Make it work with Apple's AVFoundation

Closed this issue · 3 comments

Hey folks!

It would be nice if this app could also be, whether through different backends implemented or a whole fork, supported by macOS. I use mostly mac for work with a Kiyo Pro camera and I wanted HDR so badly.

I wonder if AVFoundation has the capabilities that v4l2 has so we can enable HDR and FOV.

It is possible to write controls with AVFoundation backend and use the GTK frontend as is, and enable controls whether AVFoundation or V4L2 is available, maybe. But I don't use a Mac.
If you want to use HDR or change FoV, you can install a Linux on a virtual machine, install this app, redirect usb, set the controls, and save it to the Kiyo Pro. Then it will be enabled on Mac as well.

Thanks for the idea! I can try with multipass, I believe.

@soyersoyer I see you made a comment on this issue here as well Itaybre/CameraController#33 . I'll see if the CameraController owner can share the branch where they implemented HDR so I can try to implement what we have here for HDR and FoV settings.

Itaybre will implement the Kiyo Pro controls in the CameraController. We can close this here :)
