Time for v4l-utils 1.2 release?
Hello,
It's been 11 months since the 1.0.0 release. What do you think about releasing HEAD? Do you have any pending commits?
Mauro, you tried to re-license the DVB library. What's the status there?
Thanks,
Gregor

Hi Gregor,
I was missing one formal ack on that. However, the previous demand of re-licinsing it as LGPL has gone, as gstreamer developers decided to implement DVBv5 there directly.
So, I decided to keep it as-is for now, as there's no gain currently on changing the license.

From my side, please go ahead and release 1.2 ;)

Mauro

I've got two patches from Laurent pending that ensure that the 'installed kernel headers' are used. I plan on processing those on Monday. After that I think it's OK to do a release.
Mauro, did you look at my email where I suggest to remove three apps from contrib? If you agree with that, then I can do that Monday as well.
Regards,
Hans

Well, I don't remember about such email, nor I was able to find on a quick look.
What apps are you planning to remove?
Btw, I think it could be a good idea to be able to install some of those stuff under contrib to a separate package. I had to do a quick hack in order to install v4l2grab on a Tizen package, in order to be able to test a card there (as was needing to do some tests via CLI).

Mauro

What does v4l2grab offer that v4l2-ctl doesn't? I would be much more inclined to remove v4l2grab.

Well, from my side, feel free to drop those 3 utilities. If you drop v4lgrab, you'll need to check the DocBook Makefile scripts, as it used to have some automation to include it at the media DocBook.
I think that this was removed in the past, but it doesn't hurt to double-check.

I never used v4l2-ctl for streaming (didn't even know/remember) that it was capable of doing that ;)
Looking at --help-streaming, though, one thing that it is not clear there is what's the format of the output, when --stream-to= is used.
Btw, I think that one big miss on v4l2-ctl is the lack of a man page witch would have an EXAMPLES section explaining things like that.
One of the advantages of v4l2grab is that it takes per-frame snapshots, instead of writing a stream file. Those snapshots help to identify, for example, if there are interlacing issues on a frame, or if some frames have some other problems.
Also, v4l2grab is a good example of how to use libv4l, and it is enclosed at DocBook (not sure if we're using automation to allow including the latest version of it):
http://linuxtv.org/downloads/v4l-dvb-apis/v4l2grab-example.html
So, I don't think we should remove it.

Gregor,
I'm all done, so you can make a new release whenever you want.

You can dump just a single frame as well with v4l2-ctl (--stream-count=1).
It is not the same. What I do with v4l2grab is to ask it to capture 30 seconds, storing frame by frame. Then, I can see if each frame is ok or not.
Btw, capturing just one frame with some webcams with auto bright will likely just get a black frame.

In most cases we do, but some specialized application still have use cases for using the V4L2 kernel API directly. Isn't example code still valuable for them ?
