Description Rajil Saraswat 2017-10-30 22:47:54 UTC 
Hello,
I want to set some parameters of my Hauppauge HDPVR like so:

v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0  --set-standard=6

However, v4l-utils-1.6.3 is missing the v4l2-ctl binary. Is there any way to get the binary?

Thanks

The v4l2-ctl binary was removed in r389588. I can't answer why but I would suggest looking at the changes here:
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/multimedia/v4l-utils/pkg-plist?r1=378270&r2=389588

The review of the change and discussion around it is on Phabricator Hopefully you can find some more insight into the changes here:

FWIW, the version of v4l-utils I have install (1.20.0) has v4l2-ctl included:



 pkg info -l v4l-utils-1.20.0
v4l-utils-1.20.0:
     [snip other files...]
        /usr/local/bin/v4l2-ctl
     [snip other files]

There seem to be issues with it (e.g. bug #25327), but this bug can be closed.

Doh! I meant bug #252327. Sorry.
