Hi,
I'm experiencing a lot of choppiness in the video output when I pass
through my USB webcam to the guest using qemu-xhci as follows:
qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -hda arch-zoom.qcow2 -m 4G -vga virtio
-device qemu-xhci,id=xhci -device
usb-host,bus=xhci.0,hostdevice=/dev/bus/usb/002/004
My webcam is:
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 04f2:b449 Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd Integrated Camera
I am using mpv /dev/video0 from the guest.
It works fine if I use usb-ehci instead, e.g.:
qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -hda arch-zoom.qcow2 -m 4G -vga virtio
-device usb-ehci,id=ehci -device
usb-host,bus=ehci.0,hostdevice=/dev/bus/usb/002/004
In this case, the video output from mpv /dev/video0 is not choppy.
My QEMU version is 5.2.0 -- I am running Arch Linux on the host and guest.
Any ideas please?
Thanks,
Diego

Not sure it's related but I'm seeing this on the guest now when I use
mpv --vo=drm on a tty:

Video is then a bit smoother.

OK, I just noticed that it's mostly at the beginning (when I first run
mpv) that the video is jerky/choppy, looks like mpv is still buffering
at that stage, after buffering gets to 99% the video is smoother (with
xhci).
Now I don't understand why buffering with ehci happens a lot faster/smoother.
Nevermind, not an issue after all.

I don't understand it either; but cc'ing in Gerd for his USB wisdom.
