[Gambas-devel] V4L2 for Gambas ...

[Gareth Bult]

Ok,

I'm still not sure what benefit you get from having a "stream" option built into the VideoDevice component. If you really want a real-time / live feed from the device, surely you could just open a connection to /dev/vdieoX ??

(looking at the streaming code, I don't quite see the benefit / use case ??)

Gareth.

In fact with stream I did mean _any form_ of the frames. 
Other wise you may say it is comming from /dev/video and "in *nix all is a file"
The name stream did sound good for me compare with i.e. th stream used in gambas.
On the web it is also used as streaming audio/video media.

It was just a general name to have.
