Title:
Sony Vaio Pro webcam does not work in most of the apps with libjpeg-
turbo8-1.3.0-0ubuntu2
Status in libjpeg-turbo package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I'm using Ubuntu 15.04.
The version of libjpeg-turbo8 is 1.3.0-0ubuntu2.
Expected:
A video picture from the webcam.
What happens instead:
The output is just a garbled picture or sometimes the green screen.
For example, cheese fails with:
libv4l2: error got 4 consecutive frame decode errors, last error:
v4l-convert: libjpeg error: End Of Image
The webcam (ID 0bda:5793 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.) has MJPG as one
of the formats.
Most of the apps (cheese, google-chrome, etc.) don't allow to select
other format for the webcam. Thus this webcam is unusable in those
applications.
This is fixed in libjpeg-turbo 1.4.
