Setting the JPEG quality in sonixj has been removed when automatic quality adjustment has been added (git commit b96cfc33e7). At this time, I let the JPEG get function, but it could have been removed as well: I don't think the users are interested by this quality, and the applications may find it looking at the quantization tables of the images. Otherwise, letting the users/applications to set this quality is dangerous: if the quality is too high, the images cannot be fully transmitted because their size is too big for the USB 1.1 channel. So, IMO, you should let the sonixj as it is, and I will remove the get_jepgcomp. -- Ken ar c'hentañ | ** Breizh ha Linux atav! ** Jef | http://moinejf.free.fr/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
