Title:
Pipewire doesn't recognize camera, but does when process is restarted
Status in gnome-snapshot package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in pipewire package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
The Pipewire doesn't recognize the Webcam of my laptop, so the app
Snapshot desn't found a camera, but after I run this command it works:
$ systemctl --user restart pipewire
After that the Snapshot app recognizes the camera.
Another information: if you use Cheese the camera will work, but after your
restart Pipewire you'll find an option on Cheese to change from V4L to Pipewire
camera, option that wasn't found until you restar Pipewire, meaning that the
problem isn't the Snapshot app, but Pipewire itself.
