Hi,

veda is simply great, but I want to use my webcam 2 under linux, which is video (webcam 1 is IR, I got a thinkpad carbon x1). How to do that? Thanks!

Hi @vincenzoml ! Thank you for using VEDA!😸

Unfortunately, VEDA doesn't support multiple webcams...😔 It'll take a little more time to be implemented.

Hi,

on linux, I was able to solve this by manually renaming /dev/video0 and /dev/video1 to /dev/video4 and /dev/video5; I can do that in my startup scripts for art production. Consider multiple webcams are present when an IR camera is there, and that is very interesting artistically-wise as it seems easy to remove the background from a body image, face, hand, whatever... (e.g. for gesture control) using the data from IR; so please take into account this issue.

+1 for multiple cameras support!
