I forwarded the information you sent to a motion developer in their irc channel on Freenode and they were quite perplexed as to what you might have meant. The log follows. Thanks! <brian_> I have been told that motion can help me get Flash to recognize my Logitech QuickCam <brian_> by getting motion to use it as a v4l2 device.. <brian_> i'm not really clear on how this would work. please advise. thank you <fatherted> i can't imagine what motion would have to do with flash. <brian_> flash doesn't recognize the webcam, skype does. some issue with flash. anyways, the question is, is there some way to get motion into the loop? <brian_> sorry if this is completely irrelevant, but this is what I was told on the openmeetings mailing list <brian_> "Motion is an application on CentOS that I use to redirect the camera." "I actually manipulated motion to use my Logitech 9000 as a v4l2 device." <fatherted> well, motion uses v4l2 to access video devices. but, any program can use a v4l device. <fatherted> and if motion has it open, nobody else could normally use it. <brian_> right. what do you suppose he meant by "redirect the camera" ? <fatherted> i think someone gave you confused advice. <fatherted> motion can output in flash format, i believe. <fatherted> but, that's a .swf file. <fatherted> what do you really want to do with your camera? <brian_> i just want flash to be able to autodetect it <brian_> skype sees it, flash doesnt. i don't really know why <fatherted> i don't think that motion is going to be useful to you for that. <brian_> ok. thank you <fatherted> motion is a program for monitoring cameras and recording frames with motion in them.--
