I have an idea. I think there's a bug in quickcam.c. For me, xawtv worked fine, but when I tried to use camstream I got only black images. I traced the problem down to a check in quickcam.c that looks like a workaround that went wrong--basically, the code is supposed ot check if the palette is supported, but instead it rejects the palette if it doesn't have 24 bits. This worked for my xawtv, which apparently ignored this check, but maybe your xawtv pays attention to the check.. I fixed this with the attached diff file for quickcam.c. Try applying it to quickcam.c and see if you have better results.
Thanks, I applied your patch, but get the same exact error. I'm not sure where this error comes from, as I don't find these text string ("no way to get") in the quickcam code.
I'm recompiling with debug level, see what that presents.
BTW I reported this bug on the qce SourceForge page, no action so far. -- Jon Webb ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1662,1668c1662,1664 < if (p.depth!=24) < retval = -EINVAL; < else { < retval = IsSupported(p.palette); < if (!retval) < quickcam->vpic.palette = p.palette; < } ---retval = IsSupported(p.palette); if (!retval) quickcam->vpic.palette = p.palette;
