ERROR:root:/dev/video0 H264 format not available

[miguelwon]

Hi,
I'm getting a H264 format not available error but I'm using C930e Logitech camera, that supports H264 encoding.

Hi Miguel,
The C930e puts the H264 into the MJPG. Try with the MJPGH264 format.

Ok, thanks. It works but with very high latency.

Do you have this line in your config?
uvcx_h264_i_frame_period = 1000

[miguelwon]

Yes. I tried to lower it (to 900 e.g.) but when I do it freezes the script in step Waiting for the first h264 frame...

[soyersoyer]

I think the minimum is 500 and you can increase by 500. But it only means 500ms. With Firefox the latency is better.
