Hack to flip camera

Asus laptops install the camera upside down - dunno why but someone had to do it.

Make a dummy camera using the instructions to install a v4l2 module.

The hack is to create a dummy video device and to feed an vertically flipped stream to it by ruuning ffmpeg -vf "vflip".

Open a root terminal via system terminal

• become root

su -

passwd: XXX

• create dummy video device /dev/video2

modprobe v4l2loopback exclusive_caps=1

• send a flipped stream to it

ffmpeg -f v4l2 -i /dev/video0 -vf "vflip" -f v4l2 /dev/video2

• open the VTC and select dummy video for the camera
