I have a built in laptop webcam (/dev/video0), and when I try to open it as a stream, LiVES crashes.

Here is what GDB gave me:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00007fffd4ac31d8 in ?? () from /tmp/livestmp//597893660/dv_decoder.so

    Please try the following:
    go into Preferences -> Decoding, and uncheck the button "Use instant opening when possible"
    then try to open the file again.

    Did the suggestion fix it ?

    I think this is fixed. The problem was likely caused by a crash in dv_decoder when trying to open files without a file extension. If it is still crashing with the latest version (1.2.1) I can reopen this issue.
