VideoInTOP device listing

The Video input device (directshow) i want to use might not be available when I start my TD application. Is there any way to get a list of device strings that are valid for use with the device parameter on the VideoIn TOP during runtime?

I can get the value for certain devices that are available by inspecting things in the panel but I might have to hot swap in a new device and I can’t have someone go in and update the node while the system is running.

I’m working with python BTW.

Try for example:

op(‘/project1/videoin1’).par.device.menuLabels

or

op(‘/project1/videoin1’).par.device.menuNames

Thanks this worked great.

Any way to do this with videodevin?

The Video Device In TOP is the same node as the Video In TOP, we just renamed it a while ago
