I'm using Ubuntu 15.10 and I can't use the library anymore. When I run a Sketch with Capture, the following error appears:
IllegalArgumentException: No such Gstreamer factory: v4l2src

I tried installing gstreamer0.1-ffmpeg as stated here, however the error message still appears.

I also tried to install @gohai library as stated in #23, also without success. (Maybe it was not clear for me how to install it)

I can't remember when was the last time I could use the library. I have no idea what else I can do.

(I'm about to upgrade to 16.04 but I don't think that will help)
The update didn't work. Any ideas of what can be done?

Your problem is that you don't have the v4l2src plugin for gstreamer0.10 installed. Try installing gstreamer0.10-plugins-good, or similar. In any way, that's an issue with your distribution not the software.

It worked!
Sorry, I knew it had to do with my distribution, however I couldn't find what was the missing dependency.
Thank you very much for pointing me in the right direction!
