Hello, I've been trying to solve some timestamp issues with v4l2 in GStreamer and tracked down the problem to be the uvc driver giving back non-monotonic (sometimes decreasing) timestamp. Here's some traces I have captured. It shows the TS as computed by uvc_video_clock_update(). Notice that before this call the TS are monotonic. This method is far from trivial, so any help would be appreciated.
