GStreamer decklinksrc doesn't work with v4l2loopback

I have Blackmagic intensity pro capture card and GoPro Hero 3 connected to it with HDMI.

I have installed v4l2loopback to /dev/video0.

Trying to capture video with decklinksrc to v4l2sink:

gst-launch decklinksrc mode=8 connection=1 ! ffmpegcolorspace ! v4l2sink device=/dev/video0 sync=false

If I use mplayer:

 mplayer tv:// -tv device=/dev/video0

It works perfect, but Skype shows video0 as black screen. Cheese and flash don't show this device at all.

How can I get it work as webcam in flash and skype?

If mplayer shows the video nicely and skype doesn't, then chances are high that you really hit a bug in skype (and/or flash).

Both skype and flash are known to be a bit botchy in their v4l2 imlementation.

Having said that, make sure that you are using a recent enough version of v4l2loopback (according to the NEWS-file, you should have at least version 0.6.3), as this will contain some hacks to make skype and flash work.
