2 webcameras issue

2 webcameras issue was created by Alexandru Barbovschi

I have a laptop with Kubuntu 14.10. I am using PPAs. As you might already know installing KStars-Bleeding is impossible on versions below 15.04. So I decided to use CCDCiel. But I have run into a problem... I need to start a standalone INDI server. No problem, it's easy! But have 2 cameras - laptop's incorporated and a DMK, both are V4L2 devices. Now the question - how to tell INDI V4L2 driver that I want to use DMK instead of laptop's incorporated one? :huh:

You need to set the port to the /dev/video* corresponding to your DMK.
You can use dmesg to find the right device after you connect the DMK.

To change the port with CCDciel open the menu "Edit/INDI settings" before to click the Connect button.
Change the port in V4l2CCD / Options tab.
