pw-v4l2 - Man Page
Use PipeWire instead of V4L2
Synopsis
pw-v4l2 [options] COMMAND [ARGUMENTS...]
Description
pw-v4l2 runs a command using a compatibility layer that maps PipeWire video devices to be visible to applications using V4L2.
This is implemented by preloading a shared library via LD_PRELOAD, which translates library calls that try to access V4L2 devices.
Options
- -h
Show help.
- -r NAME
The name of the remote instance to connect to. If left unspecified, a connection is made to the default PipeWire instance.
- -v
Verbose operation.
Examples
pw-v4l2 v4l2-ctl --list-devices
