Hi Thomas,
Try setting the resolution or framerate down, because high resolution
webcams need a lot of USB bandwidth!
Hi,
Thanks for the reply. How can I set the resolution or framerate lower?
I first connect both webcams, and then try for example with the pwcview
command:
$ sudo pwcview -h -c 1 -o foo.jpg -d /dev/video0 -s xga
Webcam set to: 640x480 (xga) at 5 fps
$
$ sudo pwcview -h -c 1 -o foo.jpg -d /dev/video2 -s xga
Webcam set to: 640x480 (xga) at 5 fps
^C
$
And only the first (video0+1) works, the second (video2+3) never
returns. Can I maybe tell webcamd to set fps and resolution somehow or
how would I do it?
The webcams are connected to a externally powered USB3 hub which is
connected to a USB3 XHCI controller. I would think the 5 gbit/s offered
by USB3 would be enough for this.
The onboard usb3 controller:
usbus0 on xhci0
usbus0: 5.0Gbps Super Speed USB v3.0
ugen0.1: <0x1022 XHCI root HUB> at usbus0
uhub1: <0x1022 XHCI root HUB, class 9/0, rev 3.00/1.00, addr 1> on usbus0
When I plugin the external USB hub it shows both a usb 2 and a usb3 hub
for some reason?
ugen0.2: <VIA Labs, Inc. USB2.0 Hub> at usbus0, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=HIGH
(480Mbps) pwr=SAVE (0mA)
ugen0.3: <VIA Labs, Inc. USB3.0 Hub> at usbus0, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=SUPER
(5.0Gbps) pwr=SAVE (0mA)
uhub5 on uhub1
uhub5: <VIA Labs, Inc. USB2.0 Hub, class 9/0, rev 2.10/2.21, addr 1> on
usbus0
uhub5: 4 ports with 4 removable, self powered
uhub6 on uhub1
uhub6: <VIA Labs, Inc. USB3.0 Hub, class 9/0, rev 3.00/2.21, addr 2> on
usbus0
uhub6: 4 ports with 4 removable, self powered
So when I plug in the webcams how do I know which "uhub" device they are
plugged into? These are the messages after plugging in the webcams:
=====================================

=====================================
"uhub5" is the usb2 external hub. Could this be the reason for my timeouts?
Thanks!
