[spook-l] How to using raw (VIDEO_PALETTE_RGB24)

[Sam H.]

Hi,
     I got a Zoran-based camera, and I can use driver from [1] to make it 
work with xawtv.
But the driver only support V4L version-1 and do not support VIDIOCSPICT 
ioctl() command.
The driver only supports VIDEO_PALETTE_RGB24, VIDEO_PALETTE_JPEG (I do not 
test yet).
I can not get any detail document about the driver or hardware (USB 
commands),
so I can only modify spook to make it work.

1. I comment input_v4l.c:v4l_setup() to not yo call ioctl() with VIDIOCSPICT
    to set format as VIDEO_PALETTE_YUV420P.
2. I modify input_v4l.c:capture_loop() to call ioctl() with VIDIOCMCAPTURE 
and format
    VIDEO_PALETTE_RGB24
3. I add "rgb24_yuv420p(conf->mmap_buf + conf->vm.offsets[cur_buf], 
f->width, f->height);"
    before  input_v4l.c:capture_loop() call copy_yuv420p_to_uyvy().

Even it work, but the performance is not good when I use VLC to connect rtsp 
(MPEG4) streaming.

How can I make it work with VIDEO_PALETTE_RGB24 raw data?

Best regards,
H.
