libvpx has been installed, too: libvpx-1.0.0-1.fc17.x86_64 [hans@shalem ~]$ rpm -qf /usr/lib64/gstreamer-0.10/libgstvp8.so gstreamer-plugins-bad-free-0.10.23-6.fc17.x86_64 [hans@shalem ~]$ rpm -q --requires cheese cheese-3.4.2-2.fc17.x86_64 /bin/sh /bin/sh /bin/sh gnome-video-effects gstreamer-plugins-bad-free gstreamer-plugins-good >= 0.10.6-2 libX11.so.6()(64bit) <snip> So somehow gstreamer-plugins-bad-free ism missing from your system even though cheese requires it. rpm --verify cheese should also give an error about it being missing. A simple "yum install gstreamer-plugins-bad-free" should fix this. As to how this got missing, that is something which we will likely never find out. Closing this as nota(cheese)bug. I have the same problem. In addition, I have gstreamer-plugins-bad-free installed. [ayoung@ayoung fedora]$ rpmquery gstreamer-plugins-bad-free gstreamer-plugins-bad-free-0.10.23-2.fc17.x86_64 vp8 seems to be installed: [ayoung@ayoung fedora]$ rpmquery -f /usr/lib64/gstreamer-0.10/libgstvp8.so gstreamer-plugins-bad-free-0.10.23-2.fc17.x86_64 I see the following errors: ** (cheese:1116): CRITICAL **: cheese_camera_create_effects_preview_bin: assertion `error == NULL || *error == NULL' failed ** (cheese:1116): WARNING **: cheese-window.vala:1624: Error: One or more needed GStreamer elements are missing: One or more needed GStreamer elements are missing: vp8enc. running gstreamer-properties brings up test video input and output just fine. Downloaded the srpm and build the code inplace. Gives the same response. run ./configure in BUILD/cheese-3.4.2 gives this snippet: checking for vp8enc GStreamer plugin... not found configure: WARNING: vp8enc was not found. It needs to be installed before Cheese is run The config script in turn runs /usr/bin/gst-inspect-0.10 [ayoung@ayoung cheese-3.4.2]$ /usr/bin/gst-inspect-0.10 | grep 8 rtpvp8: rtpvp8pay: RTP VP8 payloader rtpvp8: rtpvp8depay: RTP VP8 depayloader typefindfunctions: application/x-hls: m3u8 Either cheese needs to switch away from vp8, or gstreamer vp8 support needs to be fixed (In reply to comment #4) > vp8 seems to be installed: > > [ayoung@ayoung fedora]$ rpmquery -f /usr/lib64/gstreamer-0.10/libgstvp8.so > gstreamer-plugins-bad-free-0.10.23-2.fc17.x86_64 That is rather old, we are at gstreamer-plugins-bad-free-0.10.23-6.fc17.x86_64 atm, which is in stable updates now, and the changelog for -4 has: * Tue May 29 2012 Adel Gadllah <adel.gadllah> 0.10.23-4 - Backport upstream patch to fix vp8enc (GNOME #676653, #676245) If gstreamer-plugins-bad-free-0.10.23-6.fc17 fixes this issue, please close this bug. Ok, I see the changelog says May 29, so I guess rather old is a bit over the top :) I now have gstreamer-plugins-bad-free-0.10.23-6.fc17.x86_64 and cheese works. Thanks. |
