[Gambas-devel] V4L2 for Gambas ...

[Gareth Bult]

Ok,

So we never improve on what's there?
In which case we never improve Gambas?

I think I know why it is like it is, it was mirroring the underlying V4L code which broke those properties off into a sub-structure. However, the V4L developers obviously realised this didn't make sense and now these properties are all returned by a "flat" ioctl get call. (as of V4L2)

What's there is a great start, however as V4L code it's incomplete and it doesn't support V4L2, which is required for newer cameras. This is not a criticism, this is just what was produced with available resources - which is great. However if I don't (a) fully understand why it was done that way and (b) get consensus on modifications, I may end up making changes that are incorrect and unwanted.

Given I'm essentially looking to change available properties on an existing component - would you not rather I be sure I'm doing the right thing before committing the code / work ? (Not least given this is my first attempt with Gambas components?)

Gareth.

Just not good analize of a (web)camera done by developer?
You can only do this on a camera you have in first place.

But its good he did make it and available to play with it
so we can have fun with it :)
