Comment 1 Jeffrey C. Ollie 2008-11-10 05:01:31 UTC
Please report this upstream.  PiTiVi uses the Gnome bugzilla to track requests:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/

If there's a patch I can pull from upstream or a new release I'd be more than happy to take a look and update the PiTiVi package, but I'm not in a position at this time to develop a fix myself.

Please post a link to the bug in the Gnome bugzilla so that I can track the progress of a fix.

Comment 2 Alexander Ovcharenko 2008-11-10 19:04:56 UTC
I've created bug report in Gnome bugzilla: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=560209

Comment 3 Bug Zapper 2008-11-26 05:06:14 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle.
Changing version to '10'.

Comment 4 Jeffrey C. Ollie 2009-10-09 13:24:21 UTC
Alexander, have you tried this in F-11?  There have been a number of updates to gstreamer and pitivi in F-11 and you may have better luck.  I think that pitivi in F-10 is stuck at an older version because gstreamer and gnonlin are stuck at older versions.  I'm going to close this as CANTFIX but if you are still having problems in F-11 please reopen the ticket and change the version to F-11.

Comment 5 Alexander Ovcharenko 2009-10-09 20:13:56 UTC
Yes, I've tried PiTiVi v0.13.3 but it still not work with my webcam. The option "Project"->"Import from Webcam..." even not enabled now. I'll reopen bug in bgo.

Comment 6 Jeffrey C. Ollie 2009-11-02 20:43:23 UTC
Alexander, any news from upstream?

Comment 7 Alexander Ovcharenko 2009-11-07 21:37:29 UTC
No news :( Maybe we need to involve someone specializing on webcameras. Probably Hans de Goede could help?

Comment 8 Bug Zapper 2010-04-27 12:19:43 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 11.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '11'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 9 Fedora Admin XMLRPC Client 2010-08-22 00:54:42 UTC
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
