This is not really a bug in libv4l, but more of a problem with error
tolerance in the application you are using. However many apps don't handle
any kind of errors all that well. So the latest libv4l will retry (get a new
frame) jpeg decompression errors a number of times.
I'll send you a mail with instructions how to install the latest libv4l.
The instructions are tailored for people who have an upside down mounted
webcam in their laptop (as that is what I get the most reports about), but
should work fine for you too :)
Regards,
Hans
