Mostly because I cannot test it (or at least I expect accessing my camera from a VM will be problematic).\r\n\r\nThe main changes requires are in `_get_cam_inputname` to specify how to read the camera, and in the beginning of the module to set `CAM_FORMAT`. Would be good if video4linux would just work on osx, but I doubt that it would.\r\n\r\ncc @rreilink (if you have time, someday)"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/imageio/imageio/issues/comments/109896682","html_url":"https://github.com/imageio/imageio/issues/31#issuecomment-109896682","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/imageio/imageio/issues/31","id":109896682,"user":{"login":"almarklein","id":3015475,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/3015475?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/almarklein","html_url":"https://github.com/almarklein","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/almarklein/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/almarklein/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/almarklein/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/almarklein/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/almarklein/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/almarklein/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/almarklein/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/almarklein/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/almarklein/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-06-08T08:01:17Z","updated_at":"2015-06-08T08:01:17Z","body":"Ah, not I see you wrote in the other issue \"you do need to have ffmpeg installed through home-brew or some other means where it is correctly compiled for supporting cameras.

Otherwise we should put this information in the ffmpeg plugin documentation.\r\n"}}
