Hi Laurent,

A couple of users reported me a little issue with Cheese after
upgrading uvcvideo to the last changeset (62c88b326ecd).
As soon as they start cheese they get this error:

libv4l2: error converting / decoding frame data: v4l-convert: error
parsing JPEG header: Not a JPG file ?

It only happens once and doesn't seem anything fatal since cheese runs
fine with no noticeable issue.
Both users have a dell xps (m13xx?) with a " 05a9:2640 OmniVision
Technologies, Inc." webcam.
I forwarded their mails to Hans de Goede, thinking it may be something
related to libv4l, but he said, and I believe he's right, it probably
is a driver or an hardware fault.
He said that most likely the first frame sent by the webcam doesn't
have a valid jpeg header, maybe because it starts sending in the
middle of  a frame.
Any idea about it?

Best Regards

Filippo Argiolas
