Description

Virtual camera driver for Linux

Installation Instructions

Enable this COPR repository:

dnf copr enable rok/akvcam

Make sure kernel development package is installed

dnf install kernel-devel

Also, make sure that you have kernel-devel package installed for the current version of running kernel. If you just updated your system and that included kernel update, you might want to reboot the system so that the latest kernel (with its corresponding kernel-devel package) is in use. Otherwise, in some circumstances, the kernel module will not be built when the packages are installed, but rather on the next reboot.

Install the package with kernel module:

dnf install akvcam

Load the kernel module:

akmods
systemctl restart systemd-modules-load.service

The kernel module should be automatically reloaded on reboot.

Use

A sample configuration file is installed to /etc/akvcam/config.ini. It configures a virtual camera ("capture") device at /dev/video9 and a corresponding input feed ("output") device at /dev/video7.

You can feed data to /dev/video7, e.g.,

gst-launch-1.0 -v videotestsrc ! video/x-raw,format=RGB ! videoconvert ! v4l2sink device=/dev/video7

and read/display it from /dev/video9, e.g.,

ffplay /dev/video9

For further configuration instructions, see: https://github.com/webcamoid/akvcam/wiki/Configure-the-cameras

Make sure to reload the akvcam module if you change the configuration file.
