Description Till Dörges 2020-12-18 11:40:43 UTC
The device in question is

  Renkforce RF AC4K 300 Action Cam 4K

https://www.conrad.de/de/p/action-cam-renkforce-rf-ac-4k-webcam-4k-wlan-wasserfest-staubgeschuetzt-1577043.html


When connected via USB to a PC, it offers two modes:
 - mass storage
 - camera


When set to webcam mode it identifies as:
  [34367.545510] uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device Android (1f3a:100e)


I tested against 5.10.1-2.g8f3d468.


With 8a652a17e3c005dcdae31b6c8fdf14382a29cbbe (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SUSE/kernel-source/openSUSE-15.2/patches.suse/media-uvcvideo-Ensure-all-probed-info-is-returned-to.patch) the device stopped working in camera mode, i.e. no more video capture.


When reversing the above patch, the device is working as expected.

Could you please provide the output of

lsusb -v -d 1f3a:100e

Comment 3 Till Dörges 2020-12-20 11:55:58 UTC
The device also seems to have issues with USB suspend (https://sourceforge.net/p/linux-uvc/mailman/message/37178728/)

Is this in any way related?
Comment 4 Laurent Pinchart 2020-12-20 14:26:20 UTC
Thank you for the lsusb output.

The problem is caused by a bug in the device firmware, so we'll need to work around it. I'll propose a patch.

Assuming the patch fixes the issue, I'll submit it to the linux-media mailing list. Till, are you OK to have your name included in the commit messages as the reporter ?

Will try to give the patch a shot asap.

Yes, including my name is okay.

Thanks for the quick turnaround!
Comment 8 Till Dörges 2020-12-20 16:42:24 UTC
Tests were against 5.10.1-2.g8f3d468.

I applied the patch from comment 5 (0001-media-uvcvideo-Accept-invalid-bFormatIndex-and-bFram.patch).

The device is working as expected with that patch.

Thanks!
