 Right.


In short you don't need libv4l to code against the v4l2 api. In fact,
  In my understand, gst-plugins-good uses libv4l,  so I think Moblin image
should integrate libv4l, but it not, I'm wondering ...

I've only just heard of libv4l recently. Any projects I've worked on
have used the system api rather than this lib.

Thanks, Hao.

In gst-plugins-good's require list, I do not find things like libv4l,

# rpm -q gst-plugins-good --requires | grep v4l; echo $?
1

# rpm -q `rpm -qa | grep gst` --requires | grep v4l; echo $?
1

Actually, Moblin image does not have libv4l, is this a mistake, or by
design, or use other names ... ?


Thanks,

Gstreamer uses v4l2 plugin, so that application like cheese could use
gstreamer framework to apply effects to photos and videos. You also
could use applications to access v4l2 directly, like luvcview
(http://www.quickcamteam.net/software/linux/v4l2-software/luvcview)

In addition, Uvcvideo driver is enabled by default for moblin. Which
works with all popular webcams.
