It's IMO a serious bug in some audio architectures, that they block instead of returning an error if no stream is available for recording. E.g. if I use pulseaudio to grab the output of another program, but no program sends output, it blocks forever. Maybe I should try to get the raw fd and make a select() on this.... > Now, I can go in and set up the audio output just fine. > > I can also capture a video frame!

You should have the video monitor, which should show the current webcam image (see here for a screenshot: http://hirntier.blogspot.com/2009/12/introducing-gmerlin-recorder.html) But since you get no video image in the player (yet), the video preview in the recorder won't work either.

The output plugin should *display* the image instead of overwriting it. Filters are not present as long as you don't request them explicitely. > It is unclear from gmerlin_plugincfg if a filter is turned on or not. Then there is none. We can try the following: In the GUI player, go to the main menu: Video -> Filters. Then hit the "+" button and add the "Force pixelformat" filter. Configure this filter for "24 bpp RGB". In theory this should switch the video output from XVideo to OpenGL. This would help to find out where the problem is. > What do I need to delete to delete my entire gmerlin config files so > that it loads the default? rm ~/.gmerlin/generic/config.xml > Now, it doesn't lock the system.
