pw-v4l2 - Use PipeWire instead of V4L2
Contents
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.
Examples
pw-v4l2 v4l2-ctl --list-devices
