Hello Pygame developers.
I should say it is very annoying that some image formats of
V4L2-supported USB cameras are not supported by Pygame. I get the
following error when I start Toonloop with many USB cameras:
(<type 'exceptions.SystemError'>, SystemError('ioctl(VIDIOC_S_FMT)
failure: no supported formats',), <traceback object at 0xa833964>)
Is it planned to implement other video codecs, and if so, when?
If not, I will speed up my Gstreamer development and drop Pygame. :(
Also, I would like to take this moment to tell you that it would be
nice if this camera development was contributed to SDL, and not kept
only in the Python binding. Same for the MIDI support, and other
goodies. Otherwise, Pygame is a lot more that an SDL binding.
Regards,
