V4L2 capture method

Post by Blazer »

I have several sites using ZM 1.23 + mjpeg-streamer utilizing 5+ cameras.
I recently performed a test of, instead of using mjpeg-streamer, instead using ZM 1.24.x and the V4L2 capture method. (I also tried 1.24.x + mjpeg-streamer, but that fails with numerous "unable to decode jpeg" and "2 SOI markers" error, but thats another story).

When using the V4L2 capture method, I don't seem to be able to get more than 5FPS on a test setup using only a single UVC camera. The same camera on the same machine with mjpeg-streamer + ZM 1.23 gets me 25-30 FPS.

Is there anything I can do to increase the FPS using v4l2 capture method? At only 5FPS it is almost unusable, as even people slowly walking by are just a blur and cannot even discern their faces.
