Hello guys, My nickname is Nunux, I'm a geek, and need some help ... I just buy ten minicam to do a poker TV table. The minicam are eMPIA: eb1a:299f I've a PC with 1 internal USB BUS 2.0 and 3 PCI extension cards USB BUS 2.0 Currently, I can have only one cam eMPIA working per USB BUS but no more even if I set the lower resolution of 160x120. [ 2768.783291] uvcvideo: Device requested 1024 B/frame bandwidth. [ 2768.783295] uvcvideo: Selecting alternate setting 4 (2736 B/frame bandwidth). [ 2768.783641] uvcvideo: Allocated 5 URB buffers of 15x2736 bytes each. [ 2768.783664] uvcvideo: Failed to submit URB 0 (-28). So I can have 4 minicam at a time, but need 10. I'm running Linux 3.5.0 on Ubuntu. pierre@SuperTable:/usr/src/linux-source-3.5.0/linux-source-3.5.0/drivers/media/video/uvc$ uvcdynctrl -f -d /dev/video0 Listing available frame formats for device /dev/video0: Pixel format: YUYV (YUV 4:2:2 (YUYV); MIME type: video/x-raw-yuv) Frame size: 640x480 Frame rates: 30 Frame size: 160x120 Frame rates: 30 Frame size: 176x144 Frame rates: 30 Frame size: 320x240 Frame rates: 30 Frame size: 352x288 Frame rates: 30 Frame size: 640x480 Frame rates: 30 I try to patch uvc_video.c like this: /* Isochronous endpoint, select the alternate setting. */ //bandwidth = stream->ctrl.dwMaxPayloadTransferSize; bandwidth = 1024; That help me to reduce the USB bandwidth down to 1024 on a Microsoft LifeCam Cinema: [ 944.410066] USB Video Class driver (1.1.1) [ 948.636665] uvcvideo: Device requested 1024 B/frame bandwidth. [ 948.636670] uvcvideo: Selecting alternate setting 4 (1024 B/frame bandwidth). [ 948.912793] uvcvideo: Allocated 5 URB buffers of 32x1024 bytes each. And allow me to run up to 3 Microsoft LifeCam Cinema on the same PCI USB Card. But it's not working on eMPIA minicam: [ 982.488896] uvcvideo: Device requested 1024 B/frame bandwidth. [ 982.488901] uvcvideo: Selecting alternate setting 4 (2736 B/frame bandwidth). [ 982.489355] uvcvideo: Allocated 5 URB buffers of 32x2736 bytes each. Because even if the request bandwdith is fixed to 1024, there is no endpoint with such lower bandwidth. -------------- So my question is, is it possible to lower the bandwidth of the endpoint, or use a different bandwidth, or the do anything to run 3 cams per usb ports ? I host a mini poker mtt for my wife birthday this saturday, and hope get some thing to work before... So any help or comments would be really appreciated, Many regards, Nunux ------------------------------------------------ Bus 004 Device 002: ID eb1a:299f eMPIA Technology, Inc.
