Description Marcus 2008-07-10 08:01:10 UTC 
Hello! 

I have the problem that I can't use my webcam (a FujiFilm FinePix A340) with the programs Cheese 2.22.1 (http://www.gnome.org/projects/cheese) and Camorama. But it works fine in ekiga.

So I had read the FAQ of Cheese to fix the problem. Accordingly, I opened the gstreamer settings (with the command gstreamer-properties) to configure the webcam. I took the settings from Ekiga, video 4 Linux 2 (v4l2) and USB Web Camera (works fine there with chanel 0 and PAL Format) and choose the same in the gstreamer-properties-window: Plugin: Video for Linux 2, Device: USB Web Camera. (There are no switches or fields to fill out a format or something... the forwardingline is "v4l2src device="/dev/video1"")

Now I pushed the Test-Button and a error-massage appear:

gstreamer-properties-Message: Error running pipeline 'Video for Linux 2 (v4l2)': Could not negotiate format [gstbasesrc.c(2359): gst_base_src_start (): /pipeline8/v4l2src9:
Check your filtered caps, if any]

The Cheese FAQ mean it could be a bug in gstreamer, because the camera works fine with another programm. I tryed the solution tips in the FAQ too, but they could not solve my problem.


Sorry for my weak english, its not the best ;-)

With best regards
Marcus :-)

Does this also happen with
gst-launch-0.10 v4l2src ! ffmpegcolorspace ! xvimagesink
?

If so please attach the (bzipped) output of

GST_DEBUG=5 gst-launch-0.10 v4l2src ! ffmpegcolorspace ! xvimagesink
