Hi Kieran,

I've never looked into libcamera before but I love the idea of not
needing to deal with media-ctl pipelines. I don't see a libcamerasrc
in gstreamer 1.20.3 which I'm using. A quick look at the libcamera
docs [1] seems to indicate building from source isn't necessary when
libcamera is installed but I've installed libcamera-tools/libcamera0
and there is still no libcamerasrc shown in gstreamer?

best regards,

Tim
