This issue occurs as well if cheese is started. (the camera had to be installed first via https://github.com/patjak/bcwc_pcie/wiki/Get-Started - refer to bug #1715717).
The image is tinted magenta (the green channel is not captured). However taking a still works fine (all channels are captured giving correct imaging). Thus I presume the issue has something to do with video en- and decoding. (I tried the camera under macOS and it works fine). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to gstreamer1.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1716601 Title: video decoders don't work correctly Status in gstreamer1.0 package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Playing videos sometimes just displays black images (audio coming in clearly) or with one colour channel missing (magenta tint mostly). Tried with several videos, there seems to be no pattern (avi as well as mpeg, different encoders). A significant amount of first calls (after waiting a period of minutes) brings up black (no video).
