uvc_get_stream_ctrl_format_size: Invalid mode

[cesare-montresor]

Hello I'm having some issues in running libuvc_camera. I've done as described in the wiki, but i still have some issue, roslaunch it's returning terminating with uvc_get_stream_ctrl_format_size: Invalid mode

I've being double checking vendor, product, serial, res, format and fps but it looks good, any advice ?

Thank you :)

I think you got everything right. Looks like a bug...

[cesare-montresor]

Well let me know if there is anything I can do :)

I changed frame_rate to 30, and it worked, have a try
