Just to make for others easier in the future, managed to have a video input from a webcam into Gem on Mac OS X 10.14 with the VLC plugin, which I admire very much :)
Opened vlc first and added a Capture Device, which opened immediately the webcam with a tytle of the window on the top: qtcapture://0x14100000043e3009. So sent a message to pix_vlc: device qtcapture://0x14100000043e3009 and tadam there is the live input from the webcam.
What is even better that I can use the same stream twice, once to VLC and simultaneously into Pd as well.
Thanks for all the info you gave, that is why I love this community!
Best, Popesz

Dear List,
I am still looking for a reasonable solution to have a video input to Mac OS X with Gem.
I was testing syphon_client, works almost OK, except that could not make any motion detector out of it, no pix_background works with it, cannot change contrast, threshold, basically nothing.
Just came to my mind the VLC plugin, which I have compiled luckily, but the documentation is so poor to the VLC plugin that cannot find a way to get a video device with one message into it.
Can anyone give me a nice hint to use the vlc plugin with a USB webcam connected directly to the computer? What is the message to use?
Thanks in advance for any help!
