Hi!
We are two students working with matterhorn on Gjøvik University College in
Norway.

When we record from a bluecherry pv-149 the video turns up green when we
view it in Matterhorn.
We have narrowed it down to being a problem with the resolution of the
video. Therefor we want to set the properties for the camera to be something
like this:

*
capture.device.BT878_input0.type=CUSTOM_VIDEO_SRC
capture.device.BT878_input0.customProducer=v4l2src device=/dev/video0 !
video/x-raw-yuv,width=720,height=576 ! ffmpegcolorspace ! queue
capture.device.BT878_input0.flavor=presenter/source
capture.device.BT878_input0.outputfile=Kamera0.mpg
capture.device.BT878_input0.codec=ffenc_mpeg2video
*

When we do this, Matterhorn cant find BT878_input0. We have read that this
can be fixed with adding a src-property like the example under:

*
capture.device.BT878_input0.type=CUSTOM_VIDEO_SRC
capture.device.BT878_input0.customProducer=v4l2src device=/dev/video0 !
video/x-raw-yuv,width=720,height=576 ! ffmpegcolorspace ! queue
*capture.device.BT878_input0.src=/dev/video0*
capture.device.BT878_input0.flavor=presenter/source
capture.device.BT878_input0.outputfile=Kamera0.mpg
capture.device.BT878_input0.codec=ffenc_mpeg2video
*

When we do this Matterhorn finds BT878_input0, but we get the same green
output as when we set the properties to this:

*
capture.device.BT878_input0.type=CUSTOM_VIDEO_SRC
capture.device.BT878_input0.src=/dev/video0
capture.device.BT878_input0.flavor=presenter/source
capture.device.BT878_input0.outputfile=Kamera0.mpg
capture.device.BT878_input0.codec=ffenc_mpeg2video
*

It seems like when the src-property is set, it overrides the
customProducer-property.

We know that the pipeline (v4l2src device=/dev/video0 !
video/x-raw-yuv,width=720,height=576 ! ffmpegcolorspace ! queue) is correct.

Our system:

We run Ubuntu 9.10 on both Matterhorn-server and capture-agent.
linux kernel 2.6.31-22-generic-pae
gstreamer version: 0.10.25-2ubuntu1
Matterhorn 1.0 binary
Capture agent 1.0.0

Any ideas?

Best regards
Simen
