Hi again,
Is anyone here familiar with this Video Loopback kernel module ? http://motion.technolust.cx/vloopback/index.html
I've been using it to record the output of http://effectv.sourceforge.net/
with xawtv. The author of this module seems to no longer be maintaining it
and this noble person was kind
enough to fix a device offset problem with this hack http://tibit.org/video/vloopback-0.90-tibit.tar.gz
It's normally very simple to use, do "make" then "insmod vloopback.o
pipes=2" to set up an output to another program from a v4l device. The registered
devices can then be seen with "dmesg" I had an earlier problem with it
on a Red Hat 7.3 because loadable module support was not enabled on my system,
but now I can't get it to build on RH 8.0 and I get the following verbse
message http://home.swbell.net/pannomat/Groovy/vloopback_make_error.txt Can
anyone help me on this? The above author said I needed to have the kernel
headers installed but he was unfamilliar with rh 8.0 and couldn't help me
further. Can anyone offer me a few suggestions?
Anothe question on this issue, is anyone looking at doing anything similar
with the new API ? It just seems logical to be able to pipeline v4l decices
like this but only a few programs out there support it.
