The whole point is that s_fmt on output side is to describe format of the stream passed to the device, and in case of decoder it is just mpeg/h.26x/... stream. It does not contain frames, fields, width, height - it is just raw stream of bytes. We cannot say in such case about field type, there is not such thing as interlaced byte stream. Using s_fmt on output to describe things on capture side look for me unnecessary and abuses V4L2 API IMO. > > About MFC, it will be worth trying to read the DISPLAY_STATUS after the > headers has been processed.

In case of MFC5.1 it is unclear, but I hope HW behaves the same way. Anyway I agree it will be good to fix it at least for MFC6.5+, any volunteer?
