Hello,

I'm not an expert by all means on all of this. But my aim is to try to get my N900 video camera streaming to my laptop and defined as a dev/video device on my linux box so i can use it with video chat.

Now after some research I tried 2 ways to achieve this but I hit deadends:

- I tried to stream an Rtp stream (using gst-launch) to my laptop and catch it using Mencode (saving it to dev/device0). The use of this method needs a video loopback device to be installed. Something like AVLD.

- Another thing I tried is sending a stream (using gst-launch) to my laptop and catching it with also a gst-launch command but this time i tried to use v4l2sink device=dev/device0.

I don't know if this is a bug or not, but I'm way too tired to fiddle with this some more (it's been 5 hrs )

Anyway if any of you peeps would like more info on what i tried to do, do ask Hope this helps!

Best Regards,

Karimko
