hello, same here the ueye camera with the Dshow wrapper doesn't show up in opencv!

Hi @circuitb and @wirmachenbunt , VL.OpenCV 1.2.0 has a new set of VideoIn nodes which do not use an enum to select the video device, but rather a direct index. Using this variant u7angel has reported being capable of using ueye cameras which were not accesible beforehand.

Be aware that you would need to figure out the index youself, probably by hand, and that the supported format information for your unlisted device will probably not show up or be incomplete. This is due to the underlying libraries we are using to get this information as OpenCV does not provide ANY information on supported devices or formats.

I know getting the devices to properly be added to the enum and to display their supported formats properly is the end goal, but hopefully this is a working solution for you already.

Please test and report.
