Function Brokenfocus never gets called #232

Closed Obagunceiro closed 5 months ago

Obagunceiro commented 5 months ago

What happened

The brokenfocus function that should be executed to define the absolute focus is never called, when I look at the LOG, the following never appears: WARN: Detected 'brokenfocus' device. and then this function is not executed and my focus is always set to the webcam default, which in my case is 160, I can set the value for focus_absolute easily via SSH with the command: v4l2-ctl --set-ctrl=focus_absolute=200 . The problem is that whenever the crownest service is restarted, my webcam goes to default focus

What did you expect to happen

I would expect the following message to appear: WARN: Detected 'brokenfocus' device, and for my absolute focus to be set to that of crownest.cfg

How to reproduce

Configure v4l2 in crownest.cfg with the parameters focus_continuous_absolute=0 and focus_absolute=X Using ustreamer (camera-streamer also doesn't set my focus) Start the crownest service

The brokenfocus function only executes, if it detecs that the settings are wrong after it got already set, as some devices got problems with settings it too early. But this is a duplicate of the other issue you wrote in. Please don't do such things.
