Subject: Replacement for vloopback?
Date: Wed, 06 Feb 2013 14:57:43 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <ketngk$dit$1@ger.gmane.org> (raw)

Hello

I need to have access to my webcam from two applications (one is
"motion", the other a video sip phone).

I have googled a lot, but only found vloopback as a method to access a
video device from two applications. However, vloopback seems to rely on
V4L1 which is mostly no longer compiled into the kernel by most distros.
Additionally, it does not seem to compile against newer kernels.

So, my question ist: Is vloopback the right way to go for this
requirement? If yes, how to get it working?

If not, what can I use to have two apps accessing the video stream from
the webcam?

Thanks a lot for any help

Michael
