It works for Mac brew install gphoto2 brew install ffmpeg --with-ffplay gphoto2 --abilities # Abilities for camera : Sony Alpha-A6300 (Control) # ... gphoto2 --stdout --capture-movie | ffmpeg -i - -vcodec rawvideo -pix_fmt yuv420p -threads 0 -f matroska - | ffplay - I'm piping it to ffplay,so this will at least let you test your camera or you could also use it in OBS as a window source. Also, make sure your cameras usb mode is not set to "mass storage" but to a “Remote Camera Control”.

can you try piping that to gstreamer?

  Sure, not sure what gstreamer plugin/sink would create a loopback device, but this plays as well. gphoto2 --stdout --capture-movie | ffmpeg -i - -vcodec rawvideo -pix_fmt yuv420p -threads 0 -f matroska - | gst-launch-1.0 fdsrc fd=0 ! decodebin ! videoconvert ! videoscale ! autovideosink

    per this - https://apple.stackexchange.com/a/356362 https://apple.stackexchange.com/a/356362 it should be, osxvideosink I wonder if this works, gphoto2 --stdout --capture-movie | ffmpeg -i - -vcodec rawvideo -pix_fmt yuv420p -threads 0 -f matroska - | gst-launch-1.0 fdsrc fd=0 ! decodebin ! videoconvert ! videoscale ! osxvideosink

Thanks for the tip, really appreciate the actual commands. I'm wondering if anyone else is running into this: $ brew install ffmpeg --with-ffplay Usage: brew install [options] formula # Install flags here, nothing about --with. Error: invalid option: --with-ffplay

  Your right, they removed that option, https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/ffmpeg https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/ffmpeg. I guess ffplay is built with it by default now.
