Hello dear ML members, I wonder whether you can help me with the following issue. My webcam MSI StarCam (http://www.aaronpc.cz/produkty/msi-starcam-370i) identified as (lsusb) Bus 003 Device 002: ID 1b3b:2951 iPassion Technology Inc. PC Camera/Webcam controller (dmesg) input: Video Bus as /devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYBUS:00/PNP0A03:00/device:1d/LNXVIDEO:00/input/input8 ACPI: Video Device [VID] (multi-head: yes rom: no post: no) Linux video capture interface: v2.00 uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device <unnamed> (1b3b:2951) uvcvideo: UVC non compliance - GET_DEF(PROBE) not supported. Enabling workaround. input: UVC Camera (1b3b:2951) as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.1/usb3/3-1/3-1:1.0/input/input9 usbcore: registered new interface driver uvcvideo USB Video Class driver (v0.1.0) It is apparently detected while appropriate modules are loaded (v4l1_compat, uvcvideo, videodev), but of 3 tested applications: vlc, xawtv and skype, only vlc shows some output. Moreover there's plenty of uvcvideo: Failed to query (130) UVC probe control : -32 (exp. 26). in dmesg.log. The console outputs of all three programs follow. xawtv: libv4l2: error setting pixformat: Input/output error ioctl: VIDIOC_S_FMT(type=VIDEO_CAPTURE;fmt.pix.width=320;fmt.pix.height=240;fmt.pix.pixelformat=0x47504a4d [MJPG];fmt.pix.field=NONE;fmt.pix.bytesperline=0;fmt.pix.sizeimage=77312;fmt.pix.colorspace=SRGB;fmt.pix.priv=0): Input/output error ioctl: VIDIOC_S_STD(std=0x0 []): Invalid argument skype: libv4l2: error setting pixformat: Input/output error vlc v4l2:// [0xa18a530] main input error: demux doesn't like DEMUX_GET_TIME (probably irrelevant) As I wrote above vlc is able to capture the image but the quality is really low - please see screenshot at http://yfrog.com/86vlcsnap2009120920h48m50p I'd be glad to see the colors improved but main concern is that the camera does not seem to be Skype-friendly. Is there anything that can be done to improve this situation?
