hi,

i wonder how i can get the features that a webcam supports. if i use my favourite webcam tool guvcview it shows possible resolution and fps settings. did i miss something or does guvcview use a different api for that or is it just not implemented for now?

regards, michael

It is not implemented at the moment. You'll need to add some more methods to the Video device class. I don't have any time to work on this project, but you can look at http://git.linuxtv.org/cgit.cgi/v4l-utils.git/tree/utils/v4l2-ctl for some example code for enumerating all available formats. Open a pull request if you implement it and I can merge it into master.
