Bug#281215: gnomemeeting: V4L transmition no longer works

[David Ramsden]

Package: gnomemeeting
Version: 1.0.2-5
Severity: normal


Ever since a dist-upgrade, my webcam hasn't been working properly under
Gnomemeeting.
It's a Logitec QuickCam express using the quickcam drivers from the
SourceForge website.

I am able to see video streams OK but my transmition stream is garbled.
Applications such as xawtv (xawtv -c /dev/video0) and motion still get
the video stream fine. It just seems to be a problem with Gnomemeeting.

Maybe something needs to be recompiled because a V4L library got updated
or something?

David.
