Controlling focus when streaming via other program?

[kajan001]

I am using pikrellcam as livestream and recording software and I would like to test it with your motor focus cam. However, the demos are based on showing a preview so the demo is stopped because pikrellcam is using the camera.

Is there some code snippet I could use to only control the motorised focus and use my regular stream to view the result? At a later stage I plan to incorporate the focus buttons in the GUI with pikrellcam.

Anyone?
