Does not display proper index when two cameras are mounted with the same name #4

Open sampras-intel opened 1 year ago

sampras-intel commented 1 year ago
  1. Two webcams with same name are mounted onto Windows system.
  2. Using OpenCV I am able to differentiate them as Index 1 & 2 respectively
  3. On using FilterGraph().get_input_devices().index("Camera Name") it always returns the first index and does not access the second camera at all. 
    from pygrabber.dshow_graph import FilterGraph
graph = FilterGraph()
print(graph.get_input_devices())
# Output = ['HP HD Camera', 'C270 HD WEBCAM', 'C270 HD WEBCAM']
device_index = graph.get_input_devices().index("C270 HD WEBCAM")
print(device_index)
# Output = 1

How do I get the index of the other camera with the same name?
