Anyone able to tell me what the status of full v4l2 support is in vlc?
VLC does a great job for what I need it for - sending a UDP stream to a Darwin server to be served up to the world. Unfortunately, all the new hardware available (cams, capture cards) are v4l2 only.... which vlc does not (yet) fully support.
Will a cvs/svn/whatever download and build work for capturing from a v4l2 webcam or similar, or will I end up bangin my head in frustration?
Oh,and if V4L2 support ain't there yet, it would make (I think) a great addition to the Summer of Code.
Thanks
v4l2 status?

v4l2 support is not here sorry. There was some work but unfinished. And it is not a proposition for GSoC (it should take less than 3 months to do it).
But if you feel like a coder...
