Recording from USB source broken #654

Closed dideler closed 10 years ago

dideler commented 10 years ago

When I enter record mode (i.e. prepare to record):

(   DEBUG) freeseer.framework.multimedia           : Gstreamer paused.
(   ERROR) freeseer.framework.multimedia           : Resource not found.v4l2_calls.c(497): gst_v4l2_open (): /GstPipeline:player/GstBin:bin2/GstV4l2Src:videosrc:
system error: No such file or directory

I narrowed it down to 9a9f2a3. Can anyone else confirm?

@FranciscoCanas can you investigate when you have time?

I think I have reproduced this:

Start with a brand new plugin.conf file (no configuration saved yet for plugins)
Open freeseer's config tool (ctrl+c), then open the recording page:
Select video passthrough and open the config widget.
Select USB source from the drop-down, but don't open the usb source config widget.

This causes USB source to be configured with a default option, which is currently blank. I will open a PR later today that adds sets a default device for USB source based on available devices on user's system, and will check the other plugins for the potential of having similar issues.

Here's how I reproduce it:

Reset Freeseer's configuration: freeseer config reset configuration
Run Freeseer and open configuration
Select recording tab
Select setup button for video (gears icon)
Change video input to "USB Source"
Prepare to record

I have opened a PR that hopefully fixes this: https://github.com/Freeseer/freeseer/pull/656
