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.
