Using /dev/video0

Open alduxvm opened this issue 7 years ago • 3 comments

This is not an issue, just like a question or request... how can we change it to read a device like /dev/video0 instead of the rpi camera? thanks a lot!

Hi ! Sorry for the late reply. I'm not quite sure... It uses the raspivid command (https://github.com/WebMaestroFr/rpi-mpeg-ts/blob/master/camera/index.js), but maybe this can be changed to work with more devices. I won't have time to work on this now, sorry. Please let me know if you figure something out ;)

One could quite easily replace the raspivid command with fswebcam to use /dev/video0 instead of the RPi camera. I don't have a webcam here to test, but it shouldn't be that hard.

True. When I get some time I'll try it out.
