thank you so much, it works perfectly except chromium-based apps like Discord refuse to recognize the camera. Turns out chromium accepts only specifics pixel formats, so I replaced |

I tried cloning your repo and following the ReadMe, but I still can't get a stream from my Kinect v2 working. I always get logs from either Viewer program ending in |

It has been almost a year, and this has not been merged in... What gives? |
@joelis10 I get this segmentation fault error as well from running the Protonect test app, I'm using an RX 6800XT. Have you found anything to get around this? I tried getting a pcie usb controller with a different chipset and still haven't figured out the issue. I'm not sure if you can run the app as well with the -norgb flag, but that will allow it to run successfully and open the viewer with the other two views but the RGB feed is black. |
Add Support to use Kinect as webcam on linux
Just found an old Kinectv2 lying around and wanted to use it as webcam as it has decent camera. Searched a lot (I mean a lot) and found nothing.
So I modified Protonect to use Kinect as webcam
The C++ code captures RGB video frames from a Kinect device using libfreenect2 and writes them to a virtual webcam device (/dev/video10) with the help of opencv created by v4l2loopback.
