Hi,
I have some problems with "BisonCam, NB Pro" (5986:0241) with
gstreamer/libv4l (while it works with luvcview).
After some investigation, I found uvcvideo driver answers EIO when
libv4l do VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL, with a particular id: 0x980903. This id
seems correct and correspond to "Hue" control. Someone can confirm this?
Also, dmesg says:
uvcvideo: Failed to query (135) UVC control 6 (unit 5) : -32 (exp. 2).
Error 32 corresponds to EPIPE ("Stalled endpoint").
I wrote a workaround in libv4l :
--- libv4l-0.5.8.orig/libv4l2/libv4l2.c
+++ libv4l-0.5.8/libv4l2/libv4l2.c
@@ -740,0 +740,6 @@
+ // Jezz: Fix bug with '5986:0241 BisonCam, NB Pro'
+ if (request == VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL && result != 0 && errno == EIO) {
+ struct v4l2_queryctrl *queryctrl = arg;
+ if (queryctrl->id == 0x980903)
+ errno = EINVAL;
+ }
This workaround work fine, so problem exists only with this id.
Nevertheless, it is not a perennial solution. So I am looking to correct
problem in uvcvideo driver.
1. I currently work on kernel 2.6.28.9. Do you think it would be useful
to test with 2.6.29 or 2.6.30?
2. It looks like a hardware bug, but how to prove it?
3. Should I add a "quirks" entry in uvcvideo to handle it?
Cheer,
