[SailfishDevel] LED Flash functionality on a real Jolla

[christopher.lamb at thurweb.ch]

Hi Mohammed

I have been trying to implement your suggestion, but am still having  
problems ...

The Nokia code quoted in my original post did not have an explicit  
sink (and on the N9 worked without one). But following the tutorial in  
the link below I have added one to the my code.

http://docs.gstreamer.com/display/GstSDK/Basic+tutorial+2%3A+GStreamer+concepts

The code compiles and runs, but the LED does not respond. On startup I  
get errors like:

"
(GSTTorch:14916): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: Object class  
GstDroidCamSrc doesn't implement property 'scene-mode' from interface  
'GstPhotography'

(GSTTorch:14916): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: Object class  
GstDroidCamSrc doesn't implement property 'noise-reduction' from  
interface 'GstPhotography'
...more of the same ...

"

I confess that I have not yet fully understood the Gstreamer  
architecture, so my code is very much "best guess" attempt.

thanks for your help,

Chris
