About the webcam access, doest it mean we can now have a generic pm application that can show the video of the connected usb webcam?
O.K. I have made up my mind and I am going for it.
I have compiled both usbresmg.sys and usbcalls.dll and after some modifications I got a basic working set that is suitable for implementing support for isochronous transfers. The source code I use is the latest one available at Netlabs. Right now I am investigating which functions should be present. I will keep you informed.

Hi Wim!Therefore support for isochronous transfers need to be added to usbresmg.sys so it can be used instead. This is something I am considering to dive into when time permits. Both weblook and webview have been coded in turbo assembler.
This would be awesome, as then support could also be added to libusb for isochronous transfers
I think this is a must for further work on webcam issue, so we can get libusb to work too and this will give us access to a lot of existing unix applications.

Hi Wim,Hi Yuri,
which kind of work is required to add new camera models?
Yuri
I tested vweblook/webview, and I'm able to see a 320x240 stream for one or two minutes. I just noted that c250tc4 is supposed to show a 320x240 stream, but the PM window is only 160x120 (while webview has a 320x240 window).
Also I noted that other apps are usually freezing at startup while changing the luminance of the stream, e.g. first shot is darker then it gets lighter in smaller frame apps.
Hi Yuri,I compared the descriptor of my Logitech C250 with the descriptor of your Logitech C200 and they are the same.
So try C250WV0.ZIP since it should work with your camera too.
works only for lower resolutions and for a short amount of time... seems some kind of buffer size because lower resolution works longer.
thanks,
Yuri
Hi Silvan,Hi Silvan,Wim,
According to your lsusb output, the camera in your T510 appears to be equal to the one in the X201T.
So try the yet untested http://home.hccnet.nl/w.m.brul/usbvideo/x201wv0.zip and see if it works for you.
Regards, Wim.
i just tried it. Weblook starts and the camera light goes on. Webview also starts but i only see a black screen.
I started both apps on the T510 w/o parameters.
regards
Silvan
Here is descriptor output for Logitech C200.Hi Yuri,
do you have an idea why /D:17EF:480F:2345 /N:$CHICON$ could not work?
I'd love to test more.
