Hi,

I own an Elgato Cam Link 4K which is a very popular USB HDMI capture
device (number one capture card by click rates on Geizhals [1]). The
problem is that the video feed is distorted when using the /dev/videoX
device in the browser (tested on Firefox and Chromium) for video
conferencing (tested with Jitsi Meet and Google Meet). The same
distortion is present when opening `v4l2:///dev/video0` with VLC.

The Elgato Cam Link 4K reports to have three different pixel formats:

```
$ v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 --list-formats-ext
ioctl: VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT
        Type: Video Capture

        [0]: 'NV12' (Y/CbCr 4:2:0)
                Size: Discrete 3840x2160
                        Interval: Discrete 0.040s (25.000 fps)
        [1]: 'NV12' (Y/CbCr 4:2:0)
                Size: Discrete 3840x2160
                        Interval: Discrete 0.040s (25.000 fps)
        [2]: 'YU12' (Planar YUV 4:2:0)
                Size: Discrete 3840x2160
                        Interval: Discrete 0.040s (25.000 fps)
```

When specifying the video format 'YU12' to VLC, the video is distorted
the same way as using the default video format. When specifying 'NV12'
to VLC, the video feed is displayed correctly:

```
vlc v4l2:///dev/video0 --v4l2-chroma=NV12
```

In OBS, the video feed is always displayed correctly. All video formats
'Y/CbCr 4:2:0', 'Planar YUV 4:2:0', 'BGR3 (Emulated)', and 'YV12
(Emulated)' combined with the color ranges 'Default', 'Partial', and
'Full' produce the same correct output.

With Linux >= 5.9 this behavior in OBS changes: The video format
'Y/CbCr 4:2:0' displays the video correctly. Switching to 'Planar YUV
4:2:0', 'BGR3 (Emulated)', or 'YV12 (Emulated)' shows the video
distorted and OBS shows this error message:

```
info: v4l2-input: Pixelformat: NV12
[...]
libv4l2: error set_fmt gave us a different result than try_fmt!
info: v4l2-input: Resolution: 3840x2160
info: v4l2-input: Pixelformat: NV12
```

Changing the video format back does not have an effect until I also
change the color range (does seem to be relevant what to select there).

Workaround
----------

You can create a v4l2loopback device and use ffmpeg to stream from the
Cam Link 4K to the loopback device:

```
ffmpeg -f v4l2 -input_format yuv420p -video_size 3840x2160 \
  -i "$camlink" -codec copy -f v4l2 "$loopdev"
```

This workaround works, but is cumbersome and burns CPU cycles.

Other reports
-------------

Searching the web for "Cam Link 4K Linux" reveals many similar reports
like this. Noteworthy is blog post [3] from Mike Walters who patched
the Cam Link 4K firmware to report the correct video format. I am
willing to debug this issue and do test, but I don't want to flash the
firmware to not break the warrenty (bisides I lack the hardware for
flashing).

Environment
-----------

This problem is present in Ubuntu 20.04 with linux 5.4.0-54.60 and
Ubuntu 20.10 with linux 5.8.0-29.31. I also tested the mainline kernels
builds 5.9.8-050908.202011101634 and 5.10.0-051000rc4.202011152030 from
Ubuntu [2].

The Cam Link 4K shows follow entries in dmesg:

```
[    1.575753] usb 2-3: new SuperSpeed Gen 1 USB device number 2 using xhci_hcd
[    1.596664] usb 2-3: LPM exit latency is zeroed, disabling LPM.
[    1.598557] usb 2-3: New USB device found, idVendor=0fd9, idProduct=0066, bcdDevice= 0.00
[    1.598558] usb 2-3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=4
[    1.598559] usb 2-3: Product: Cam Link 4K
[    1.598560] usb 2-3: Manufacturer: Elgato
```

I have another problems with 5.9.8-050908.202011101634 and 5.10.0-
051000rc4.202011152030: Chromium fail to access the video device of Cam
Link 4K and the notebook integrated webcam has a too low brightness.

Hi,

I am running on Fedora 32 which has the fix I wrote for the buggy
elgato firmware. The bug in the firmware makes it impossible to
properly select a non-0 pixel format when following the UVC
negotiation protocol. This is because the firmware returns the pixel
format in the wrong byte of the packet. The driver was following the
UVC protocol but did not send the pixel format back to the v4l2
subsystem. It does that now.

I'm not surprised that other bugs are emerging now. Ultimately the
firmware is buggy and announces pixel formats that it then rejects. If
I flip through the settings in OBS, I do manage to wedge the
interface. But most of the programs I've seen that use v4l2 are buggy
in this way. A reliable one is the qv4l2 test program. I've also had
no problems with Chromium.

That reverse engineering is interesting! But I think it hides the real
problem, where the pixel format negotiation on the firmware writes
into the wrong byte of the packet.

Hi Adam,

you are talking about commit ec2c23f628802317f73fab5255cc62a776bc7930
and 8a652a17e3c005dcdae31b6c8fdf14382a29cbbe that are part of
v5.10-rc1?

What do you suggest to fix the issue? Should I contact Elgato
requesting a firmware update? Can the kernel ship a quirk for the Cam
Link 4K to workaround the firmware bug? I would be happy to try out
patches.

I tested the qv4l2 with Linux 5.10.0-051000rc4.202011152030. When using
the default settings, it displays the video correctly, but with a
vertical green one-pixel-wide line. The terminal prints "error" four
times. Sadly there is no debug mode to figure out where that error
comes from.

Selecting "YU12 (Planar YUV 4:2:0)" print the following error message
and switches back to the previous format:

libv4l2: error set_fmt gave us a different result than try_fmt!

I would file a ticket. I did so some time ago, but there have been no
firmware updates for many months.

I'm not sure where this line is coming from. Can you post a link to a
screenshot or capture? I have never encountered this issue. Can you
reproduce on a Windows or Mac computer?

Yes, this is the kernel coping with the buggy firmware. These errors
are expected. It is also expected that YU12 does not work (the device
advertises it, then rejects it when selected). I believe Windows and
Mac (you can use OBS to try) do the same thing.

A quirk is possible (I hacked something up with libuvc when I was
debugging this) but it's not something I have time to look at right
now.

* [PATCH v2] media: uvcvideo: Fix pixel format change for Elgato Cam Link 4K

The Elgato Cam Link 4K HDMI video capture card reports to support three
different pixel formats, where the first format depends on the connected
HDMI device.

```
$ v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 --list-formats-ext
ioctl: VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT
	Type: Video Capture

	[0]: 'NV12' (Y/CbCr 4:2:0)
		Size: Discrete 3840x2160
			Interval: Discrete 0.033s (29.970 fps)
	[1]: 'NV12' (Y/CbCr 4:2:0)
		Size: Discrete 3840x2160
			Interval: Discrete 0.033s (29.970 fps)
	[2]: 'YU12' (Planar YUV 4:2:0)
		Size: Discrete 3840x2160
			Interval: Discrete 0.033s (29.970 fps)
```

Changing the pixel format to anything besides the first pixel format
does not work:

```
v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 --try-fmt-video pixelformat=YU12
Format Video Capture:
	Width/Height      : 3840/2160
	Pixel Format      : 'NV12' (Y/CbCr 4:2:0)
	Field             : None
	Bytes per Line    : 3840
	Size Image        : 12441600
	Colorspace        : sRGB
	Transfer Function : Rec. 709
	YCbCr/HSV Encoding: Rec. 709
	Quantization      : Default (maps to Limited Range)
	Flags             :
```

User space applications like VLC might show an error message on the
terminal in that case:

```
libv4l2: error set_fmt gave us a different result than try_fmt!
```

Depending on the error handling of the user space applications, they
might display a distorted video, because they use the wrong pixel format
for decoding the stream.

The Elgato Cam Link 4K responds to the USB video probe
VS_PROBE_CONTROL/VS_COMMIT_CONTROL with a malformed data structure: The
second byte contains bFormatIndex (instead of being the second byte of
bmHint). The first byte is always zero. The third byte is always 1.

The firmware bug was reported to Elgato on 2020-12-01 and it was
forwarded by the support team to the developers as feature request.
There is no firmware update available since then. The latest firmware
for Elgato Cam Link 4K as of 2021-03-23 has MCU 20.02.19 and FPGA 67.

Therefore add a quirk to correct the malformed data structure.

The quirk was successfully tested with VLC, OBS, and Chromium using
different pixel formats (YUYV, NV12, YU12), resolutions (3840x2160,
1920x1080), and frame rates (29.970 and 59.940 fps).

In version 2, I only enhanced the comment in the code to document that
the quirk is only applied to broken responses (guarded by
ctrl->bmHint > 255). So in case Elgato fixes the firmware, the quirk
will be skipped.

Adam Goode suggested to also apply the quirk to Elgato Game Capture HD
60 S+ (0fd9:006a). Can someone owning this device test this patch/quirk
(or can someone borrow me one for testing)?

Feel free to propose a better name for the quirk than
UVC_QUIRK_FIX_FORMAT_INDEX.

To backport to version 5.11 and earlier, the line

```
uvc_dbg(stream->dev, CONTROL,
```

needs to be changed back to

```
uvc_trace(UVC_TRACE_CONTROL,
```

I am sending this patch a fourth time since I got no response and the
last resend is over a month ago. This time I am including Linus Torvalds
in the hope to get it reviewed.

*sigh* :-( Same vendors are depressingly unable to perform even the most
basic conformance testing.

Thanks for all this analysis and bug reports.

The resend got to the top of my mailbox and I had time to review it
before it got burried again. Thanks for not giving up.

Given that this is likely not going to affect other devices (at least in
the same way), I'd rather test the USB VID:PID that add a quirk.
Something along the lines of

	if (usb_match_one_id(stream->dev->intf, USB_DEVICE(0x0fd9, 0x0066)) {

> +		__u8 corrected_format_index;

> +			ctrl->bmHint, ctrl->bFormatIndex,
> +			ctrl->bFormatIndex, corrected_format_index);
> +		ctrl->bmHint = ctrl->bFormatIndex;

According to your description above, this will always be 1. Is the third
byte always 1 because the driver always sets bmHint to 1, or would it
have a different value if we set bmHint to something else ? In the first
case I'd hardcode ctrl->bmHint to 1 here.

Adam Goode suggested that the Game Capture HD 60 S+ (0fd9:006a) from the
same vendor is probably affected by the same bug. I cannot test this
assumption since I don't have this device (I am open for a loaner
device). An Internet search did not reveal bug reports in this regard.
Most search results referred to older versions (e.g. without + or
without S+) Do you still prefer to test the USB VID:PID?

I will test setting bmHint to something else than 1 to check. I will
report back then. Either follow your sugstion or update the comment.

The Elgato Cam Link 4K HDMI video capture card reports to support three
different pixel formats, where the first format depends on the connected
HDMI device.

```
$ v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 --list-formats-ext
ioctl: VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT
	Type: Video Capture

	[0]: 'NV12' (Y/CbCr 4:2:0)
		Size: Discrete 3840x2160
			Interval: Discrete 0.033s (29.970 fps)
	[1]: 'NV12' (Y/CbCr 4:2:0)
		Size: Discrete 3840x2160
			Interval: Discrete 0.033s (29.970 fps)
	[2]: 'YU12' (Planar YUV 4:2:0)
		Size: Discrete 3840x2160
			Interval: Discrete 0.033s (29.970 fps)
```

Changing the pixel format to anything besides the first pixel format
does not work:

```
$ v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 --try-fmt-video pixelformat=YU12
Format Video Capture:
	Width/Height      : 3840/2160
	Pixel Format      : 'NV12' (Y/CbCr 4:2:0)
	Field             : None
	Bytes per Line    : 3840
	Size Image        : 12441600
	Colorspace        : sRGB
	Transfer Function : Rec. 709
	YCbCr/HSV Encoding: Rec. 709
	Quantization      : Default (maps to Limited Range)
	Flags             :
```

User space applications like VLC might show an error message on the
terminal in that case:

```
libv4l2: error set_fmt gave us a different result than try_fmt!
```

Depending on the error handling of the user space applications, they
might display a distorted video, because they use the wrong pixel format
for decoding the stream.

The Elgato Cam Link 4K responds to the USB video probe
VS_PROBE_CONTROL/VS_COMMIT_CONTROL with a malformed data structure: The
second byte contains bFormatIndex (instead of being the second byte of
bmHint). The first byte is always zero. The third byte is always 1.

The firmware bug was reported to Elgato on 2020-12-01 and it was
forwarded by the support team to the developers as feature request.
There is no firmware update available since then. The latest firmware
for Elgato Cam Link 4K as of 2021-03-23 has MCU 20.02.19 and FPGA 67.

Therefore add a quirk to correct the malformed data structure.

The quirk was successfully tested with VLC, OBS, and Chromium using
different pixel formats (YUYV, NV12, YU12), resolutions (3840x2160,
1920x1080), and frame rates (29.970 and 59.940 fps).

v2: enhanced the comment describing the quirk

v3:
* hardcode ctrl->bmHint to 1
* Use UVC_DBG_VIDEO instead of UVC_DBG_CONTROL (to match the rest of the
  file)

I tried setting different values for bmHint, but the response from the
Cam Link was always 1. So this patch hardcodes ctrl->bmHint to 1 as
suggested.

The Elgato Cam Link 4K HDMI video capture card reports to support three
different pixel formats, where the first format depends on the connected
HDMI device.

```
$ v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 --list-formats-ext
ioctl: VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT
	Type: Video Capture

	[0]: 'NV12' (Y/CbCr 4:2:0)
		Size: Discrete 3840x2160
			Interval: Discrete 0.033s (29.970 fps)
	[1]: 'NV12' (Y/CbCr 4:2:0)
		Size: Discrete 3840x2160
			Interval: Discrete 0.033s (29.970 fps)
	[2]: 'YU12' (Planar YUV 4:2:0)
		Size: Discrete 3840x2160
			Interval: Discrete 0.033s (29.970 fps)
```

Changing the pixel format to anything besides the first pixel format
does not work:

```
$ v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 --try-fmt-video pixelformat=YU12
Format Video Capture:
	Width/Height      : 3840/2160
	Pixel Format      : 'NV12' (Y/CbCr 4:2:0)
	Field             : None
	Bytes per Line    : 3840
	Size Image        : 12441600
	Colorspace        : sRGB
	Transfer Function : Rec. 709
	YCbCr/HSV Encoding: Rec. 709
	Quantization      : Default (maps to Limited Range)
	Flags             :
```

User space applications like VLC might show an error message on the
terminal in that case:

```
libv4l2: error set_fmt gave us a different result than try_fmt!
```

Depending on the error handling of the user space applications, they
might display a distorted video, because they use the wrong pixel format
for decoding the stream.

The Elgato Cam Link 4K responds to the USB video probe
VS_PROBE_CONTROL/VS_COMMIT_CONTROL with a malformed data structure: The
second byte contains bFormatIndex (instead of being the second byte of
bmHint). The first byte is always zero. The third byte is always 1.

The firmware bug was reported to Elgato on 2020-12-01 and it was
forwarded by the support team to the developers as feature request.
There is no firmware update available since then. The latest firmware
for Elgato Cam Link 4K as of 2021-03-23 has MCU 20.02.19 and FPGA 67.

Therefore add a quirk to correct the malformed data structure.

The quirk was successfully tested with VLC, OBS, and Chromium using
different pixel formats (YUYV, NV12, YU12), resolutions (3840x2160,
1920x1080), and frame rates (29.970 and 59.940 fps).

v2: enhanced the comment describing the quirk

v3:
* hardcode ctrl->bmHint to 1
* Use UVC_DBG_VIDEO instead of UVC_DBG_CONTROL (to match the rest of the
  file)

v4:
* Replace quirk bit by specific check for USB VID:PID test

I tried setting different values for bmHint, but the response from the
Cam Link was always 1. So this patch hardcodes ctrl->bmHint to 1 as
suggested.

Patch version 4 implements the recommendation of Laurent Pinchart. It
requires defining the device ID as variable since usb_match_one_id takes
an pointer to it. In case more Elgato products like Game Capture
HD 60 S+ (0fd9:006a) are affected, this version is harder to extent.

Take patch version 3 or 4 depending on which version you prefer. Both
work and are tested.

What bothers me a bit with a quirk is that it's supposed to be a generic
mechanism for bugs that affect a wide variety of devices. We could have
a small array of device match entries as in uvc_ctrl_prune_entity() if
you don't expect more than a handful of devices to be affected.
Otherwise, if you think a quirk is better, let's go for that, but let's
then name it with the vendor name (UVC_QUIRK_ELGATE_VIDEO_CONTROL or
similar).

Hi Benjamin,

Thank you for the patch.

Let's avoid long line

	static const struct usb_device_id elgato_cam_link_4k = {
		USB_DEVICE(0x0fd9, 0x0066)
	};

Similarly, I'd break this as

	if (usb_match_one_id(stream->dev->intf, &elgato_cam_link_4k) &&
	    ctrl->bmHint > 255) {

You can use u8 within the kernel.

I'd print bFormatIndex with %u as it's an index and thus more readable
as a decimal integer.

If you agree with those small changes, there's no need to resubmit, I
can fold them in when applying the patch.

Yes. That's better readable.

Agreed.

Good to know. I can't remember why I used __u8 instead.

So print bmHint as hex and bFormatIndex as integer? That would change
the log from e.g.

uvcvideo: Correct USB video probe response from {bmHint: 0x0300, bFormatIndex: 0x01} to {bmHint: 0x0001, bFormatIndex: 0x03}.

to

uvcvideo: Correct USB video probe response from {bmHint: 0x0300, bFormatIndex: 1} to {bmHint: 0x0001, bFormatIndex: 3}.

That would be fine for me as well (since bFormatIndex is only one byte).

I agree. Thanks for reviewing it.

I expect that at most a handful devices might need that special
handling. Only a few companies produce video grabbers that support 4K.
All the cheap ones only support FullHD. So I don't expect that the chip
and firmware in the Cam Link is used in many other devices.

I had a look at the device array in uvc_ctrl_prune_entity(). Since that
mechanism is used there and in other places, I am fine with using it.
You have probably more experience what do implement as quirk and what to
cover with if conditions. So let's follow your suggestion and in case we
find more affected devices, we can still change it to a quirk.

* [PATCH v2] media: uvcvideo: Fix pixel format change for Elgato Cam Link 4K

The Elgato Cam Link 4K HDMI video capture card reports to support three
different pixel formats, where the first format depends on the connected
HDMI device.

```
$ v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 --list-formats-ext
ioctl: VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT
	Type: Video Capture

	[0]: 'NV12' (Y/CbCr 4:2:0)
		Size: Discrete 3840x2160
			Interval: Discrete 0.033s (29.970 fps)
	[1]: 'NV12' (Y/CbCr 4:2:0)
		Size: Discrete 3840x2160
			Interval: Discrete 0.033s (29.970 fps)
	[2]: 'YU12' (Planar YUV 4:2:0)
		Size: Discrete 3840x2160
			Interval: Discrete 0.033s (29.970 fps)
```

Changing the pixel format to anything besides the first pixel format
does not work:

```
v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 --try-fmt-video pixelformat=YU12
Format Video Capture:
	Width/Height      : 3840/2160
	Pixel Format      : 'NV12' (Y/CbCr 4:2:0)
	Field             : None
	Bytes per Line    : 3840
	Size Image        : 12441600
	Colorspace        : sRGB
	Transfer Function : Rec. 709
	YCbCr/HSV Encoding: Rec. 709
	Quantization      : Default (maps to Limited Range)
	Flags             :
```

User space applications like VLC might show an error message on the
terminal in that case:

```
libv4l2: error set_fmt gave us a different result than try_fmt!
```

Depending on the error handling of the user space applications, they
might display a distorted video, because they use the wrong pixel format
for decoding the stream.

The Elgato Cam Link 4K responds to the USB video probe
VS_PROBE_CONTROL/VS_COMMIT_CONTROL with a malformed data structure: The
second byte contains bFormatIndex (instead of being the second byte of
bmHint). The first byte is always zero. The third byte is always 1.

The firmware bug was reported to Elgato on 2020-12-01 and it was
forwarded by the support team to the developers as feature request.
There is no firmware update available since then. The latest firmware
for Elgato Cam Link 4K as of 2021-03-23 has MCU 20.02.19 and FPGA 67.

Therefore add a quirk to correct the malformed data structure.

The quirk was successfully tested with VLC, OBS, and Chromium using
different pixel formats (YUYV, NV12, YU12), resolutions (3840x2160,
1920x1080), and frame rates (29.970 and 59.940 fps).
