** Description changed: Start cheese on the current Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Beta. 640x480 works correctly. 1280x720 video fails with "There was an error playing video from the webcam" I suspect the problem is in libjpeg or video4linux, but cannot be sure. I am happy to compile anything and I will reply to this issue generally same day. ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu Xenial Xerus (development branch) Release: 16.04 ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ apt-cache policy cheese cheese: - Installed: 3.18.1-2ubuntu2 - Candidate: 3.18.1-2ubuntu2 - Version table: - *** 3.18.1-2ubuntu2 500 - 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages - 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status + Installed: 3.18.1-2ubuntu2 + Candidate: 3.18.1-2ubuntu2 + Version table: + *** 3.18.1-2ubuntu2 500 + 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages + 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status - - Workaround for Google Hangouts: Click the "Quality"/"Phone Reception" icon and disabled HD Video. + Workaround for Google Hangouts: Click the "Quality"/"Phone Reception" + icon and disable HD Video.
