Newbie With v4l2sink/v4l2loopback Problem

Other people on the forum have more experience with this card than I. This
seems like a pixel format compatibility issue. First, try this:

export GST_DEBUG=v4l2src:4,GST_PADS:4

Then run your test. This will generate a lot of debugging output and will
list the capabilities that your card is advertising. You can then compare
those caps to v4l2src (gst-inspect v4l2src) and see the issue. Also, report
the version of gstreamer and the other libraries that you are using.

Another strategy is to use the v4l2 utilities (v4l2-ctl) to communicate
directly with the BT878 driver. You can query and ever set supported modes.
