[Bug 674287] New: Gstreamer fails to use v4l2 webcam
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=674287 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=674287#c0 Summary: Gstreamer fails to use v4l2 webcam Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.4 Version: Factory Platform: i586 OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME AssignedTo: bnc-team-gnome@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: michael_denker@gmx.de QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.2.13) Gecko/20101206 Ubuntu/10.04 (lucid) Firefox/3.6.13 I have a Logitech Notebook Deluxe webcam. Webcam worked flawless under openSUSE 11.3. After Upgrade (not fresh install) to 11.4RC1, the systems level driver of the camera still seems to work: *Start Ekiga *Select in Properties->Video: Input device: Camera PTLIB/V4L2 *Ekiga shows the webcam video when clicking on 'Display images from your camera device'. However, using gstreamer as driver does not work: *Start Ekiga *Select in Properties->Video: Input device: Camera Gstreamer/V4L2 *Ekiga does not show the webcam video when clicking on 'Display images from your camera device'. Pressing the 'Test' Button in gstreamer-properties, Video Tab, selecting the V4L2 camera, yields a dialogue box: 'Video for Linux 2 (v4l2): Could not negotiate format'. Console output in response to clicking the 'Test' button is: 'Could not negotiate format [gstbasesrc.c(2778): gst_base_src_start (): /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstV4l2Src:v4l2src1: Check your filtered caps, if any]' Likewise, programs such as cheese or skype cannot communicate with the webcam (which both worked in 11.3). Testing with a different (newer) Logitech camera (also v4l2) did not show this effect and worked perfectly. Therefore, I suspect it seems to be an issue both hardware and gstreamer specific.

"I can confirm that the solution is to build with libv4l as a dependency. zypper install libv4l-devel rebuild gst-plugins-good
ldd /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstvideo4linux2.so | grep v4l libv4l2.so.0 => /usr/lib/libv4l2.so.0 (0xb756b000) libv4lconvert.so.0 => /usr/lib/libv4lconvert.so.0 (0xb71eb000)"
