There is an assumption that the format coming from the device needs 2 bytes per pixel, which is not the case when the device delivers e.g. V4L2_PIX_FMT_GREY. This doesn't manifest itself with IO_METHOD_MMAP because init_mmap() (the default) doesn't take sizeimage as an argument. Signed-off-by: Michael Jones <michael.jones@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- This same issue would apply to other formats which have 1 byte per pixel, this patch only fixes it for GREY. Is this OK for now, or does somebody have a better suggestion for supporting other formats as well? contrib/test/capture-example.c | 4 +++- 1 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/contrib/test/capture-example.c b/contrib/test/capture-example.c index 3852c58..0eb5235 100644 --- a/contrib/test/capture-example.c +++ b/contrib/test/capture-example.c @@ -416,6 +416,7 @@ static void init_device(void) struct v4l2_crop crop; struct v4l2_format fmt; unsigned int min; + unsigned int bytes_per_pixel; if (-1 == xioctl(fd, VIDIOC_QUERYCAP, &cap)) { if (EINVAL == errno) { @@ -519,7 +520,8 @@ static void init_device(void) } /* Buggy driver paranoia. */ - min = fmt.fmt.pix.width * 2; + bytes_per_pixel = fmt.fmt.pix.pixelformat == V4L2_PIX_FMT_GREY ? 1 : 2; + min = fmt.fmt.pix.width * bytes_per_pixel; if (fmt.fmt.pix.bytesperline < min) fmt.fmt.pix.bytesperline = min; min = fmt.fmt.pix.bytesperline * fmt.fmt.pix.height; -- 1.7.5.4 MATRIX VISION GmbH, Talstrasse 16, DE-71570 Oppenweiler Registergericht: Amtsgericht Stuttgart, HRB 271090 Geschaeftsfuehrer: Gerhard Thullner, Werner Armingeon, Uwe Furtner -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
