I'm tryng to write a simple intranet videochat script in bash, it just connects 2 pc in a lan trough ssh and using gst-launch the script opens the remote cam and shows the image on the local pc. It's quite easy using a pipe like this: gst-launch v4l2src ! videoscale ! video/x-raw-yuv,width=320,height=240, framerate=30/1 ! ffmpegcolorspace ! jpegenc ! tcpserversink host=$MyIp port=1000 (I use tcp because the router filters udp) That works, but if the remote pc has the cam on a device that is not /dev/vide0 the pipe can't shows the image of the web cam. I have to specify in the pipe    device=/dev/video1. So I tried the autovideosrc option, but no way the pipe is still showing the /dev/video0 device, even if in gstreamer-properties the video input device defined is the usb web cam. How can I do to obtain an automatic detection of the web cam device in the pipe? Thx a lot for your help. luquino. </BODY> </HTML>
