Multiplatform webcam library for Delphi?

[riahc3]

Hello

Is there some kind of multiplatform library for Delphi (with its SDK) to access webcams while programming? The goal is to take still images but Ive only found ones that are compatible with Windows.

I really doubt that there are multi-platforms drivers. I haven't seen any although that still doesn't mean there aren't any. Which Delphi are you using?

Not for me, for a colleague. No idea at all.

I explained that the only way to do this (if there is no multi-platform drivers) is to load one for each platform (only three: Linux, OS X and Windows) but the binary would be huge....

The version is FireMonkey from Embarcadero.

I am imagining its the bottom link saying Delphi XE4

It says XE4 is for iOS, Windows and Mac, so no Linux anyway.

Then OS X and Windows....

Hey, could I do something with libVLC?

That could work.
