Answer 1

Yes, looking at the error you posted, jevois requests yuyv but gets mjpg in return.

This is a known issue with virtualbox. Please see http://jevois.org/doc/Virtualbox.html section about adding a device filter in virtualbox. Rebooting your host computer may also be required.

Answer 2

AS USB device and USB filters all installed but with that guvcview does not detect any camera

only when we connect as Devices-->WebCams in Virtualbox web cameras are working can can see jevois camera in guvcview but with this settings when i do jevois-daemon creates problem

have a look at screen short . do we have any settings in jevois-daemon so that it takes yuyv as input format

so setting should be Devices->USB->JEvois Camera  (with USB filters )  or

Devices-->WebCams in Virtualbox web cameras

Answer 3

I got it solved actually usb device was selected at USB 2.0 in Linux Guest with that it was showing black screen

IT should be USB 3.0 xHCI device to be selected in settings of Virtual Box so that USB PassThrough modules works  fine in Linux Guest mode .

Kindly add this line to VirtualBox tutorial that USB 3.0 xHCI must be selected in order to work Webcams as Pass Through .
