I do have a couple of questions, however, and a comment.Recently I'm trying to make work a Sunplus crappy mini HD USB camera, lsusb list this info related to the device: Picture Transfer Protocol (PIMA 15470) Bus 001 Device 015: ID 04fc:1528 Sunplus Technology Co., Ltd idVendor 0x04fc Sunplus Technology Co., Ltd idProduct 0x1528 bcdDevice 1.00 iManufacturer 1 Sunplus Co Ltd iProduct 2 General Image Devic iSerial 0 ... Using the gspca-2.13.6 on my Fed12 (2.6.31.6-166.fc12.i686.PAE kernel), the device is listed as /dev/video1 and no error doing a dmesg...but trying to make it work, let say with xawtv, I get: This is xawtv-3.95, running on Linux/i686 (2.6.31.6-166.fc12.i686.PAE) xinerama 0: 1600x900+0+0 WARNING: No DGA direct video mode for this display. /dev/video1 [v4l2]: no overlay support v4l-conf had some trouble, trying to continue anyway Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion libv4l2: error turning on stream: Timer expired ioctl: VIDIOC_STREAMON(int=1): Timer expired ioctl: VIDIOC_S_STD(std=0x0 []): Invalid argument v4l2: oops: select timeout ..or doing: xawtv -c /dev/video1 -nodga -novm -norandr -noxv -noxv-video I get: ioctl: VIDIOC_STREAMON(int=1): Timer expired ioctl: VIDIOC_S_STD(std=0x0 []): Invalid argument v4l2: oops: select timeout libv4l2: error turning on stream: Timer expired libv4l2: error reading: Invalid argument vlc, cheese, etc give me similar "Timeout" related messages...The comment: Perhaps a good thing to try would be the nice, simple, basic program svv, which you can get from the website of Jean-Francois Moine. Some of these other things do not always work. Especially I have had trouble with xawtv, though the xawtv people may have fixed a lot of problems while I was not watching them.
yeap, I try it, same kind of mesages...
The question: Is this a dual-mode camera which is also supposed to have still camera capabilities? If so, you might be interested in contacting the Gphoto project. I just searched for it there, and it does not seem to be listed.
yeap a dual-mode camera...
I assume that the specialists on the spca cameras will step forward. I am not one of them, as I said. Good luck. Theodore Kilgore
