Please note that "Xv ports" refer to interfaces between applications and the X server to display video through the X Video Extension (Xv), not to TCP/UDP ports. They are anyway completely unrelated to the uvcvideo driver. What might indicate uvcvideo problems, however, are the two V4L2 messages. Please check your kernel log (using dmesg) for messages printed by the uvcvideo driver.
