Public bug reported: Description of problem:
Modern webcams such as the Logitech 960 Brio or Logitech c930e support hardware encoding and provide H.264 streams, but they are not detected. Using v4l2 to list available formats will only show YUV and MJPEG. For the 960 Brio, full resolution is not even supported. This is a huge performance hindrance. How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Plug in camera 2. v4l2-ctl --list-formats 3. see results Actual results: Only YUV and MJPEG streams available, no H.264. Expected results: H.264 stream available.
