Public bug reported: Seems support for the jpgl palette has been around in v4lconvert since 2011 or so, but is not present in the ubuntu version. Is there an easy way I can add that so I can get my old webcam working on ubuntu? I'm trying to use the cam with either"motion" or "fswebcam".
I tried this on an up to date 14.04LTS: # v4l2-ctl --list-formats-ext ioctl: VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT Index : 0 Type : Video Capture Pixel Format: 'JPGL' (compressed) Name : JPGL Size: Discrete 320x240 Size: Discrete 640x480 # LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libv4lconvert.so.0.0.0 fswebcam --- Opening /dev/video0... Trying source module v4l2... /dev/video0 opened. No input was specified, using the first. Unable to find a compatible palette format. # Regards PeO ** Affects: v4l-utils (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1385152 Title: jpgl support in libv4lconvert is missing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/v4l-utils/+bug/1385152/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
