Works for me.

I have to wait around 10 to 15 seconds before video display is working :(

So, looks like it was not really a bug. Just a "cheese have to be rebuilt against new gstreamer version" bug.

FTR cheese 3.20.2-1 with gstreamer 1.9 works well as well, here.

If you're seeing such an extreme regression in start time, file a bug with GStreamer at:
