thanks for the heads up Stefan, there seems to be a problem there indeed, I'll look into it tomorrow I hope ... best, Martin.K
@s-light I just pushed a fix for that issue, let me know if this works for you now ...
that was fast :-) testested it with an v4l2-loopback device as /dev/video40 and it worked fine :-) thanks!
if you have a cam that is fixed at a device name with an id higher than 'count' video devices - so the list from
$ ll /dev/video*
has spaces in the numbering reacTIVision/portvideo fails to open it as it thinks the devices have to be in order. i found this in #20. from a short look there are multiple places in the code that need to be changed. one point i think is V4Linux2Camera.cpp#L261sprintf(v4l2_device,"/dev/video%d",cfg->device);
if i understand it correct currently in the camera.xml the id attribute in<camera driver="default" id="0">
means the portvideo internal camera list id. (that makes sens so you can support other non v4l2 cams also..) but it is also used to generate the v4l2 device name. i currently don't have a good idea how to fix this in an nice way.V4Linux2Camera.cpp#L258 is one of the other points where the numbering is directly used that i found..
if ((dev_count == 0) || (cfg->device<0) || (cfg->device>=dev_count)) return false;
