Subject: gspca-modules-2.6.22-3-amd64: Philips webcam SPC210NC has image turned upside/down

Date: Sat, 16 Feb 2008 09:50:33 +0100

Package: gspca-modules-2.6.22-3-amd64
Version: 2.6.22+01.00.18-9
Severity: minor


I bought a Philips webcam, model SPC210NC. It is
listed that it uses gspca module.
I am using OS system GNU/Linux Debian lenny/testing. I have installed
this package
gspca-modules-2.6.22-3-amd64         2.6.22+01.00.18-9

The problem is that I get the picture turned upside/down ?
These are the messages from dmesg (visible also at
http://openpaste.org/en/5140/)

Someone suggested to me that doing "modprobe gspca vflip=1" would help
but it doesn't seem to come as an option ?

Also this message keeps appearing, when I test the camera with  "xawtv"

Hi,

Attached patch, against latest GSPCA (1.00.20), fixes this. It
introduces ``vflip'' module parameter, which controls vertical flipping
for devices using pixart decompresser.

Please, try out "modprobe gspca vflip=1" with proposed patch.

I untared and patched the files in gspca-source.
And loaded the module with parameter:
"modprobe gspca vflip=1"

in dmesg i get :

and xawtv still shows the image flipped wrongly..

I am using AMD_64 and debian testing.

Well, as I said, my patch is for Pixart based cameras, that's what I
have (Genius e-Messenger 112). I made it to fix the same problem as you
have.

So, it is obvious that you have a camera of a different class and it
encodes frames using JPEG. I am not familiar with JPEG compression nor
I have a camera that uses it, so I can't make an accurate fix.

Anyway I've made a dirty hack. Please, try the attached patch instead of
the previous one. I do not like it, but it should work, I hope.

Hi Sergey,

I also have a philips webcam, and have had the upside-down problem with it.

Your latest patch gspcav1-20071224-vflip.patch worked for me!  the image flips great.  The only problem is the colours are slightly off.

I've attached dmesg since I "modprobe gspca vflip=1"  and also the debug stuff from "xawtv -c /dev/webcam0 -debug 2  > trace  2>&1"

I hope these files are useful to you.

Thank you for your help with the vflip parameter.

Luke Wakeling

Hello !

Is it possible to have this "fix" in the next build ? I would like to
update the package from the debian pool, so I don't have to compile it
from source.

Thank you for your submission/testing, Luke !

Regards,
Jan

I don't think so, because gspca was merged into the vanilla kernel and
my patches won't apply there. By the way, Debian does not have
gspca-modules package in testing and unstable anymore.

Maybe you should try a recent kernel, I think the problem might have
been fixed there already.
