GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 470502
Ricoh Webcam not working
Last modified: 2007-09-20 18:13:41 UTC
Please describe the problem: I have a Sony Vaio AR with a integrated Ricoh webcam. The cam works with this driver: http://lsb.blogdns.net/ry5u870 It's working under Ekiga, camorama and xawtv (I haven't tested more programs) but not under Gstreamer. When I launch gnome-properties the cam is listed correctly under "Video 4 Linux" and "Video 4 Linux 2" as "Sony VGP-VCC2 (Vaio AR) #1" but the Test button displays the following error: "Video 4 Linux 2 (v4l2): Could not negotiate format". I'm not sure if this is a driver related issue or a gstreamer one, but as the cam is working on other apps... Steps to reproduce: 1. Open gstreamer-properties 2. Select Video tab 3. Select v4l2 4. Select "Sony VGP-VCC2 (Vaio AR) #1" 5. Hit "Test" under "Default Input" Actual results: Application displays the following error: "Video 4 Linux 2 (v4l2): Could not negotiate format". Expected results: Video from webcam is shown Does this happen every time? Yes Other information: lsusb reports: Bus 005 Device 004: ID 05ca:1834 Ricoh Co., Ltd
Sorry, when I say: "When I launch gnome-properties" I was saying "When I launch gstreamer-properties"...
can you make and attach a debug log with: GST_DEBUG=*v4l2* gstreamer-properties >debug.log 2>&1
Created attachment 95024 [details] debug.log Here comes...
Just updated to Gnome 2.20 and the bug is now solved. I can now use my webcam with gstreamer-properties and with gstreamer based apps. Thanks!
