indi_v4l2_ccd error

Hi all!

I have been using for some time indi_v4l2_ccd lib on a raspberry with an SQ11 cam for guiding with no problem, but the indi lib was old, and outdated. Yesterday I updated it (compiled from the source) to the latest version, and since than I cannot do a still photo. Live video still works, but when I click on Preview, the driver quits with an error. The error is the following:

2018-07-01T06:06:00: [WARNING] Manual/auto exposure control is not possible on the device!
2018-07-01T06:06:00: [WARNING] Absolute exposure duration control is not possible on the device!

I also compiled the latest indi drivert on my main pc which is Arch linux based, but the phenomenon is the exact same.

And since this exact same webcan (Sq11) was working with a previous version, I think my setup should be ok, for even the latest version.

Any advice / help on this guys?

UPDATE:
2018. July 2nd: Just tried another web camera, it produces the same error. I will report it as a bug.

Replied by Rob Lancaster on topic indi_v4l2_ccd error

Sorry, I don't know too much about the V4L2 driver, or what might be wrong with it currently, but you may be in luck though because over the past week I have been developing a new driver that I am calling the INDI Webcam driver that supports V4L2, Firewire, and DC1394 cameras on linux as well as AV Foundation cameras on Macs. I primarily developed it because the V4L2 driver does not work on Mac OS X computers. But since it is based on FFMpeg, it not only supports V4L2, but also numerous other devices/cameras. It supports single exposures as well as streaming. I also added a feature that uses the exposure time in single exposure mode to either integrate or average as many individual frames as it can fit in your selected exposure time and then return the result. We need to do some final testing on it and then hopefully it will be published to the repository soon.
