Hi Jens, I have looked to your plugin before developing mine, but unfortunately not all capture cards provide the video in mpeg format directly from the device file. My card (Pinnacle PCTV - saa7134 driver) doesn't work that way. My ideia is to provide a plugin for any v4l2 supported device.
By the way, have you tested my plugin with you card? I would love to know if it works with any card besides mine.
