBUG=*v4l2*:5 <appname> >debug.log 2>&1

and then gzip and attach the debug.log file?

I would love to test this but keep getting:
configure: *** checking feature: Video 4 Linux 2 ***
configure: *** for plug-ins: v4l2src ***
configure: WARNING: *** v4l2src pre-configured not to be built
configure: *** These plugins will not be built: v4l2src
Comment 3 Wim Taymans 2007-09-17 21:48:05 UTC 
pass --enable-experimental to autogen.sh
Comment 4 Filip Palm 2007-09-21 16:44:51 UTC 
It works fine now, thanks.
