I guess I really don't need a kernel device. This is what i'm doing: There is a video stream coming through in RTP or MPEG2TS, and I want to create an application that takes that stream and makes it available as a V4L device. I keep using the word device here because I want applications like mplayer and mythtv to be able to have access to the device. This is what I need advice on, maybe how to get started. Thanks.
