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
