Posted: Thu Feb 02, 2006 3:41 pm Post subject: Ebuild for uvcvideo and uvcview (for UVC Webcams) |
|
|
Hossa,
for UVC Webcams (like the Logitech Quickcam Pro 5000) there is a new driver developing. To make testing it easier i created an ebuild for the driver
and for the uvc viewer application (since uvc devices seem not to be supported very good right now by many webcam applications).
driver
viewer
For more information watch the linux-uvc website and get in touch with other users/developers via the mailing lists (linux-uvc-devel@lists.berlios.de). _________________ ICQ #81510866 - http://the-gay-bar.com - MSN tante@emptiness.de

Thanks for the ebuild! I just got a Quickcam Fusion and I'm trying to get it working.
I was able to install the driver, but now I get this:
Code: | linux ~ # modprobe uvcvideo
FATAL: Error inserting uvcvideo (/lib/modules/2.6.16-rc3-nitro1/usb/media/uvcvideo.ko): Invalid module format
|
Did I do something wrong? |

I've just updated my kernel to the latest 2.6.16-gentoo-r4 and I cannot reproduce the error.
Maybe one of the nitro patches goes beserk? What does "modprobe -v uvcvideo" do? _________________ ICQ #81510866 - http://the-gay-bar.com - MSN tante@emptiness.de

Okay, I uploaded the ebuilds to my real website. I also added "snapshot releases" so you don't have to get some stuff from SVN. _________________ ICQ #81510866 - http://the-gay-bar.com - MSN tante@emptiness.de

Ok tried it again, and I can load the module fine and it shows up in dmesg:

But when I try to view the webcam, its light flashes on for a second then goes off with this error:

I don't know "webcam", many programs do not really support v4l2, but only the old v4l.
If you wanna try a program that does work with the uvcvideo driver you can either install ekiga or (if that has too many dependencies for you) you can grab the ebuild for luvcview on my homepage. Does it work with those programs? _________________ ICQ #81510866 - http://the-gay-bar.com - MSN tante@emptiness.de

Okay, that means that "webcam" does not handle v4l2 properly. Like I already mentioned, ekiga works flawlessly with the cam (if you need an application to communicate with someone). _________________ ICQ #81510866 - http://the-gay-bar.com - MSN tante@emptiness.de

I have problems, too. I own a Fusion. luvcview gives me:

video /dev/video0

Major opcode of failed request: 139 (XVideo)
Minor opcode of failed request: 19 ()

dmesg
Code: | uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device <unnamed> (046d:08c1)

Ekiga does not work with my webcam. Do I need additional software? Where do you get v4l-info etc from? The only app where I can get a picture is kopete but it has wrong colours and does not look very nice...

v4l-conf is in the xawtv package.
Which kernel do you use?
Do you get a /dev/videoX device node? _________________ ICQ #81510866 - http://the-gay-bar.com - MSN tante@emptiness.de

I use the most recent stable suspend2 kernel: suspend2-sources-2.6.16-r8.
Yes, /dev/video0 is created.
Can I provide more information?

okay, let's see whether you have the camera working.
do
Code: |
udevinfo -n /dev/video0 -q all
|
This gives you a set of lines, one beginning with "P:". Use what stands behind it (probably "/class/video4linux/video0") and do
Code: | udevinfo -a -p /class/video4linux/video0 |
Post the output. Thanks. _________________ ICQ #81510866 - http://the-gay-bar.com - MSN tante@emptiness.de

P: /class/video4linux/video0
N: v4l/video0
S: video0
satux ~ # udevinfo -a -p /class/video4linux/video0
udevinfo starts with the device the node belongs to and then walks up the
device chain, to print for every device found, all possibly useful attributes
in the udev key format.
Only attributes within one device section may be used together in one rule,
to match the device for which the node will be created.

Hmmm, that looks good so far. Might it be a problem with luvcview?

I used your ebuild for luvcview which worked without problems.
ekiga is version 2.0.2 but IIRC I also tried 2.0.1. I have all USEFLAGS enabled except avahi, debug and gnome. ekgia shows me only Picture as Video Plugin, and StaticPicture and MovingLogo as "Aufnahmegerät" (recording device?).
Anything to compile into the kernel? I compiled Video for Linux (VIDEO_DEV) into the kernel...
I somehow fear I did something terribly stupid

hmmm. Both luvcview and Ekiga use SDL.
Please look at you libsdl useflags. Do you have "xv" enabled? _________________ ICQ #81510866 - http://the-gay-bar.com - MSN tante@emptiness.de

I really suppose it's connected to SDL since both programs use that, but I'll have to look at SDL closer to find out what's wrong. Maybe if you asked someone who knows more about ekiga he/she can help you? I never had that problem so far, so I'm kinda out of ideas here. Your camera seems to work correctly though. _________________ ICQ #81510866 - http://the-gay-bar.com - MSN tante@emptiness.de

Hi, I have exactly the same problem. The only way to get luvcview to work properly on my configuration is :
That means "disable SDL hardware accel."
So apparently it really comes from SDL.
If I don't give the -w option I get this error :
Code: | uvcview verion 0.1.4
Video driver: x11
A window manager is available
video /dev/video0
X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
Major opcode of failed request: 140 (XVideo)
Minor opcode of failed request: 19 ()
Serial number of failed request: 24
Current serial number in output stream: 25 |
I have libsdl-1.2.8-r1. I'm going to try libsdl-1.2.11.
And Ekiga does not detect the cam ![Evil or Very Mad :evil:](images/smiles/icon_evil.gif) |

Quick answer : luvcview works fine with libsdl-1.2.11. Great !
But I still cannot get Ekiga to detect my new Quickcam Pro 5000 ![Sad :(](images/smiles/icon_sad.gif) |

Okay, so looking for other threads of people having problems with Ekiga not detecting any cams might light this issue up a little. _________________ ICQ #81510866 - http://the-gay-bar.com - MSN tante@emptiness.de
