Hey Moritz Thanks very much for the patch - it worked perfectly!
It didn't, unfortunately, solve my problem; however, at least I can now get V4L1 on /dev/video0 with the uvcvideo driver (using flashcam and vloopback). The problem now seems to be in regards to the video/pixel format (flashcam only outputs YUV420P). However, at least I'm one step closer to a solution (I hope!). I just now need to find a program that converts between formats (preferably using the vloopback device driver). Thanks again, Rob Ps. It's such a shame that uvcvideo doesn't have a V4L1 option! :) On Wed, Dec 3, 2008 at 8:49 AM, Moritz Barsnick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Tue, Dec 02, 2008 at 00:04:37 +1100, Rob wrote: > > 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). > > linux-uvc calls video_register_device() without a third argument (-1), > and thereby leaves it up to the system to determine the device node. > > I am told that the correct way to do this nowadays is in your udev > configuration.
