2009-08-14libv4l: Do not hide JPG / MJPG pixfmt from applicationshans@rhel5-devel.localdomain
From: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com> Some applications want to use jpg format if possible, so do not hide it from the apps (do not assume it always needs conversion) Priority: normal Signed-off-by: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com>
2009-08-14libv4l: Fix reqbuf Device or Resource busy error when using readhans@rhel5-devel.localdomain
From: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com> Some applications such as v4l2-apps/test/capture-example.c, in read mode use select() together with read() and do a select() before the first read(). This causes issues together with certain drivers (gspca for example), do not allow switching from read mode to mmap mode and they assume read() mode if a select or poll() is done before any buffers are requested. When not using libv4l2, this is not an issue but libv4l2 uses mmap mode under the hood when converting as that safes a memcpy for each frame read. This fails with such drivers when the application has done a select() before the first read() as the driver now is in "read mode" and disallows switching to mmap mode. This patch fixes this by falling back to using read() for v4l2_read() when using mmap mode fails. Priority: normal Signed-off-by: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com>

2009-07-16libv4l: Make library subdir name configurablehans@rhel5-devel.localdomain
From: Gregor Jasny <gjasny@googlemail.com> While studying the Debian library package name, I noticed that private So /usr/lib/libv4l should become /usr/lib/libv4l0. As this would break existing scripts, I suggest to start versioning with the next soname bump. The line in the makefiles will then read: ifeq ($(LIBSUBDIR),) LIBSUBDIR = libv4l$(LIB_RELEASE) endif Unfortunately, the private subdirs in Debian must be named after the library package, which would be libv4l-0. Therefore I need to configure the LIBSUBDIR at compile time. Priority: normal Signed-off-by: Gregor Jasny <gjasny@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com>

2009-04-13libv4l: add video processing: whitebalance and normalizehans@rhel5-devel.localdomain
From: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com> As the version number shows this work is the basis for a beta release of the 0.6.x series, the big change here is the addition of video processing to libv4l currently this only does whitebalance and normalizing (which turns out to be useless for most cams) but the basic framework for doing video processing, and being able to control it through fake v4l2 controls using for example v4l2ucp is there. The initial version of this code was written by 3 of my computer science students: Elmar Kleijn, Sjoerd Piepenbrink and Radjnies Bhansingh.

2009-03-11libv4l: add sn9c20x-i420 decoderhans@rhel5-devel.localdomain
From: Vasily Khoruzhick <anarsoul@gmail.com> Recent sn9c20x driver written by microdia project (http://groups.goolge.com/group/microdia) introduce new output format - sn9c20x-i420. This format is actually scrambled yuv420, so it's very easy and fast to convert it to yuv420. This patch adds sn9c20x-i420 decoder to the libv4l-0.5.7 This decoder is much faster than jpeg one (sn9c20x supports JPEG too): sn9c20x-i420 decoder eats only 10% of 1GHz CPU at 640x480x25fps vs 40% of 1GHz CPU in jpeg at same frame size/rate. This format should be preffered for sn9c20x, because sn9c20x driver supports SBGGR8 too, so it should go before SBGGR8 in supported_src_pixfmts.
