The messages are different on OSX because devices can and do have multiple inputs. Selecting a 'device' only is not enough information to tell the driver of something like a Blackmagic Intensity card so you need to add an 'input' message as well.
ah, an "input" method is indeed defined in pix_videoDarwin.cpp, but it is not mentioned in pix_video-help.pd (of gem 92), and I have no hint that something is to be done.
This behaviour of "device" is also contrary to [pix_video]'s construction-time behaviour of "pick the first video stream we can find".
I'm all in favour of a more manual camera control (so that the user chooses whether to open a camera at all), I'm just pointing out that "device"/"input" doesn't seem to be very consistent with [pix_video]'s defaults.
BTW, which devices have several inputs on them, in a way that counts as "input" here (and not multiple devices) ? I'm curious.
