Ok, after looking around some more, I find that `gst-launch v4l2src ! ffmpegcolorspace ! xvimagesink` doesn't work because the video chipset and/or driver doesn't support xvideo.
Running `gst-launch v4l2src ! ffmpegcolorspace ! ximagesink` (i.e. using ximagesink instead of xvimagesink) shows the webcam as expected. This suggests to me that it's not a gstreamer problem (as I first thought), but a pipeline setup problem in the applications (Cheese, mousetrap) - where do I look to establish how the pipelines are created? -- gst-launch cannot connect to gspca webcam https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/516051 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gstreamer0.10 in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
