See <https://git.linuxtv.org/v4l-utils.git/tree/lib/libv4l2/libv4l2.c#n1210%3E.
On FreeBSD 11.2 with libv4l-1.6.3_4, that is certainly NOT the case. It could be a newer or not yet released feature.
It's been the case since libv4l2 0.5: < https://git.linuxtv.org/v4l-utils.git/commit/lib/libv4l2/libv4l2.c?id=0215f2...
If FreeBSD is using 1.6.3, then I think something else is wrong. Are you sure that libv4l2 is actually being loaded?
int v4l2_ioctl(int fd, unsigned long int request, ...) { ... if (devices[index].convert == NULL) goto no_capture_request;
<your code nippet from above>
no_capture_request:
So the code that would set that flag, is skipped if the .convert field is NULL.
When is it NULL?
