Hello List, I've uploaded a snapshot that contains an enabled v4l2 plugin. It should work equally well as the v4l1 plugin when your system supports the XV display method. The v4l2 plugin: - only supports XV video display method because it's the only one that works without any limitation - supports snapshots - supports all controls a driver exports (Video->Video hardware controls) - should work on more hardware The drawback of exporting all hardware control functionality is that channel files are now "bound" to a specific plugin/hardware combination. If you use the same file on multiple devices, expect problems. Example: If I use the channel file created by the v4l2 plugin for a XVIDEO device, the picture settings are messed up and I don't see an image. TODO before the next release: - Add a warning if a channel file is loaded for another device than the one it was created with or change the channel file naming scheme (?) - Doc update für v4l2 plugin - Many kdDebug() -> kdWarning() conversions - it's a mess all over the program - Pray to get feedback from a few people whether the plugin works *hint* Have a lot of fun, Dirk
