** Description changed:
Binary package hint: cheese
Using Jaunty on a sony vaio laptop VGN-FE31H, cheese crashes when trying
to record a video with the following message:
"** Message: Error: Le flux ne contient aucune donnée.
gsttypefindelement.c(786): gst_type_find_element_activate ():
/GstPlayBin:play/GstDecodeBin:decodebin0/GstTypeFindElement:typefind:
Can't typefind empty stream
** (cheese:13098): WARNING **: could not generate thumbnail for
/home/valerie/Vidéos/Webcam/2009-05-16-210337.ogv (video/ogg)
"
More specifically:
- The video is displayed fine
- When the record button is pressed, the image turn greenish and the program
crashes.
The only way to abort the program is to kill the process.
I successfully could record video on the same laptop using wxCam with
the type of image set to YUYV (in case it helps). Also gstreamer-
properties doesn't return any error, and displays the video correctly if
I use l4v2. If I try using l4v1 the image turns green and freezes.
Here is the version of cheese used:
apt-cache policy cheese
cheese:
Installé : 2.26.0-0ubuntu1
Candidat : 2.26.0-0ubuntu1
Table de version :
*** 2.26.0-0ubuntu1 0

- Finally I'd like to add that the exact same problem occuured to another
person:

+ Update: I found that I could not record sound using the default app
+ bundled with jaunty (can't rememeber the name). After playing a while
+ with Alsa settings I finally got it working. One of the configuration
+ problems was that the recording source was set to PCM instead of the
+ internal microphone.
+
+ When that worked I found that I could record video with sound with no
+ problems using cheese. So it seems that Cheese did hang when it couldn't
+ capture the audio. This shouldn't happen, instead a warning could be
+ displayed saying that no audio will be captured and explaining how to
+ fix this.
