LIBUSB_TRANSFER_STALL on some controls

[positlabs]

These controls are listed as supported in the camera terminal descriptor, but they are stalling out when I try to get info or defaults for them.

{ id: 'absolute_focus',
  error: { Error: LIBUSB_TRANSFER_STALL errno: 4 } }
{ id: 'absolute_zoom',
  error: { Error: LIBUSB_TRANSFER_STALL errno: 4 } }
{ id: 'absolute_pan_tilt',
  error: { Error: LIBUSB_TRANSFER_STALL errno: 4 } }
{ id: 'auto_focus',
  error: { Error: LIBUSB_TRANSFER_STALL errno: 4 } }

[ECMAScript3]

Getting the exact same error, with every control option.

uvcc --vendor 61447 --product 42598 get power_line_frequency
{
  id: 'power_line_frequency',
  error: [Error: LIBUSB_TRANSFER_STALL] { errno: 4 }
}

I'm thinking it could be camera specific, I haven't looked enough into source yet.

@ECMAScript3: can you try uvcc --verbose export and show the output?

Just to check: are you using uvcc v2.0.0, which was released just a few hours ago? Check with uvcc --version.

I apologize for the formatting, I use a fancy terminal
I'm going to clone the repo and build manually, try to start messing around under the hood

Okay, so I got node-uvc-control working independently, I just modified the example to get it working with safari and after minimal troubleshooting I'm able to read and modify controls. This camera should support resolution adjustment, which isn't showing up in the controls list, but at least I'm able to use UVC features on a MacBook now.

It seems this issue is with the wrapper, uvcc, rather than with node-uvc-control itself. I'd recommend opening a new issue on uvcc and closing this one.

@ECMAScript3: good news =)

Hope to see a new issue in uvcc, looking forward to your findings!

@ECMAScript3: oh, and which changes did you do to make it work in your previous comment? Do you have a patch?
