Bug Description
Playing videos sometimes just displays black images (audio coming in clearly) or with one colour channel missing (magenta tint mostly).
Tried with several videos, there seems to be no pattern (avi as well as mpeg, different encoders).
A significant amount of first calls (after waiting a period of minutes) brings up black (no video).

This issue occurs as well if cheese is started. /github. com/patjak/ bcwc_pcie/ wiki/Get- Started - refer to bug #1715717).
(the camera had to be installed first via https:/
The image is tinted magenta (the green channel is not captured).
However taking a still works fine (all channels are captured giving correct imaging).
Thus I presume the issue has something to do with video en- and decoding.
(I tried the camera under macOS and it works fine).
