Set up device on Gstreamer

[tgn1]

Is there another way than "device=/dev/video1" (for example) to set up the device I want to use for the stream?

I would like to connect through the usb port, somehting like: device="(usb-0000:00:14.0-2)" as you can find it with the
v4l2-ctl --list-devices command. ("HD Pro Webcam C920 (usb-0000:00:14.0-2):")

Thank you!

You can use the GstDeviceMonitor API to discover devices, see e.g.

 gst-device-monitor-1.0 Video/Source

for a list.

We provide GstDeviceMonitor, to help you enumerate the cameras (and
other devices). This will give you a list of GstDevice, and there is
two methods for getting configured element, gst_device_create_element()
and gst_device_reconfigure_elements(). Filter classes, for getting
camera, are Source, Sink and Video.

regards,
Nicolas

Got you, I'll be looking at this API.

But, I wish there was a way to just put a command in the pipeline and make it work. Is there any way?

Thank you!
