Log Files

When setting the video resolution and frame rate on these cameras, it TRIES but in the logs fails. It then sets them to lower values (camera dependent) But the UI doesn't show this. I set the camera to 1920x1080 and it would fail and set it to 640x360. (see log extract below). Could this be detected and somehow represented in the UI as a failure? Showing RED? Show both values. What I found was that I could get the resolution that I requested AFTER adding "Extra Motion Options" v4l1_palette 8 which sets it to mjpeg compression.

So in the log below, it fails to set to 1920 and downgrades to 1280. It also downgrades the fps from the requested 30 to 10. Again in the UI I believe it worked but when I start viewing the videos or the images and they are not the quality requested, it is disconcerting. Several of the cameras drop all the way to 640x360. Spend several hours trying to get it to work before realizing that Motion was downgrading it and there was nothing I could do about it... at least without specifying other options.
(Side note: frustrating that these cameras work on window at 1080p/30fps but not on Pi4, not a MotiopEye failing)

I'm having this issue as well. I know that my usb webcam supports 10801920 recording although every time I set it, it reverts back to 860420.

starbasessd commented 3 years ago

More than one USB camera connected at the same time?

@starbasessd yes I have each of my Rasp Pi 4s has two usb cameras attached and streaming.

On my Pi4-4GB and Pi4-8GB, I find the dev20201026 works much better all around. You can do a backup prior to either an in-place upgrade (enable pre-releases in Expert Settings, then check for update) or install a clean image and do the restore of settings.

No, this happens when only a single usb camera is attached and the v4l2 palette in the extra args does fix it in the end.
