Re: [Linux-uvc-devel] [Linphone-developers] 064e:a101 Suyin Corp. Cam in Acer Notebook - Still no image on Linphone 2.0.1

[Simon Morlat]

Hi Conrad,

My only hypothesis concerning this problem is that the linux usb stack does 
not like that linphone makes call to it using 2 different threads (through 
the uvc driver). I plan to rework the grabbing component to get only one 
thread talking with the driver.
I experience also very strange problem with that uvc driver with pictures 
being splitted or very unstable and ffmpeg complaning of corrupted mjpeg 
bitstream. I think all this is related to the threading design used in 
linphone.
Concerning windows vista, I know there are several problems but unfortunately 
I could never have a try myself. A friend of mine is going to give me its PC 
with vista installed to get a chance to solve all those problems.

Simon
