Date: Wed, 06 Feb 2013 14:57:43 +0100 Message-ID: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-15 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-media-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: 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
