This camera comes with a PCIe camera right?

I think that more than http://crbug.com/211173 it seems related to
http://crbug.com/257632 and its grandfather http://crbug.com/144465 ?

Nope. It's an ethernet camera:
http://en.ids-imaging.com/store/ui-5240cp.html

Certainly could be related to 144465. The driver seems to translate the
network interface to a standard DirectShow device in a way that could be
considered a "generic" video device. It's certainly not a standard USB
webcam.

matt@: could you try opening the camera with a DS utility -like AmCap [1]-
and tell if the GigE is correctly recognised/played?

Strangely: tested in stable today and it doesn't work (camera recognized
but won't start. NavigatorUserMediaError, name:"TrackStartError").

In Canary: default and --force-directshow perform the same: camera
connects, initial shows "recording" icon and shows black box correct aspect
ratio.. then snaps to square (see screenshot) and shows "No camera
available" and "ended" event.

Canary --force-mediafoundation doesn't recognize any camera (using latest
4.40 drivers, previous 3.81 drivers did recognize a camera but didn't
work). I have heard directly from IDS that they do not plan on supporting
MMF.

"TrackStartError" is a generic ~ camera didn't start type of message.

A couple of patches have landed recently providing support for rational
frame rates, HDYC pixel format and others, so perhaps we could give it
another spin at Monday's canary (DirectShow). WDYT?

matt@ what's the situation now? Could you try with a M41 Canary? Just with
--force-directshow, which
should be the by default option.

You might see several "Cameras" corresponding to the UEye, one for DS and
one as WDM DS. Please
make sure to try both.
