Re: using cheese as universal camera control?



i think joshua is pretty right with it. as cheese is built on top of
gstreamer it doesnt make any sense for me to build some camera settings
into cheese. the right place for that would be gstreamer. you already
can change the settings of your input/output elements within gstreamer
(try using gstreamer-properties). if you want to enhance that dialog
window, that would be great too!
