      Apologies for the delay. Some other things came up.
      I was able to pull down the camera information. We have 2 cameras we are trying to get up.

      Cam 1: https://pastebin.com/qHvHKXay
      Cam 2: https://pastebin.com/7DgvP58k

      They appear to be able to post in MJPEG

        Not sure if voxl-uvc-server got removed.
        I can not seem to find it in the public repo:

            @wilkinsaf The current voxl-uvc-server capabilities only cover uncompressed frames, not mjpeg. The two cameras that you are looking at both have uncompressed formats but the guidFormat is slightly different than the cameras I have tested with. Let me look into this a little deeper.

              @wilkinsaf The formats should be compatible. I'll have to dig into the libuvc code to see why they are not accepted.

                @wilkinsaf Are either of these cameras cheap and easy to purchase?

                  I believe so. Let me find them online really quick. I was able to get the video's from the cameras streaming using the directions here: https://docs.modalai.com/uvc-streaming/

                  I moved over the ffmpeg ipk and executed
                  ffmpeg -i /dev/video2 -f mpegts udp://QCS_IP:4242

                  So I know that they are working.

                    @wilkinsaf There are some clues here: https://github.com/gregkh/usbutils/issues/42. It seems like there are some endian issues with interpretation of the guidFormat field. For example, for my Logitech C270 test camera, lsusb reports the guidFormat as 32595559-0000-0010-8000-00aa00389b71 but libuvc (which voxl-uvc-server uses) reports the guidFormat as 59555932-0000-1000-8000-00aa00389b71. So, my guess is that since lsusb reports the guidFormat of your camera as 59555932-0000-1000-8000-00aa00389b71, libuvc (and hence voxl-uvc-server) will see it as 32595559-0000-0010-8000-00aa00389b71 which doesn't match any valid formats. I think I can hack libuvc to add the extra guidFormat and then your cameras will work but I won't be able to test it without one of your cameras. But I will post it and you can try it. For reference this is where libuvc needs to be modified to add the extra guidFormat: https://github.com/libuvc/libuvc/blob/37f00abd32b083a3d748f2a25c1c794578b51c16/src/stream.c#L109

                      @wilkinsaf There is a new version of libuvc available at http://voxl-packages.modalai.com/dev/libuvc_1.0.2_202112182223.ipk with the changes. If you rebuild the dev branch of voxl-uvc-server and install build deps from dev you should pick up the new libuvc. Then you can rebuild and test with your camera.

                            @Eric-Katzfey Sorry for being such a pain, but it seems like this repo keeps moving.

                            I went to https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/modal-pipe-architecture/voxl-uvc-server

                            but got this

                            I keep searching around for the repo, but can not find it

                              @wilkinsaf Sorry, it was setup as private. I changed it to public. Can you try again?

                                    @wilkinsaf Yes, it will remain public. Did you get a chance to see if the changes worked?

                                        We seem to be having trouble finding the camera now which is weird. I wonder if we need to specifically download and install the drivers?

                                        2f9579c4-88ea-4693-b7a8-e67415540bad-image.png

                                          @wilkinsaf No, you shouldn't need any drivers. Any USB device should be listed with lsusb, even without any specific drivers. Does it show up when plugged into a regular Linux computer?

                                            @Eric-Katzfey Yes, we have hardwired it into a computer before. We have seen the stream using ffmpeg on VOXL as well. We just can not seem to get voxl-streamer to work with it
