+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #523475 +++ +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #523133 +++ Please describe the problem: After recording a video the preview is not reconnected to the webcam. Requires a restart of cheese to make it connect again. Product: Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 Steps to reproduce: 1. Record video. 2. Stop recording. Actual results: Cheese becomes unable to take photos or record videos. Expected results: Video preview is enabled after recording and cheese is able to take photos and record videos. Does this happen every time? Yes Other information: Please consider fixing it so that pressing "Video" also switches the pipeline into video stream mode (lower resolution, faster fps). I don't know if it is possible to add an inactive file sink to the video pipeline and just activating it when the record button is pressed. Or a fake sink and the switching it to a file sink when recording.
