[PD] VLC 2.1.x and Gem

[Olivier Baudu]

Hi...

You can use ffmpeg + v4l2loopback to make a "virual" video device 
openable with gem...

Here's an example of the command line :
ffmpeg -i rtsp://10.0.0.69:1234//live1.sdp -pix_fmt yuv420p -an -r 25 -f 
v4l2 /dev/video69

(http and rtmp work too)

But ffmpeg must be built with the v4l2loopback backend.
The static one here works : http://ffmpeg.gusari.org/static (unreachable 
right now... :-/ )

Here's some documentations, but it's in french, sorry :

Goodluck...
