[PD] Gem+v4l2loopback (was Re: pdp_vloopback ?)

[Mario Mey]

Hi, there. I'm reviving a mail from 2011... here it is the last of the thread:
http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2011-02/086741.html

I was looking for help to use Gem with v4l2loopback.
These mails are the only ones where I found the way to do
it (no other place in internet).

After installing v4l2loopback kernel module, I did what IOhannes said:

------------
you should be able to use [pix_record] with v4l2loopback.
just do:
- - create [pix_record]
- - check at the console whether it prints something like "[pix_record]:
backend #1='V4L2'" (this will only happen the first time you create a
[pix_record] object for hygienic reasons)
- - if so, continue
- - set the codec to "v4l2" and the output filename to /dev/video1 (or
whatever your loopback-device is).
something like [codec v4l2, filename /dev/video1, record 1( should do
the trick.

Now, there is /dev/video1 (also, /dev/video0 from Webcam). But, when
I try to open that device with VLC, I got this error:

[0x7fed08000e28] v4l2 demux error: not a video capture device
[0x7fed08000e28] v4l2 demux error: not a radio tuner device
[0x7fed08000e08] v4l2 access error: not a video capture device
[0x7fed18003898] main input error: open of `v4l2:///dev/video1' failed

I tried to open with Blender, videoOnTexture, but the texture
is black. There's no error messages.

What am I doing wrong?

I have Pd-extended 0.44.0-extended-20130808, Ubuntu 14.04.
I don't know how to know Gem version.
