I have the same problem using a Realtek cam on a 2015 Razer Blade 14". When I start cheese, I get some half video for a couple seconds then it dies with:
libv4l2: error got 4 consecutive frame decode errors, last error: v4l- convert: libjpeg error: End Of Image (cheese:14656): cheese-WARNING **: Internal data flow error.: gstbasesrc.c(2865): gst_base_src_loop (): /GstCameraBin:camerabin/GstWrapperCameraBinSrc:camera_source/GstBin:bin17/GstV4l2Src:video_source: streaming task paused, reason error (-5) The camera is: Bus 001 Device 006: ID 0bda:579f Realtek Semiconductor Corp. I have more camera info here if someone is interested: http://askubuntu.com/questions/662274/webcam-only-works-with-luvcview# The camera works perfectly with luvcview. The camera fails with cheese in default settings, but sorta works if I go into preferences and choose 1280x720 resolution for images and video and restart cheese. I still get a horizonal line in the video near the bottom though. The camera fails with the gumwrapper example in Firefox. https://github.com/tagawa/GumWrapper The camera looks scrambled on the same example in chromium, very similar to if I had chosen 640x480 in cheese as the camera resolution. Using ubuntu 14.04.3. Cheese fails with default kernel as well as 4.0 vivid kernel. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1295247 Title: Cheese says "There was an error playing video from webcam" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cheese/+bug/1295247/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
