[Gambas-devel] V4L2 for Gambas ...

[Gareth Bult]

Hi, 

After plugging in a new camera and finding it only supports V4L2 and hence doesn't work (at all) with the Gambas V4L interface, I sat down and re-coded a component from scratch for V4L2. This is now working and includes conversion routines for non-RGB devices. (the #2 API is actually quite different to #1) 

To get a clean start, I've called it "VideoDevice2" and apart from that (and a few properties I'm still in the process of implementing) it's a drop in replacement for the current "VideoDevice" object. 

Question:: should I submit this as a new module / new object type, or should I try to integrate it into VideoDevice such that people don't need to worry about whether they are using V4L or V4L2 ? (i.e. so a new object type is not needed?) 

Gareth.
