My problem is I have to capture video from camera but I have multiple cameras. First one is default laptop camera and second is USB-attached Camera.
The problem is there is no 'device' attribute in gstreamer sources on Windows.
In Linux, I have found " gst-launch v4l2src device=/dev/video0 \ "
In Windows instead of v412src, autovidesrc and videotestsrc are using. However, they don't have 'device' attribute.
As I searched in web, people are using dsvideoshowsrc but I did not get how they install it or how they implemented it. Some of them used ksvideosrc.
If anyone can help how can I resolve this issue, that would be very appreciated. I know many people had this problem and will have this problem. Therefore, clean explanation would benefit us so much.
I think dshowvideosrc is somewhat legacy, maybe helpful for some directshow only devices - I'm not even sure if that was ported to 1.0..
ksvideosrc should be good for your webcams. For reference here is the code:
https://github.com/GStreamer/gst-plugins-bad/blob/master/sys/winks/gstksvideosrc.c
There you will see there are at least 3 different ways to select your device:
PROP_DEVICE_PATH
PROP_DEVICE_NAME
PROP_DEVICE_INDEX
So you can select your device via name or path - these may be GUIDs or something - I'm not sure (try to check within the code ;-)). But you also have an index which is probably the quickest way to get you started.
