Hi, Richard.

Can you try to run the MediaPlayer example in revision #5691?

I added a button (a camera) that displays the contents of the first 
video device (/dev/video0) instead of displaying the contents of a file.

Tell me if it works for you. If it is ok, I will add 
brightness/color/contrast controls to the example.

Then I will eventually write a webcam example based on gstreamer only.

Regards,
