USB Camera 093a:2620 not working

Hi,

I have a USB camera here and I only get a black screen.

lsusb gives me:

Bus 003 Device 002: ID 093a:2620 Pixart Imaging, Inc.

lsmod gives me(only the parts I think are relevant):

gspca_pac7302          20480  0
gspca_main             36864  1 gspca_pac7302

v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 --all gives me:

If I try to open it with cheese:

libv4l2: error turning on stream: Protocol error
libv4l2: error turning on stream: Protocol error

With dmesg I get the following error repeatingly every 10ms or so while I try to view the camera:

[ 1200.915429] gspca_pac7302 3-6:1.0: URB error -71, resubmitting

I already tried:

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so cheese -d /dev/video0

and

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib64/libv4l/v4l1compat.so cheese -d /dev/video0

But they didn't change anything.

Is there anything else I could try?

Re: USB Camera 093a:2620 not working

Did it ever work? Did you try another USB port?

Is it an edoscope micro cam? If not you have a device ID problem. If you google for "093a:2620 linux", you will find, that others have that problem too and that it was introduced to the kernel somewhere between 2.6.32 and 3.5.

https://bbs.archlinux.de/viewtopic.php?id=27506

Search for gspca drivers and try LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so vlc. I remeber having the same problem with a microscope.

Re: USB Camera 093a:2620 not working

It worked under Windows XP, but under my dual boot Windows 8 there are no drivers available. I tried all available USB-Ports on my notebook and tried another notebook.

Yes it is an endoscope microcam. Yes, I already searched for those terms and found all the forum entries you posted.
As I said earlier I tried

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so

With:

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so vlc v4l2:// :v4l2-dev=/dev/video0

I get:

libv4l2: error turning on stream: Protocol error
[00007f5eb4000e68] v4l2 demux error: cannot start streaming: Protocol error
[00007f5eb4000e68] v4l2 demux error: cannot open device '/dev/radio0': No such file or directory
libv4l2: error turning on stream: Protocol error
[00007f5eb4000e68] v4l2 access error: cannot start streaming: Protocol error

Re: USB Camera 093a:2620 not working

I try to find the patch I used when I had this problem. Bump the tread or mail me, if I have not answered again until monday evening.

Re: USB Camera 093a:2620 not working

Sorry for necro, but it seems it has 2 problems at least in 2016:
1. Camera itself works only with older USB ports (not USB 3), on USB-3 this sample check hangs forever:

auto busy_wait = [this](__u32 code, v4l2_buffer& cam_buf) ->int
            {
                int co = 0;
                while (interruptor)
                {
                    co = ioctl(code, &cam_buf);

                    if (co == -1)
                        co = errno;

                    if (co == EAGAIN)
                        std::this_thread::sleep_for(std::chrono::duration<int, std::milli>(10));
                    else
                        break;
                }
                return co;
            };

called as:
int code = busy_wait(VIDIOC_DQBUF, cam_buf);

i.e. driver do not read at all.

2. On USB-2 v4l2convert gives error, that pixart jpeg stream does not end by EOF (should be kinda black-screen on most players).
