Dear tech-talk-ers,
I'm having a look again at implementing controls for a usb camera using the v4l2 driver, and my approach is to use a python ioc to issue commands and set up and control an ffmpeg server, and hopefully pipe in the video stream into areaDetector/AD. I think this
seems reasonable, but if there are better approaches, I'd be eager to hear them
🙂
Looking back through the archive, it seems this was looked at in 2014, and potentially before then also. Has there been any progress on this topic since then?
If/when I do get this running, I'll post on here about it as it seems it'd be useful.
Wishing everyone good health and happy new year,
