Does anyone know how to specify the MRL for the default camera on mac osx (lion) in the call to mediaPlayerComponent.getMediaPlayer().playMedia(mrl)? For example I can do it under Windows and Linux using MRLs like dshow:// and v4l2:///dev/video0 as indicated in the CaptureTest sample at
But there is no information on using this on osx. I am fairly new to this area of video capture, so please excuse me if I am not framing the question properly.
The answer post at Get webcam stream on Mac Os X in Java seems to indicate that it is possible. Thanks for any help.
For OSX lion use:
String[] options= {“encoding etc”};
mediaPlayer.playMedia(“qtcapture://”, options)
