OUTPUT TO DIRECTSHOW DEVICE

[PeterAkakpo]

Description

Currently casparcg is able to play a dshow input via the command PLAY 1-0 dshow://video="web cam". I suggesting there should also be the ability to output dshow devices so that casparcg can target all all devices that support direct show. Currently only Bluefish and decklink can be output to through their hard coded API. having dshow output will open the way to suport lots of such devices out of the box.

Solution suggestion

A clear and concise description if you have an idea about a solution.

Does not look like FFMPEG can output, would need to build this directly on the DSHOW api as another output.

Looks like we might be able to look at how obs implemented their virtual webcam which is a DSHOW output.
