           Summary: gstreamer v4l2src fails with device=
    Classification: Platform
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: 0.10.35
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-plugins-base
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: bugzilla at anarres.org
         QAContact: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
     GNOME version: ---


I have only one video device, it is /dev/video0.

This works:

$ gst-launch 'v4l2src ! xvimagesink'
Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...
Pipeline is live and does not need PREROLL ...
Setting pipeline to PLAYING ...
New clock: GstSystemClock
(video plays)

This does not work:

$ gst-launch 'v4l2src device=/dev/video0 ! xvimagesink'
Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...
Pipeline is live and does not need PREROLL ...
Setting pipeline to PLAYING ...
New clock: GstSystemClock
ERROR: from element /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstV4l2Src:v4l2src0: Internal data
flow error.
Additional debug info:
gstbasesrc.c(2582): gst_base_src_loop ():
/GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstV4l2Src:v4l2src0:
streaming task paused, reason not-linked (-1)
Execution ended after 2532703705 ns.
Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...
Setting pipeline to READY ...
Setting pipeline to NULL ...
Freeing pipeline ...

This means that I cannot read from video1, or use v4l2loopback or anything,
since gstreamer apparently cannot deal with the device= setting.

For the record, here is part of gst-inspect v4l2src:
