The tool you use asks for V4L2_FIELD_INTERLACED if the -f switch is used. You told me #v4l that you do use that switch, but have modified the tool to use a different pixelformat than used in the link above, correct? 2. The rcar-vin driver interprets V4L2_FIELD_INTERLACED as V4L2_FIELD_INTERLACED_TB. If this is correct or not I do not know, the old soc-camera version of the driver do it this way so I have kept that logic. This is the reason why the field order is wrong when you apply this patch. Without it the field order would be locked to whatever the subdevice reports, V4L2_FIELD_ALTERNATE in this case. I don't know if it's correct to treat V4L2_FIELD_INTERLACED as V4L2_FIELD_INTERLACED_TB or if I should try and use G_STD if V4L2_FIELD_INTERLACED is requested and change the field to _TB or _BT according to the result of that. I feel this will only push the problem further down. What if G_STD is not implemented by the subdevice? Then a default fallback interpretation to ether _TB or _BT would still be needed. I'm open to suggestion on how to handle this case. There is also a feature missing in this patch. The field order was set to V4L2_FIELD_NONE if the requested format asks for V4L2_FIELD_ANY. This have no effect for how you test but i did run into it while trying to figure this out. I will send out a v2 which solves this by retaining the current field mode if V4L2_FIELD_ANY is asked for. > > MBR, Sergei > -- Regards, Niklas Söderlund
