Hi All I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to load the uvcvideo driver so as to pick a different device other than /dev/video0 (say /dev/video1).
The reason I ask is this. I'm trying to use an application that only recognises V4L1. I'm using a program called flashcam which maps a V4L2 device to a V4L1 device, with the input and output split across different devices. That is, if a V4L2 device is on /dev/video0, then /dev/video1 will be the input pipe and /dev/video2 will be the output pipe (using the vloopback kernel module) but they will be V4L1 versions of /dev/video0. The problem is, however, that the application I'm using will only look at /dev/video0. So, I need to set uvcvideo to choose another (later numbered) device, so I can sym link the V4L1 output pipe (created by flashcam) back to /dev/video0. With some searching, I found that the mod_quickcam driver has as one of its parameters: parm: video_nr int, description "Set videodevice number (/dev/videoX)" However, with uvcvideo, there doesn't seem to be any such option. I've also tried to find an old V4L1 driver to use with my webcam (ie a Logitech AF Sphere/Orbit) but I've had no luck. Any help or information anyone can provide would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance, Rob
