Hi Monks,

Well, I've now rebuilt the hardware and everything is cookin' nicely.

I tried $i_frame->{Ctl_Videos_Media}->LoadURI ('file:///dev/video0'); and I no longer get any errors in LogWindow but no picture in the media control.

Update: Oookaaay, now my hardware is compliant with that age-old standard of plugging the webcam in, we have some progress! The progress bar on the application flickers (although not the image) and print $i_frame->{Ctl_Videos_Media}->LoadURI ('file:///dev/video0'); returns "1" but gives error Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_range_set_range: assertion `min < max' failed, so I guess it is accessing the URI, but maybe it is immediately hitting EOF, or something.

Update 2: According to Similar wxPython problem it may be missing GStreamer packages. This sounds like a possibility, so I'm going to try to track this down. If you know what the correct list is, please share :)

Regards

Steve.
