Re: gstreamer + vivid

Hello Michael,
Thak you for your replay.
It seems that my vivid video device is an output device, but it still
complains it is not.
any idea ?



1. The error i get :video2 is not an output device
gst-launch-1.0 -v multifilesrc location=./%04d.png loop=1
caps="image/png,framerate=30/1" ! pngdec ! videoconvert !
"video/x-raw,format=YUY2" ! v4l2sink device=/dev/video2

Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...
ERROR: from element /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstV4l2Sink:v4l2sink0: Device
'/dev/video2' is not a output device.
Additional debug info:
