I think the bug is introduced with gstreamer support for libv4l, since the patch was dropped in a recent upload and when reapplied the bug came back. I don't now why since gst-launch does work with lastest gstreamer upload, but cheese doesn't.
I've writen about this in this other bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libv4l/+bug/260918 -- webcam doesn't work at 640x480, only resolutions lower than 176x144 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/281771 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
