regression from 1.2.5 to 1.2.6 for camera listing

  • PipeWire version (pipewire --version):
  • Distribution and distribution version (PRETTY_NAME from /etc/os-release):
  • Desktop Environment:
  • Kernel version (uname -r):

Description of Problem:

Starting with v1.2.6 pipewie is not able to make all cameras available. v.1.2.5 solves the problem

How Reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Update to v1.2.6
  2. Install Chromium and Firefox (more browsers also affected, though)
  3. Attach more than 1 camera (I have 1 built into the laptop lid and one on USB port)
  4. Check both are recognized with command line "v4l2-ctl --list-devices"
  5. Enable pipewire support in both browsers: chrome://flags/#enable-webrtc-pipewire-camera for Chromium, media.webrtc.camera.allow-pipewire for Firefox
  6. Start Chromium and go to chrome://settings/content/camera
  7. Start firefox and go to https://webcamtests.com/ and give authorization to access the camera (can be used also with chromium)

Actual Results:

Step #3 shows all cameras as available Steps #5 (closed) and #6 (closed) show only 1 camera

Expected Results:

Step #3 shows all cameras as available Steps #5 (closed) and #6 (closed) show all cameras as available
