Please forgive me if this topic has been covered already but I would like to use my webcam through INDI. I have only seen instances of this under Linux using the Video4Linux service. I am using a MacBook Pro. I'm happy enough getting a homebrew up and running and compiling from scratch if necessary.
Is there any reason why I could not make a very basic ccd driver with the allowsStreaming option enabled in the Class? I only want to stream an image for guiding purposes.
Guiding does not require streaming and actually does not use streaming at all. I don't know how to interface with webcams under Mac, so if someone with programming knowledge can add an interface to support this, then we'll happily incorporate it in INDI. Don't know what's the equivalent, if any, is available on Mac.
Just found this old forum when looking at some other things. Do note, that I created a driver for this purpose last June. INDI_WEBCAM_CCD. It will work with most webcams on OSX that are supported by the system including even the FaceTime Camera. It also supports using iPad, iPhone cameras over IP.
