I need to use my Logitech Streamcam webcam at 1080p (1920x1080) at 60fps but it neither work in OBS Studio, nor in guvcview nor if I want to save the output as a video file, ffmpeg freezes :( Thanks in advance for you help.
** Update (2) 3rd February: new dmesg info/data
OBS Studio
The following steps work without problem but if I change to 1080p and/or 60fps, ffmpeg freezes.
# sudo modprobe v4l2loopback
# ffmpeg -f v4l2 -input_format mjpeg -framerate 30 -s 1280x720 -i /dev/video0 -pix_fmt yuyv422 -f v4l2 /dev/video2
Ffmpeg => Video file 720p@30
The following steps work without problem but if I change to 1080p and/or 60fps, ffmpeg freezes.
# ffmpeg -f v4l2 -input_format mjpeg -framerate 30 -s 1280x720 -i /dev/video0 -pix_fmt yuvj422p video-test-output.mp4
Ffmpeg => Video file 1080p@30
With the following steps ffmpeg freezes
# ffmpeg -f v4l2 -input_format mjpeg -framerate 30 -s 1920x1080 -i /dev/video0 -pix_fmt yuvj422p video-test-output.mp4
