Hello,
i have tried the new USB-camera support in SDL3 and it’s exactly what i was waiting for for a long time ( i normally use OpenCV, but on a very few computers the Device-IDs don’t match the OpenCV-IDs, which means you cannot open the right camera directly but you have to “search” for it ). Finding and opening a camera with SDL3 ( by name! ) works on all computers ( at least all i have tested ).
The only thing missing is the ability to manipulate auto-exposure ( on / off ) and setting the exposure-time.
What i am doing now is getting the camera list with SDL3, SORT it by “internal” CameraID, choose the right camera by name and then use the INDEX ( = position in the list ) to open it with
OpenCV.
Does someone have an idea with auto-exposure and exposure-time?
