Anyone have a fswebcam alternative or help me figure out why it's not accepting my resolution settings? It's a v4l2 compatible camera and I'm trying to take 8MP stills. I can fiddle the settings all day long w/ v4l2-ctl

It's a generic Sony IMX-179 based USB cam (lsusb doesn't return a manufacturer).

What program are you using to interface with the device and are you using the standard drivers or company specific (although usually most products don't have linux specific drivers)

Ahhh you answered the driver question :) -- I'm looking into it to see what I can find.

And program is currently fswebcam but am not tied to it. I may want to cut my teeth on py at some point but right now single frame grabs with a bash script

You're going for 8MP -- what's the highest resolution you've been able to achieve thus far?

By the file size, an order of magnitude less so I'm assuming 344x224 or so (130k files). I figure it's not worth the hassle if moving the card to the pc at this point
