Actually, I'd just copy the LibCameraApp class over instead and change it to have a public GetManager() and merge the Still and Video. It looks like a lot of work to replicate the whole thing into the indi driver and given not a lot of people interested in this seem to be fluent with c++, it would get results much faster.

In fact, if it was me, I'd have preferred to just have it call out to a new process of libcamera-still/video and plug the result into the indi workflow. It would also be way more helpful for other cam types. You could use the same modus operandi for python based cams, raspicams, webcams and the like.

I found this project:

github.com/MMTObservatory/pyINDI

which seems to work with indi, but doesn't have a working CCD driver. You'd need to know what properties actually make a CCD and how it should behave. The core indi CCD does already know this.
