Subject: [PATCH] opendev() in input_v4l.c functional execution is not
implemented as described by the output messages it can display. One result
is that it reads the configuration width and height settings and prepares
them as the video source settings. But, it makes two unrelated attempts to
set the video device source channel and if the second one succeeds it reads
the current device grab window settings into the same structure it used to
load the configuration, overwriting and losing the configuration. It then
sets the grab window using the value it just got from the same device, i.e.
redundant set device grab window to current grab window. It has the effect
that if:
* Another video application is used before running camsource
- for the device camsource will use
- Uses frame resolution different from that in the camsource configuration
* Then the other application exited
* camsource started
The frame resolution used by camsource will be that set by the other
application and not that in the camsource configuration.
When reading what can be output to the console from the second set channel
it says the "set grab window failed: Trying _again_ without the
fps option" and performs a "set grab window" operation as the supposed
"again" of a set video channel operation (when a full set video channel was
already performed earlier in the code anyway).
I modified the logic to operate as the messaging describes:
* Perform a "get grab window" before loading the configuration
* Load the configuration over the get grab window result
* Perform a "set grab window" with the fps option
* If that "set grab window" fails:
- Perform a "set grab window" _again_ but without the fps
This matches the behavior described in the messaging and camsource no
longer loses the settings loaded from configuration.
