Hi,

I'm using iMX6S (Ubuntu 16.04) with Logitech C270 Webcam and trying to record a video from webcam with GStreamer. But I always got error like:

ERROR: v4l2 capture: slave not found!

WARNING: erroneous pipeline: could not link imxv4l2src0 to vpuenc_h264-0

I'm using this:

gst-launch-1.0 imxv4l2src device=/dev/video1 num-buffers=300 typefind=true ! 'video/x-h264,format=(string)UYVY,width=1280,height=720,framerate=(fraction)15/1' ! vpuenc_h264 ! mp4mux ! filesink location=output.mp4

Did I missing something or wrong position something ? I refer to i.MX Linux® User's Guide.

UPDATE:

I also try with by adding videoconvert and change 'video/x-h264' to 'video/x-raw'

gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src device=/dev/video1 num-buffers=300 ! 'video/x-raw,format=(string)UYVY,width=1280,height=720,framerate=(fraction)15/1' ! videoconvert ! vpuenc_h264 ! mp4mux ! filesink location=output.mp4

And still get error:

ERROR: v4l2 capture: slave not found!

As I mention above, I use webcam Logitech C270. So It's can not use with MIPI (as I know). Do you have any idea ?
