[Linux-uvc-devel] V4L1 backwards compatibility

[Mikael N. <mi...@na...>]

Hi!

I wonder: what is the reason that the v4l1 backwards compatibility
module (videodev) does not seem to work with the uvc driver? What would
be required to get it to work?

Background: I'm forced to use a proprietary videoconf app that only
supports v4l1 at the moment. And it does not work with my cam,
unfortunately.

I've talked to a technician and he told me that v4l2 is not a priority
at the moment, and "I was under the impression that V4L2 was supposed to
be backwards compatible with V4L, but it appears this is not the case."

Well, the videodev module *does* exist, so why doesn't it work?
