Using my Canon 70D DSLR camera as a web cam on Linux

You'll need:

  1. Video 4 Linux loopback device kernel module (v4l2loopback) - Source: https://github.com/umlaeute/v4l2loopback (You might find builds in your distro's repos - I'm using Fedora so had to build it myself using https://github.com/danielkza/v4l2loopback-fedora/)
  2. gPhoto2 - this is what allows you to access your cameras live feed over USB - this was available in Fedora's repos.
  3. GStreamer or ffmpeg - this is what lets you stream the output from gPhoto2 into the loopback device.

It's been a little while since I set it all up so I can't remember all of the installation details, which will probably be different for your distro anyway unless you're using Fedora. Apologies if I have forgotten something as wel.

Favorite for loops
View forloops.js
for (var i = 0, m = array.length; i < m; i++){ /// ... }
/// this pattern reduces the cost of counting the array or other object more than once
