This PR reworks the usb camera internals to allow seamless usage of multiple v4l2 devices. There had to be made quite a lot of changes to make this possible:
linuxpy.video.device
instead of opencv -- because opencv auto-detection for devices does not work in all cases and often comes without gstreamer support in containers; alsolinuxpy
provides an async API whilecv2
does notUsbDevice
and renaming it toV4l2Device
to make clear that it uses the v4l2 APIs fromlinuxpy.video.device
ToDos
V4l2Device
.NOTE: if cameras only show black images they might have gotten into an undefined state. Try unplug/replug them or restart the host system.
