Hi guys,
Not sure if is the right place to ask since this device use a gspca driver
and not sure if that driver is related to uvc or not, if not please point
me to the right place...
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

..or doing:
xawtv -c /dev/video1 -nodga -novm -norandr -noxv -noxv-video
I get:

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.
yeap, I try it, same kind of mesages...
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.
yeap a dual-mode camera...
I assume that the specialists on the spca cameras will step forward. I
am not one of them, as I said. Good luck.
