Capture_get timeout?

Hi,

Is there a way to set a timeout on DMAI's Capture_get call? I've tried to change the open to video0 to O_NONBLOCK but this is not exactly what I need.

I like its blocking nature but a timeout would be very useful.

 

 

  • I reply to myself:

    poll and select can be used on the v4l driver and both they support timeouts. Read event means that a new image is ready.

    DMAI source code must be modified to obtaind the file descriptor or poll/select must me inserted in Capture_get, though.
