Hi Anon,

Thanks for this. I didn't have LogWindow installed, so I just did that and I get: 

21:56:14: Error: gst_error_callback
Error Message:Invalid URI "/dev/video0".
Debug:gstplaybasebin.c(1666): gen_source_element (): /GstPlayBin:play
 (error 0: Success)
21:56:14: Error: wxGStreamerMediaBackend::Load - Could not set initial
+ state to ready (error 0: Success)

I guess it doesn't like the /dev/video0. Maybe it really expects a URL, but assuming it means a URI, then should I just put my computer name in front of it like this? steve-desktop/dev/video0 because that doesn't work either.

Do you know what format is correct?

Thanks and regards

Steve.

PS I tried the strace, but it gave me pages and pages of info. I'll have a go at filtering it down, and post it here.
