IOhannes,
guvcview can in fact control while Gem is running. Just use the right parameter:
guvcview --control-only /dev/video0
Thats actually how I use it.

hi all,
does anyone have experience with the ps3eye in ubuntu using pd/gem?
I am trying out ubuntu for one of my systems and have the following issue.
I am able to control the frame rate, autogain and several other features of the PS3eye camera from GUVCViewer, but I cannot do it from GEM.
Gem won't (shan't) touch any settings of the device if it can help it. so setting the framerate before you start Gem should get you somewhere.
furthermore, it should be possible to change some properties of the camera even while Gem is capturing.
in the case of guvcview this might not work due to guvcview (which tries to also _capture_ images and fails doing so), but tools that only set properties should work ok. i'd recomment something simple like v4l2-ctl (on debian this is available in the v4l-utils package)
$ v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 -p 120
Could anyone suggest a way of controlling the camera so that GEM can use higher frame rates?
nevertheless, setting the framerate is currently really missing in Gem's v4l2 backend. please file a feature-request (for Gem!).
