Public bug reported:
I'm running the hardy beta, and on my Acer 5920, the Crystal Eye webcam
doesn't work.
gstreamer-properties seems to detect the webcam, but here are the errors
I get when I select it as a v4l device and press the 'Test' button:
gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'artsdsink'
gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'esdsink'
gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'sdlvideosink'
gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'v4lmjpegsrc'
gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'qcamsrc'
gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'esdmon'
gstreamer-properties-Message: Error running pipeline 'Video for Linux (v4l)':
Could not get/set settings from/on resource. [v4l_calls.c(409):
gst_v4l_set_chan_norm (): /pipeline0/v4lsrc2:
Error setting the channel/norm settings: Invalid argument]
And here's what happens when i select it as a v4l2 device:
gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'artsdsink'
gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'esdsink'
gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'sdlvideosink'
gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'v4lmjpegsrc'
gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'qcamsrc'
gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'esdmon'
gstreamer-properties-Message: Error running pipeline 'Video for Linux 2
(v4l2)': Error starting streaming capture from device '/dev/video0'.
[v4l2src_calls.c(1369): gst_v4l2src_capture_start (): /pipeline0/v4l2src2:
system error: Protocol error]
In Ekiga i just get a green little window
The device is detected at boot by the uvcvideo driver:
[ 27.467615] uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device Acer CrystalEye webcam
(064e:a101)
lsusb identifies the device as such:
Bus 006 Device 002: ID 064e:a101 Suyin Corp.
luvcview -f yuv does work (although i have to start it twice), but
unfortunately gstreamer-properties does not have an option for yuv
