deviceName is not guaranteed to be unique

import gohai.glvideo.*; GLCapture video,video2;

void setup() { size(320, 240, P2D);

video = new GLCapture(this, devices[0]);// NOTE THIS CAM IS THE SAME AS devices[1] "USB2.0 PC Camera" video2 = new GLCapture(this, devices[1]);// NOTE THIS CAM IS THE SAME AS devices[0] "USB2.0 PC Camera"

video.start(); video2.start(); }

void draw() { background(0); if (video.available()) { video.read(); } if (video2.available()) { video2.read(); } image(video, 0, 0, width, height); image(video2, 0, 0, width/2, height/2); }

Why wont processing or it's libraries do what i wrote above?

Hi @FrankOcean11 - the issue here is that the device name is the same for both cameras. I am no longer working on this library, so I won't be able to do anything about it currently.

right i know this but what i dont understand is why does this matter when they are both on 2 diff USB ports hence having 2 diff port address, well thanks thought i ask.
