Adds a new plugin to receive camera streams from Android.

Uses v4l2loopback and GStreamer to create a virtual webcam device (/dev/videoX).

  • Auto-loads v4l2loopback on stream start
  • Unloads module on stream stop
  • Supports MJPEG streaming from Android
  • this works with my fork of the kde connect app with virtual camera plugin link to my kde-connect fork

Aside from the linter errors, this seems pretty awesome to me 🙂

Given that the lint errors are fixed, and it's merged upstream in kdeconnect-android, I'm happy to give my 👍 to this.
