hello,

just to pass on how I was able to use a Point Grey GigE Vision - IP
camera in GEM XUBUNTU 15.04:

i did not have too much time but this is how i got the ip camera working
with GEM:

a) installed the Point Grey FlyCapture SDK from their website:
http://www.ptgrey.com/

I only used it to force the IP address to the camera with the included
flycap program

b) installed ARAVIS via https://github.com/GNOME/aravis

c) installed v4l2loopback via https://github.com/umlaeute/v4l2loopback
   (thanks ioannes - a great piece of software !!)

d) used the aravis gstreamer plugin to send the camera network stream
to /dev/video0 created by v4l2loopback

sudo ./gst-aravis-launch aravissrc ! v4l2sink device=/dev/video0

e) picked up the video in GEM via /dev/video0

the above setup worked like a charm and the gstreamer to /dev/video0
pipe did not crash once within 4 days. frame size 1292*1032

best

Erich
