Description of problem: I have a Logitech c525 HD webcam. When I start Cheese, it takes about 30 seconds to start. Once Cheese has started, the video looks OK and it seems responsive. If I try to take a photo, it seems to work but no photo appears in the bottom area of the window. If I try to record a video, Cheese's UI stops responding. I see the following messages printed to stdout. I can still exit Cheese by clicking on the X button in the titlebar. (It takes a while for it to close as well.) ** (cheese:9093): WARNING **: Could not get buffers from device '/dev/video0'. ** (cheese:9093): WARNING **: Could not map buffers from device '/dev/video0' ** (cheese:9093): WARNING **: Could not negotiate format ** (cheese:9093): WARNING **: Could not get buffers from device '/dev/video0'. ** (cheese:9093): WARNING **: Could not map buffers from device '/dev/video0' ** (cheese:9093): WARNING **: Could not negotiate format libv4l2: error setting pixformat: Device or resource busy ** (cheese:9093): WARNING **: Device '/dev/video0' is busy ** (cheese:9093): WARNING **: Could not negotiate format Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): cheese-3.4.1-1.fc17.x86_64 How reproducible: Happens every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start Cheese. 2. Click on the Video tab. 3. Click on the button labeled "Record a Video". Actual results: The UI becomes unresponsive. Expected results: The UI should continue to be responsive and Cheese should start recording a video. Additional info: Bus 002 Device 010: ID 046d:0826 Logitech, Inc.
Hi, Does the video preview work when you're not trying to record a video ? Also when you try to record a video does anything show up in the output of the "dmesg" command ? Regards, Hans
