Hi!

First, I re-did pipeline setup in python, it seems slightly less hacky
then in shell.

I tried to modify fcam-dev to work with the new interface, but was not
successful so far. I can post patches if someone is interested
(mplayer works for me, but that's not too suitable for taking photos).

I tried to get gstreamer to work, with something like:

class Camera:
    gst="/usr/bin/gst-launch"
    def __init__(m):
        pass

    def run(m):
        if 0 != subprocess.call(
                [m.gst, "-v", "--gst-debug-level=2",
#                 "v4l2src", "device=/dev/video2", "num-buffers=3", "!",                     
#                 "video/x-raw-yuv,width=864,height=656", "!",                               
                 "v4l2src", "device=/dev/video6", "num-buffers=3", "!",
                 "video/x-raw-yuv,width=800,height=600,format=(fourcc)UYVY", "!",
# ,format=(fourcc)YU12                                                                       
                 "ffmpegcolorspace", "!",
                 "jpegenc", "!",
                 "filesink", "location=delme.jpg" ]):


But could not get it to work so far.

Best regards,
