misc@, I hope that this is the rigth place for this email.
I do have LG 5K Display which works well as external monitor. It has embeded audio which works, and webcam which doesn't. Here an attempt to run ffplay as: ktrace ffplay -f v4l2 -input_format mjpeg -video_size 1920x1080 -i /dev/video0 which turn for a moment green led inside cam on, but just for a moment. Quite soon it had an error: ioctl(VIDIOC_DQBUF): Invalid argument and ffplay goes to state from where I can't kill it, nor exit. ps shows it as: catap 32871 0.0 0.3 29236 45860 p1 RE+/3 10:37PM 0:00.55 (ffplay) Anyway, I can share dmesg from kernel which was build with UVIDEO_DEBUG, ktrace on ffplay and its stdout here: - https://kirill.korins.ky/pub/LG-UltraFine-video.dmesg - https://kirill.korins.ky/pub/LG-UltraFine-video.ffplay - https://kirill.korins.ky/pub/LG-UltraFine-video.ktrace.out kdump shows calls near ioctl(VIDIOC_DQBUF): 32871 ffplay CALL kbind(0xebc99793208,24,0x5736b1de16970d69) 32871 ffplay RET kbind 0 32871 ffplay CALL kbind(0xebc997932a8,24,0x5736b1de16970d69) 32871 ffplay RET kbind 0 32871 ffplay CALL ioctl(9,VIDIOC_DQBUF,0xebc99793280) 32871 ffplay STRU struct timespec { 0 } 32871 ffplay RET nanosleep 0 32871 ffplay CALL write(2,0x6ff015cd47d4,0x45) 32871 ffplay GIO fd 2 wrote 69 bytes " nan : 0.000 fd= 0 aq= 0KB vq= 0KB sq= 0B f=0/0 \r" 32871 ffplay RET write 69/0x45 32871 ffplay CALL recvmsg(3,0x6ff015cd4dc0,0) 32871 ffplay RET recvmsg -1 errno 35 Resource temporarily unavailable 32871 ffplay CALL recvmsg(3,0x6ff015cd4de0,0) 32871 ffplay RET recvmsg -1 errno 35 Resource temporarily unavailable 32871 ffplay CALL recvmsg(3,0x6ff015cd4d90,0) ... 32871 ffplay RET recvmsg -1 errno 35 Resource temporarily unavailable 32871 ffplay CALL nanosleep(0x6ff015cd50c0,0x6ff015cd50c0) 32871 ffplay STRU struct timespec { 0.010000000 } 32871 ffplay RET ioctl -1 errno 22 Invalid argument 32871 ffplay CALL kbind(0xebc99793158,24,0x5736b1de16970d69) 32871 ffplay RET kbind 0 32871 ffplay CALL kbind(0xebc99793158,24,0x5736b1de16970d69) 32871 ffplay RET kbind 0 32871 ffplay CALL kbind(0xebc99793118,24,0x5736b1de16970d69) 32871 ffplay RET kbind 0 32871 ffplay CALL kbind(0xebc99791c18,24,0x5736b1de16970d69) 32871 ffplay RET kbind 0 32871 ffplay CALL write(2,0xebc99791420,0x2f) 32871 ffplay GIO fd 2 wrote 47 bytes "\^[[0;35m[video4linux2,v4l2 @ 0xebd29912000] \^[[0m" 32871 ffplay RET write 47/0x2f 32871 ffplay CALL write(2,0xebc99791420,0x31) 32871 ffplay GIO fd 2 wrote 49 bytes "\^[[1;31mioctl(VIDIOC_DQBUF): Invalid argument \^[[0m" and dmesg has only: uvideo0: uvideo_open: sc=0xffff800001ecd000 uvideo0: uvideo_s_fmt: requested width=1920, height=1080 uvideo0: uvideo_find_res: frame index 0: width=1920, height=1080 uvideo0: uvideo_find_res: frame index 1: width=1280, height=720 uvideo0: uvideo_find_res: frame index 2: width=1024, height=768 uvideo0: uvideo_find_res: frame index 3: width=640, height=480 uvideo0: uvideo_find_res: frame index 4: width=320, height=240 uvideo0: SET probe request successfully bmHint=0x01 bFormatIndex=0x02 bFrameIndex=0x02 dwFrameInterval=333333 (100ns units) wKeyFrameRate=0 wPFrameRate=0 wCompQuality=0 wCompWindowSize=0 wDelay=0 (ms) dwMaxVideoFrameSize=0 (bytes) dwMaxPayloadTransferSize=0 (bytes) uvideo0: GET probe request successfully bmHint=0x00 bFormatIndex=0x02 bFrameIndex=0x02 dwFrameInterval=333333 (100ns units) wKeyFrameRate=0 wPFrameRate=0 wCompQuality=0 wCompWindowSize=0 wDelay=0 (ms) dwMaxVideoFrameSize=4147200 (bytes) dwMaxPayloadTransferSize=46080 (bytes) uvideo0: SET commit request successfully uvideo0: uvideo_s_fmt: offered width=1920, height=1080 uvideo0: uvideo_reqbufs: count=256 uvideo0: allocated 33177600 bytes mmap buffer uvideo0: uvideo_reqbufs: index=0, offset=0, length=4147200 uvideo0: uvideo_reqbufs: index=1, offset=4147200, length=4147200 uvideo0: uvideo_reqbufs: index=2, offset=8294400, length=4147200 uvideo0: uvideo_reqbufs: index=3, offset=12441600, length=4147200 uvideo0: uvideo_reqbufs: index=4, offset=16588800, length=4147200 uvideo0: uvideo_reqbufs: index=5, offset=20736000, length=4147200 uvideo0: uvideo_reqbufs: index=6, offset=24883200, length=4147200 uvideo0: uvideo_reqbufs: index=7, offset=29030400, length=4147200 uvideo0: uvideo_querybuf: index=0, offset=0, length=4147200 uvideo0: uvideo_querybuf: index=1, offset=4147200, length=4147200 uvideo0: uvideo_querybuf: index=2, offset=8294400, length=4147200 uvideo0: uvideo_querybuf: index=3, offset=12441600, length=4147200 uvideo0: uvideo_querybuf: index=4, offset=16588800, length=4147200 uvideo0: uvideo_querybuf: index=5, offset=20736000, length=4147200 uvideo0: uvideo_querybuf: index=6, offset=24883200, length=4147200 uvideo0: uvideo_querybuf: index=7, offset=29030400, length=4147200 uvideo0: uvideo_vs_open uvideo0: set alternate iface to bAlternateSetting=0x00 psize=512 max_packet_size=46080 uvideo0: open pipe for bEndpointAddress=0x83 uvideo0: nframes=40 uvideo0: allocated 46080 bytes bulk VS xfer buffer uvideo0: uvideo_vs_alloc_frame: allocated 4147200 bytes frame buffer I made an assumption that it contains some bugs which requires some quirks, and I had search in linux kernel, but I haven't found aynthing.
