In the sketch, as in [Processing can't find the camera - Video Libraries don't work - #13 by neilcsmith](https://discourse.processing.org/t/processing-cant-find-the-camera-video-libraries-dont-work/25128/13)

This will bypass the camera detection code in the library, which can have issues, and use whatever GStreamer can find by default. It might show you a test source instead, which would help narrow down where the issue is.
