BUG: multiple cameras

I am trying to use 3 webcams. 1 works. the other 2 give me these errors respectively:

[1] 1 length=32768

and lastly:

the 1 working is a newer cam. logitech. the other one ( first output) is a microsoft one. was working before upgrade to 9.10. Actually neither were working . but i re-installed motion and some drivers and the first one works.

the 3rd one is an old logitech one. i can get it work on its own. but never all 3 at the same time. please advise. would love to get this working ....newbie here

Fix record

Hi there's no bug there.

1-. Motion doesn't support all palettes yet , so for not supported palettes you have to use libv4l as it's explained in FAQ:

2-. USB Hosts have issues running multiple webcams because bandwidth , so you have to use dedicated USB 2.0 Host

per webcam ( pwc based webcams can share same USB 2.0 hosts ).
