hero 7 black instruction #12

Closed irowbin closed 3 years ago

irowbin commented 3 years ago

I have a hero 7 black and had an issue while firing up this cmd sudo gopro webcam it says v4l2loopback could not be unloaded. There is maybe an ffmpeg(or similar) running that uses this module.

I indeed installed this v4l2loopback and used for droidcam to use my android device as a webcam but I also want to use my gopro as a webcam too.

Thanks.

This does not work for GoPros below Hero 8. GoPro 4-7 need a HDMI adapters and some kind of capture card.

Hi @irowbin, unfortunately, the HERO7 will not be supported because it does not have the GoPro Connect/webcam mode feature.
