Hi - newcomer to Raspi but long history in SW eng.
Seems this implementation uses mmal which is specific to the onboard camera.
Since I have a load of C920s spare I was wondering how feasible it would be for me to convert this over to use Webcam input.
Suspecting the answer is just go buy the onboard camera.
We are getting a pair of PTZ cameras for our livestreaming operation and was looking for a way to utilise the Webcams as local closeups for our worship band.

Unfortunately with the way that the program works it pulls straight from the onboard camera. To add USB webcam support would require a complete rewrite of the application, adding significant complexity.
