i didn't want to put some backend specific code in pix_video.cpp so I only work on videoV4L2.cpp
right, that's the idea.
but to open a device with it's bus location, i'm assuming that all paths to devices start with a slash '/' it could be a limitation but i didn't find a better way...
you could check first whether the devicename is an existing (v4l2) devicefile, and if not check whether it is a valid bus-id...
all the things are in the branch *videoV4L2* on my github repos : git://github.com/avilleret/Gem.git http://github.com/avilleret/Gem.git
cool, thanks; i merged that into "master".
i've updated the pix_video-help.pd patch with the add of a v4l2-specific abstraction to explain what i've done
i rejected that, and instead tried to implement a more generic approach (allowing plugins to come with their own help-file extensions which are then dynamically displayed in the pix_video help-patch
hope this help and i hope i've done the things in the right way this time :-) feedbacks are welcome
thanks a lot.
