The default gst-uninstalled script didn't point at the uninstalled PTP helper - added that.

Should it be .libs/gst-ptp-helper or gst-ptp-helper I wonder? (cf. plugin scanner two lines up)

Both unfortunately :) You need to use the .libs one because you need to setcap/setuid the real executable (if the libtool wrapper script is setcap/setuid this won't be inherited by the child process). But on some platforms (Windows!) the wrapper script will be called gst-ptp-helper while the real executable is gst-ptp-helper.exe

Does gst-uninstalled work on Windows?
Comment 4 Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2015-09-26 09:44:22 UTC 
No idea, but gst-ptp-helper does not :) So maybe we can just ignore that
Comment 5 Tim-Philipp Müller 2015-10-20 12:32:44 UTC 
Ok, whatever works...
