Hi there,
My webcam is a logitech quickcam pro for notebooks (2007). It works well and out of the box on a fresh openSUSE 11.1 installation (UVC video driver). However, when I try to update my gstreamer packages from packman in order to enable dvd playback (which I currently lack!) Cheese stops working with my webcam. It displays an error:
$ cheese &
(cheese:6639): GStreamer-WARNING **: Failed to load plugin '/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstcacasink.so': /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstcacasink.so: undefined symbol: caca_dither_bitmap
Immediately followed by color bars displayed on cheese's window.
I tried installing just the caca library, but though it stopped displaying the message,cheese still doesn’t work.
If I downgraded gstreamer to the packages found in the official openSUSE 11.1 repos I get it working again.
For this reason I have been unable to download gstreamer bad plugins and I have dvd playback (even though I have libxine1, w32-codecall and libdvdcss)
Does anyone know how to work around this issue?
