To Wim Brul

anything can be done in my case ?

http://www.os2world.com/forum/index.php/topic,196.msg3884.html#msg3884

May be so. Start USBDock /bin and attach 0AC83420.BIN for me to inspect.

pls download it from here http://gus.biysk.ru/os4/usb/0ac83420.bin

I parsed the compound descriptor and there is nothing wrong with it. But it did not help me either. So I am going to shoot in the dark. May be your camera yuyv stream is interlaced. So I prepared a special uvcview.exe for you to try out. When it displays something then take a SnapShot.

Hi Mike,

Yes, but it is easier for me to work on weblook first because it is a vio program. Mind you, the associated webview program is a pm program. The aim is to move away from usbecd.sys for generic webcam support. See my previous posts in this thread.

Wim.


Helllo Wim,
the generic webcam support sounds good. I could install now all the latest files, made the usbecd.sys  config and then tried  weblock.exe

started.
[0104241B]
[0105242A]
YUYV
[000007F8]
[00000018]
bind: Address not available
[open isochronous]

the cam led is on but webview.exe shows just a black window the same happens with uvcview.exe. Any ideas?

mike

Unpack os4user.zip and run uvcvideo /x and click TestShot

1. Do you see out of sync video?
2. Do you have uvcview.raw file?
3. I need uvcview.raw file.

Okay, I think I can definitely say that uvcvideo, and weblook, freezes when ACPI switches off all but one processor.

One odd thing, that I see, is that starting weblook causes some low activity on the second processor, even though the system does not appear to have enough activity to justify turning it on.

When I also start webview, the activity does go high enough to turn on the second processor, and keep it on (depending on the settings).

I don't know if this is a flaw in ACPI, the USB stuff, WebSee, or something else.

Perhaps just 2 threads using high or more likely realtime priority.

Yes, I meant uvcview.exe /x to run.
I inspected uvcview.raw and your webcam like Mike's does not set EOH bit in the stream headers.
Try http://home.hccnet.nl/w.m.brul/uvcvideo/mike.zip to see if uvcview.exe will work for you.

Your webcam supplies darker Y values than the standard threshold of 16. This makes darker areas in the image white. Since your webcam descriptors don't tell me that, I will come up with yet another parameter to compensate for that. I will keep you informed.

Hi Wim,

I was wondering if you could support the Logitech Webcam C270 !

Here's some output for it:

1) Weblook output:

started.
[0104241B]
[01052432]
[0206240B]
[01072432]
MJPG
[00000BF4]
[00000010]
On-line. Use Ctrl+Break to end.
[open isochronous]

2) webview.exe

Opens with alot of beebs, but not black screen see attached

3) uvcview.exe

Dialog - Device driver error open.


Thank you so much for your hard work !

Greggory

A lot of beeps means that the mjpg decoder in webview.exe encountered a lot of invalid huffman codes. May be this camera uses its own specific set of huffman codes. If this is true than you are out of luck because I cannot support that. Take a TestShot so I can inspect the webview.raw file.  But there is hope. If your webcam supports yuyv video too then I could modify weblook.exe to use yuyv instead. An additional parameter /u could enable that feature.

3) uvcview.exe

Greggory

Both weblook.exe and uvcview.exe operate your webcam. They cannot do that at the same time. Hence the open error.

I am currently working on a full replacement of WebSeeBeta1.zip that contains all fixes up to and including the ones required for Mike and os4user. Now I will add the /u parameter to weblook.exe and to uvcview.exe too.

Regards, Wim.
