Looks right to me, and I hope that someone has more direct knowledge about your camera, which I do not. I do have a couple of questions, however, and a comment. > > Recently I'm trying to make work a Sunplus crappy mini HD USB camera, lsusb > list this info related to the device: > > Picture Transfer Protocol (PIMA 15470) > Bus 001 Device 015: ID 04fc:1528 Sunplus Technology Co., Ltd > > idVendor 0x04fc Sunplus Technology Co., Ltd > idProduct 0x1528 > bcdDevice 1.00 > iManufacturer 1 Sunplus Co Ltd > iProduct 2 General Image Devic > iSerial 0 > ... > > Using the gspca-2.13.6 on my Fed12 (2.6.31.6-166.fc12.i686.PAE kernel), the > device is listed as /dev/video1 and no error doing a dmesg...but trying to > make it work, let say with xawtv, I get: > > This is xawtv-3.95, running on Linux/i686 (2.6.31.6-166.fc12.i686.PAE) > xinerama 0: 1600x900+0+0 > WARNING: No DGA direct video mode for this display. > /dev/video1 [v4l2]: no overlay support > v4l-conf had some trouble, trying to continue anyway > Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion > Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion > libv4l2: error turning on stream: Timer expired > ioctl: VIDIOC_STREAMON(int=1): Timer expired > ioctl: VIDIOC_S_STD(std=0x0 []): Invalid argument > v4l2: oops: select timeout > > ..or doing: > xawtv -c /dev/video1 -nodga -novm -norandr -noxv -noxv-video > > I get: > ioctl: VIDIOC_STREAMON(int=1): Timer expired > ioctl: VIDIOC_S_STD(std=0x0 []): Invalid argument > v4l2: oops: select timeout > libv4l2: error turning on stream: Timer expired > libv4l2: error reading: Invalid argument > > > vlc, cheese, etc give me similar "Timeout" related messages... The comment: Perhaps a good thing to try would be the nice, simple, basic program svv, which you can get from the website of Jean-Francois Moine. Some of these other things do not always work. Especially I have had trouble with xawtv, though the xawtv people may have fixed a lot of problems while I was not watching them. The question: Is this a dual-mode camera which is also supposed to have still camera capabilities? If so, you might be interested in contacting the Gphoto project. I just searched for it there, and it does not seem to be listed. I assume that the specialists on the spca cameras will step forward. I am not one of them, as I said. Good luck.
