Seems to be a bug in libv4l. Libv4l seems to have problems processing images larger than 160x120.

Comment by Thomas Bächler (brain0) - Tuesday, 02 December 2008, 12:05 GMT

There was some bugfix in libv4l related to chesse. Do you get this bug with libv4l-0.5.6-1 (this package was created last Saturday)?

Comment by Thomas Bächler (brain0) - Tuesday, 02 December 2008, 12:07 GMT

From the changelog:

libv4l-0.5.5
------------
* Avoid the use of try_fmt as much as possible on UVC cams, instead use the
results of the enum_framesizes ioctl. This is because:
1) try_fmt actually causes IO with UVC cams making apps which do lot of
querrying of device capabilities slow (cheese)
2) some buggy cams don't like getting lots of UVC video probes and crash
when they do

The second issue might be yours.

Comment by MzE2OWM2 (warriant) - Tuesday, 02 December 2008, 16:15 GMT

$ pacman -Q libv4l
libv4l 0.5.6-1

I confirm the only-160x120 thing.
(Downgrading Cheese to 2.24.1 also didn't help.)

Comment by MzE2OWM2 (warriant) - Tuesday, 02 December 2008, 16:22 GMT

The working solution for now is to downgrade to 0.5.3.

Comment by Thomas Bächler (brain0) - Tuesday, 02 December 2008, 19:57 GMT

Could you try to compile 0.5.4 and 0.5.5 as well and see where it breaks?

Comment by MzE2OWM2 (warriant) - Wednesday, 03 December 2008, 15:18 GMT

OK, 0.5.4 works, 0.5.5 doesn't.

Comment by Thomas Bächler (brain0) - Wednesday, 03 December 2008, 16:44 GMT

Thanks. A new version has been released last night that fixes a bug that was introduced in the uvc bugfix in 0.5.5:

libv4l-0.5.7
------------
* Fix a nasty (and stupid) bug in the special try_fmt handling for UVC cams
* Add some more verbose logging of various calls when asking libv4l to log
calls to a file, to assist in (future) debugging

A new package should be in extra in a few minutes, so expect a new version in pacman on your mirror within the next ~6 hours. Please confirm that the bug is fixed with that version.

Comment by MzE2OWM2 (warriant) - Wednesday, 03 December 2008, 17:05 GMT

Fixed. I think you can close the bug now.

Comment by Thomas Bächler (brain0) - Wednesday, 03 December 2008, 18:52 GMT

I'd like to have confirmation from the original reporter, but thanks for your quick responses.

Comment by Francesco (PJF) - Thursday, 04 December 2008, 12:16 GMT

Now It works. You can close it, thanks.
