getting cheese to work on fedora 10
hi all,
I am running fedora 10 on my acer laptop.
I am trying to get cheese to run on my fedora. Whenever, I start the application it shows the output of the webcam no problem and it also allows me to take photos. But the moment I try any of the effects, it freezes and also trying to record video with the application freezes it.
any clue with that ?
thanks in advance

Is your camera working with the Gstreamer Framework and Video4Linux2 (V4L2) or Video4Linux (V4L). To test this, you can use
Code:
gstreamer-properties
command.

I have just purchased a Creative Live! optia pro webcam and I am experiencing a similar problem. The camera displays it's output in Cheese fine, I can take pictures with it and can add effects no problem, but I can't seem to capture the video. When I start recording the output simply produces a few stills and no sound, it then converts it into a movie and when I play it back it is the correct length but just produces a few stills with a 3 second delay and no sound. Any suggestions, I have tried this on Fedora 10 (my main OS), Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 and Debian Lenny. All gave me a similar final product (although in debian I got some sound).
I have gone through the dependencies list and as far as I can tell I have all of the programs necessary for cheese to run.

On looking through the Cheese help, under FAQ it says that slow playing video is that:
Quote:
You may have set "ximagesink" (X Window System (No Xv)) as video-output.
This means, that your cpu is doing all the work. Change it to "xvimagesink"
(X Window System (X11/XShm/Xv)) in order to let your graphics card do the work.
To change the settings, run gstreamer-properties,
click the Video tab and change the appropriate settings.
|
When I enter gstreamer-properties into the command line I get the following result:
Quote:

I have checked to make sure that I have installed all the plugins for gstreamer available from the repos, but this hasn't solved the problem.
Any ideas?

I downloaded it through the Add/Remove software program on Fedora 10. I did not download it from source.
I can confirm that it is not the webcam as I managed to get Skype working last night and also voice recorder works fine. I also managed to get into gstreamer-properties via a slightly different method.
instead of:
I entered
Quote:
sudo gstreamer-properties
|
The errors went and I was able to change the settings, however it still did not improve the quality of Cheese videos, they show about 3 frames in the space of 6 seconds and no sound.
