Re: MSI StarCam working in vlc only (with poor colors)
thank you again, paulo, for your off-list help. cam is now working
nicely with xawtv, guvcview and skype. the colors slightly improved
during day-light, when artificial light is used they still look bad
though. i fiddled around with just about all v4l controls but couldn't
really fix it. i'll run a comparison with windows driver when i have a
chance.
for others interested: the fix was indeed the quirks mode. i had to
set it like this:
$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/uvcvideo.conf
options uvcvideo trace=15 quirks=2
regards all,

Re: MSI StarCam working in vlc only (with poor colors)
Josef,
white balance temperature and hue controls are being blacklisted in
uvcvideo for all cameras due to a bug in the driver.
A patch fixing the issue was committed recently
(https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/linux-uvc-devel/2009-December/005396.html)
but I'm not sure when it will be available.
These controls if supported by your camera could help improve the image color.
Best regards,
Paulo

Hi,
Could you please try guvcview ( http://guvcview.berlios.de )
Please post me the
Re: MSI StarCam working in vlc only (with poor colors)
You must reload the driver,
rmmod uvcvideo
modprobe uvcvideo
otherwise the quirks want have any effect.
uvcvideo is now mantained in the mercurial repo at linuxtv,
installing v4l-dvb will also install uvcvideo, but if you want, just
follow the instructions on the wiki to compile, but use:
hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/~pinchartl/uvcvideo/
so that you get the very latest (testing) uvc code.
In any case the quirks should be enough:

are you sure with the web-page? i cannot see a relationship between
dvb and uvcvideo. shouldn't i download the most recent driver from
http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/#download ?
thank you,

Hi, could you try the following:
echo 2 /sys/module/uvcvideo/parameters/quirks
this will set uvcvideo quirks to 2
or you can also try the latest uvcvideo:
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/How_to_Obtain,_Build_and_Install_V4L-DVB_Device_Drivers
please if you can, use the latest version for guvcview (1.2.1) :D
