Question

Hey Guys, I need a solution for using an external USB camera I have seen the issues regarding UVC cameras etc. I'm just wondering if anyone has ever successfully used an external camera with this library and if so what specific android/camera device was used? any help would be greatly appreciated!

What I tried

I have tried multiple UVC camera modules and a Microsoft Lifecam with Pixel7 and Galaxy Tab A7 Devices

VisionCamera Version

4.5.0

I'm also looking for some answer about the usb camera, currently with the camera attached to the simulator but fooling it on having the camera as "front" or "back" (editing the config.ini file in the avd folder) it works but when i build the app and put it on my tablet i can only access the front and back camera, the 'external' one is not even seen by "useCameraDevices()"
