Description Snark 2008-12-20 20:00:23 UTC 
I'm pretty satisfied with my gstreamer video input code except for one thing :
(1) select a video device using gstreamer
(2) enable video preview : it works!
(3) stop video preview
(4) quit ekiga
(5) launch ekiga
(6) enable video preview : it doesn't work!
(7) go in the preferences, select another device, come back to the first device which should have been opened : now it works.

I couldn't find why that was so :-/

It seems it's in the gstreamer video input code : for some reason, the device detection doesn't work on the first run (!).
Comment 2 Snark 2009-01-30 07:14:48 UTC 
Done!
