From: https://github.com/umlaeute/v4l2loopback Revision: baf9de279afc7a7c7513e9c40a0c9ff88f456af4 Slightly modified to compile as an in-tree module.

This is nice, but wouldn't it be better to consider looking into DKMS so this works on all supported devices and doesn't have to be manually supported on a per-device basis? I suppose even with the correct kernel headers installed that might pose a problem though with the read-only design of Ubuntu Touch sadly, so this might be the only way for now :/ |

No, this PR has been made after careful consideration after all. There is no possibility to ship kernel headers for all Ubuntu Touch devices and have DKMS |
Allow the kernel module to send hints to userspace, via reading the v4l2loopback control device, regarding access of v4l2 device nodes. This will allow frame producers to determine when to pause production or to show permission dialogs on behalf of the camera bridge system.

This kernel module allows a virtual v4l2 device to be used by apps which make use of
v4l2 directly. In combination with a bridging daemon it it possible to enable access to the
Android camera for the Ubuntu Touch web browser as well as others applications.
