Displaying camera not working

[Iñigo Huguet]

Hi.

I have gotten one frame as you told me

gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src num-buffers=1 device=/dev/video1 ! 
video/x-raw,format=NV12,width=720,height=576 ! filesink 
location=raw_frame.bin

Then, in my computer, I converted it to png:

gst-launch-1.0 -v filesrc location=raw_frame.bin ! videoparse width=720 
height=576 format=GST_VIDEO_FORMAT_NV12 ! videoconvert ! pngenc ! 
filesink location=raw_frame.png

I can see the .png image correctly, so it seems that the driver outputs 
NV12. What can I try now? Maybe I need any additional plugin? (I'm using 
a custom build using Buildroot so I don't have all plugins installed)
