It should now be fixed with the new VideoService.py and
VideoProducerService.py I posted in another email.

That's just harmless stderr output from /usr/bin/v4lctl. I think I'm going
to modify Config.py in the
/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/AccessGrid/Platform/unix directory, so that
it provides more userfreindly feedback, which includes redirecting the
stderr of /usr/bin/v4lctl to /dev/null.

Do you mean with VideoProducer, the vic video thumbnail is muted (there is a
mute toggle button next to each of the video thumbnails in vic)? If that's
what you mean, then that's a feature rather than a bug.
