So in my case (as these are controls that might be used by others too) I should add something like #define V4L2_CID_BLUE_SATURATION (V4L2_CID_CAMERA_CLASS_BASE+19) #define V4L2_CID_RED_SATURATION (V4L2_CID_CAMERA_CLASS_BASE+20) #define V4L2_CID_GRAY_SCALE_IMAGE (V4L2_CID_CAMERA_CLASS_BASE+21) #define V4L2_CID_SOLARIZE_EFFECT (V4L2_CID_CAMERA_CLASS_BASE+22) to videodev2.h? > -- > Sakari Ailus > sakari.ailus@xxxxxx > -- 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
