Hi, I think I've seen this issue before and I think there is definitely a problem in the Ring user interface occasionally when changing the video settings. For some reason it doesn't always happen, or not on all machines... its something we need to investigate further.
I think there could also be a second issue in the Ring daemon (dring) in that it doesn't always seem to detect all the possible resolutions. I've noted before that on some cameras when I set the resolution to the highest possible, I am only able to select a low frame rate, and a higher frame rate only on lower resolutions. But in cheese I was able to select a high frame rate on the highest resoltion. Either way, Ales, one thing you could try is to quit Ring (make sure the dring process has quit as well). And then edit the dring.yml file found in: $HOME/.config/ring/dring.yml The end of the file should contain the video settings. Try setting the 'video_size' and 'framerate' to a resolution and framerate, respectively, which are valid in cheese. Then start Ring again and see if these settings have taken effect. -stepan ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ales Katona" <almin...@gmail.com> To: "Jérôme Oufella" <jerome.oufe...@savoirfairelinux.com> Cc: ring@lists.savoirfairelinux.net Sent: Wednesday, November 25, 2015 1:39:07 PM Subject: Re: [Ring] 10 FPS? This is the output of v4l2-ctl --all NOTE: if I query after running ring/settings I get 5 FPS in the streaming report. If I run cheese and run it afterwards (or during) I get 30 FPS.

This is the section of mostly Qt5 related "warnings" I see when I open the video settings and click on the various camera settings. QObject: Cannot create children for a parent that is in a different thread. (Parent is Video::ShmRenderer(0x19b0840), parent's thread is QThread(0x15ab650), current thread is QThread(0xb3dd80) QItemSelectionModel: Setting the current index when no model has been set will result in a no-op. QItemSelectionModel: Setting the current index when no model has been set will result in a no-op. QItemSelectionModel: Setting the current index when no model has been set will result in a no-op. QItemSelectionModel: Setting the current index when no model has been set will result in a no-op. The no-op one always happens when I change any camera setting, makes me think maybe it just doesn't do anything? Running Cheese (the gnome camera snapshotter) I get fluent video (30+ fps I'd guess) with 1280x720 which is the highest res for this webcam (creative live! HD VF0790) The client version (built from AUR on arch) is 0.4.0 Ales 2015-11-25 10:48 GMT-07:00 Jérôme Oufella < jerome.oufe...@savoirfairelinux.com > : Ales, you can try connecting a second (different) webcam on the same platform, check if you have the same fps limitations. In any case, I'm sure someone here can point to a debugging path. First thing that comes to my mind is querying the webcam's caps from a cli tool in a way similar to ring to see what it reports. @eloi: any hint? -- Feel the power of Opensource.
