hi all, i'm currently maintainer of the "v4l2loopback" device [1], a virtual video device that allows applications to share video-streams via the v4l2 API (each device being V4L2_CAP_VIDEO_CAPTURE | V4L2_CAP_VIDEO_OUTPUT). now (unfortunately for someone maintaining a driver) i have not been following development of the linux-kernel very closely (mainly using debian unstable kernels myself), but some of my users do. it seems that with newer kernel-versions the functionality for video-output modules have been somehow removed from the kernel (3.7.1 has been confirmed to make troubles, whereas 3.6.10 still works). i'd like to inquire, what happened in/to the mainstream kernel, and what's the supposed way to proceed for a virtual video device like mine. (i naively ask the question here, as i'm a bit afraid of kernel-dev mailing list :-)) what's more, if the v4l2-taskforce would be interested to take over a kernel-module that - to my knowledge - is currently the only feasible way on linux to exchange live video streams between applications, we might talk about that :-) fgasdmr IOhannes [1] https://github.com/umlaeute/v4l2loopback/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
