Currently only whitebalancing is enabled and only on Pixarts (pac)

other
webcams (after instaling this release) do:
export LIBV4LCONTROL_CONTROLS=15
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so v4l2ucp&
Strangely while those instructions give me a whitebalance control
for the
sq905 based camera I can't get it to appear for a pac207 based camera
regardless of whether LIBV4LCONTROL_CONTROLS is set.
Thats weird, there is a small bug in the handling of pac207
cams with usb id 093a:2476 causing libv4l to not automatically
enable whitebalancing (and the control) for cams with that id,
but if you have LIBV4LCONTROL_CONTROLS set (exported!) both
when loading v4l2ucp (you must preload v4l2convert.so!) and
when loading your viewer, then it should work.
I've tested it by plugging in the sq905 camera, verifying the
whitebablance
control is present and working, unplugging the sq905 and plugging in
the
pac207 and using up arrow to restart v4l2ucp and svv so I think I've
eliminated most finger trouble possibilities. The pac207 is id
093a:2460 so
not the problem id. I'll have to investigate more thoroughly later.
Does the pac207 perhaps have a / in its "card" string (see v4l-info
output) ?
if so try out this patch:
http://linuxtv.org/hg/~hgoede/libv4l/rev/1e08d865690a
I have the same issue as Adam when trying to test this with my
gspca_stv06xx based Quickcam Web camera i. e no whitebalancing
controls show up. I'm attaching a dump which logs all available
pixformats and v4l2ctrls showing that libv4l is properly loaded.
(And yes, LIBV4LCONTROL_CONTROLS is exported and set to 15).

Erik
Ah, you are using v4l2-ctl, not v4l2ucp, and that uses
V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL
control enumeration. My code doesn't handle V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL
(which is
a bug). I'm not sure when I'll have time to fix this. Patches welcome,
or in
the mean time use v4l2ucp to play with the controls.
Actually, I've tried to use both without finding the controls.
I've only tried with v4l2ucp v. 1.2. Is 1.3 necessary?
Apparently there are different versions of v4l2ucp in different distro's
and some do use the V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL, just like v4l2-ctl. See
Adam Baker's patch later in this thread. Which I will apply to my
tree after I've reviewed it (when I find some time currently I've a lot of
$work$ )
Regards,
Hans
