# v4l2.cr

[Crystal][crystal] bindings for [V4L2][v4l2] (Video for Linux 2 API).

## Requirements

* Linux
* [Crystal][crystal] >= 0.35.1

## Installation

1. Add the dependency to your `shard.yml`:

```yaml
   dependencies:
     crystal-v4l2:
       github: postmodern/v4l2.cr
   ```

2. Run `shards install`

## Examples

Reading a single JPEG frame:

```crystal
require "v4l2"

V4L2::Device.open("/dev/video0") do |device|
  device.video_capture.format do |format|
    format.width = 640
    format.height = 480
    format.pixel_format = V4L2::PixFmt::MJPEG
  end

format = device.video_capture.format
  puts "Format: #{format.pixel_format} #{format.width}x#{format.height}"

device.video_capture.malloc_buffers!(4, format.size_image)
  device.video_capture.capture! do
    device.video_capture.read_frame do |frame|
      File.write("image.jpg",frame.bytes)
    end
  end
end
```

See [examples] for additional examples.
