Yes Moritz Barsnick, one thing that can be seen in the commands that I
place, where I show a list of the resolutions that the device supports in
my localhost, detects that yuyv422 in my local takes the maximum resolution
is 1280x720 but in the container it is 176x144 and the other curious thing
is that inside the container appears another format that has the resolution
of 1280x720, and that is that I do not have a deep knowledge of ffmpeg to
use the mjpeg or h264 format and take the photo at the maximum resolution
inside the container.
