If its any consolation I am/was also seeing this problem. The only workaround that I ever found was to completely unload the pwc module, and then reload it again.

Hi. I'm using philips webcams in night/daylight environment and they sometimes exhibit 'whiteout' following the night -> day transition. This appears to occur when the light level _gradually_ increases from dawn onwards but the webcam does not automatically adjust to compensate for the increase in light level. I've used the following cameras with the results as indicated: Philips PCVC675K (Vesta) NO PROBLEM Philips PCVC680K (Vesta Pro) NO PROBLEM Philips PCVC840K (ToUcam Pro II) WHITEOUT Philips SPC900NC WHITEOUT I'm currently using the following combinations ( motion 3.2.2, pwc 10.0.8, linux 2.6.13-1.1532_FC4 + PCVC675K & SPC900NC ) ( motion 3.2.3, pwc 10.0.11, linux 2.6.14-1.1644_FC4 + PCVC840K ) The frame rate is set to 10fps If I stop Motion and restart, the webcam adjusts back to the daylight level. How can I trigger the webcams to adjust to the light level without stopping and restarting motion every time.? Is there a way to get PWC to trigger this adjustment automatically? kind regards Chris
