It's been the case since libv4l2 0.5:
<https://git.linuxtv.org/v4l-utils.git/commit/lib/libv4l2/libv4l2.c?id=0215f2ac08c3ad0dc66ad8036f4e186a5e8f56d6>

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?
