    Great work on Quickly for this release. I hope that development continues as ... quickly ... in the future. Ba dam bam! I'll be here all week. Try the veal!

    No, seriously. Great work.

    First run I got:
    gstreamer-webcam
    libv4lconvert: Error decompressing JPEG: fill_nbits error: need 1 more bits
    The program 'gstreamer-webcam' received an X Window System error.
    This probably reflects a bug in the program.
    The error was 'BadIDChoice (invalid resource ID chosen for this connection)'.
    (Details: serial 224 error_code 14 request_code 1 minor_code 0)
    (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
    that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
    To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
    option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
    backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

    Then trying gstreamer-webcam --sync worked

    Then without --sync it still worked.

    Woot woop.:)
