Hello!
I am trying to view the UVC video stream of the
HT-203U 256x192 USB C thermal camera on raspberry pi os but I haven't been able to.
I have tried through VLC, guvcview, cheese and ffmpeg
The thermal imager works fine as a webcam on Windows, but on Pi os it wont display anything and each software prints errors when trying to connect to it.
The format that works on windows is YUYV422 256x192
Any guidance on how to view live video from this device will be greatly appreciated.
Bellow are the outputs of 2 commands that show the details of the video stream the device outputs.
ffmpeg -f v4l2 -list_formats all -i /dev/video0:
[video4linux2,v4l2 @ 0x1907cd0] Raw : yuyv422 : YUYV 4:2:2 : 256x392 256x192 256x196 256x400 256x196 256x200 192x520 192x400

Some more information I got from the camera:

I believe it's possibly a wrong driver selected for the device, but the resolutions seem correct.
