Yeah, we're having similar issues. Works fine with the M1011, 206 is quite intermittent.

On our Thursday meeting we had the 206 in working order (however with some occasional connection failures), came back this morning with output cycling between "No accelerated colorspace" and connection failure.

Ah, well this is good news then. We just ordered an M1011 to have a backup camera for competition and to test that the issue wasn't with our 206. Hopefully we will have the same experience as you and the M1011 will work consistently.

Do you happen to know if the source for WPIJavaCV + WPICameraExtension is available? I would really like to get to the bottom of its behavior with the 206. I also have reason to believe that there's a resource leak in the code as well. Running for ~20 minutes after streaming begins results in SmartDashboard crashing with a DirectByteBuffer.get call failing.

Just to make one final post here:

We've received an M1011 camera and confirmed that the 206 is indeed a very unreliable camera for connecting to SmartDashboard. The new camera works every time that we boot up a WPICameraExtension widget.
