[Bug 290506] Re: cheese malfunctioning with UVCVIDEO webcams (was cheese doesn't show v4l2 video output and disables output on gstreamer-based apps ran afterwards)

[darkraven]

Can someone update the status on this?

gst-launch v4l2src ! xvimagesink
 and derivatives like it work.  

Its cheese that hangs.

I have a gateway LT21 with Chicony (internal) Electronics webcam.

Noticed that 640x480 is maximum input, 320x240 is standard setting.(well
in windows 7 anyway, which has been removed)

Maybe cheese sets this too high on startup??
I noticed if I load cheese, reset the input size, then reload uvc module as stated above I can capture video.

There is noticeable lagtime, however, on video capture. I get a black
screen when I hit the capture button, but the video does indeed capture
and cheese doesnt lock up when I stop the capture as it did before.

I have the uvcvideo  module now loaded on startup. Thanks for the hints.
