Hello, I've recently got hold of a Logitech C930e webcam. AFAIK that's the only consumer webcam that support UVC 1.5 and H.264/SVC. Unfortunately, compared to its predecessor the C920, it is not very well supported on Linux.
For example, the H.264 capability doesn't appear in the list of formats: > v4l2-ctl -D --list-formats Driver Info (not using libv4l2): Driver name : uvcvideo Card type : Logitech Webcam C930e Bus info : usb-0000:00:1a.7-1.4 Driver version: 3.13.11 Capabilities : 0x84000001 Video Capture Streaming Device Capabilities Device Caps : 0x04000001 Video Capture Streaming ioctl: VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT Index : 0 Type : Video Capture Pixel Format: 'YUYV' Name : YUV 4:2:2 (YUYV) Index : 1 Type : Video Capture Pixel Format: 'MJPG' (compressed) Name : MJPEG Back in August 2013, there was a discussion on adding support for UVC 1.5, among other things: https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-media@vger.kernel.org/msg66203.html If I'm not mistaken, this set of patches provided above haven't been integrated into the kernel. Is there a lot of work to do to "backport" the code into the current kernel? 2 years after the original was written, has there been changes in the API that requires to "revisit" the patches?
