Subject: xawtv 'webcam' & uvcvideo webcam: ioctl error
Date: Mon, 03 Nov 2008 17:30:40 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <490F2730.9090703@lim.nl> (raw)
Hi all,
I am trying to get the 'webcam' utility of xwatv working with my uvcvide
webcam, a Creative Optia. My Fedora 9 system recognizes the webcam fine;
here is the dmesg line:
uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device Live! Cam Optia (041e:4057)
The webcam works with apps like Skype.
I'd like to configure it to upload images periodically to my website
using the xawtv 'webcam' utility. I create ~/.webcamrc as indicated in
the man page, but when I run it, it return an error message:
$ webcam
reading config file: /home/colin/.webcamrc
video4linux webcam v1.5 - (c) 1998-2002 Gerd Knorr
grabber config:
size 320x240 [16 bit YUV 4:2:2 (packed, YUYV)]
input Camera 1, norm (null), jpeg quality 75
rotate=0, top=0, left=0, bottom=240, right=320
write config [ftp]:
local transfer ~/Desktop/uploading.jpeg => ~/Desktop/webcam.jpeg
ioctl: VIDIOC_DQBUF(index=0;type=VIDEO_CAPTURE;bytesused=0;flags=0x0
[];field=ANY;;timecode.type=0;timecode.flags=0;timecode.frames=0;timecode.seconds=0;timecode.minutes=0;timecode.hours=0;timecode.userbits="";sequence=0;memory=unknown):

Any ideas what is going wrong here?
TIA
