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.
