Ah yes I see, so I assume that if libv4l where to return a failure for
CREATE_BUFS when conversion is used, that gstreamer will then fallback to
a regular REQUEST_BUFS call ?
Then that indeed seems the best solution, can you submit patch for this ?
Exactly, that should work. My concern with application side workaround
would that the day someone implements CREATE_BUF support in v4l2 this
application won't benefit without patching. I'll see if I can find time,
disabling it seems faster then implementing support for it, specially
that current experiment show that the jpeg code is really fragile.
Current state is that libv4l2 is causing a buffer overflow, so it is
harmful library in that sense.
This raise a concern, it would mean that USERPTR, DMABUF, CREATE_BUFS
will now be lost (in most cases) when enabling libv4l2. This is getting
a bit annoying. Specially that we are pushing forward having m2m
decoders to only be usable through libv4l2 (HW specific parsers). Is
there a long term plan or are we simply pushing the dust toward libv4l2 ?
cheers,
Nicolas
