Hi
I have a local webcam and when setup it works great.
However, if the PC restarts the webcam does not work, I get the following message in the log.
If I run Cheese it shows an image ok.
I did a search through the forum and there have been similar errors but not a solution.
Thanks

Re: webcam fails to startup after PC restart
Just to close this issue.
I resolved it by changing the Capture Pallet from Auto to a non auto setting YUV. Not sure what YUV it was but avoiding the auto setting fixed the startup issue. Now both local webcams startup every time. Happy days.
