setting up Roundrobin on motionwrapper for cameras

[mwise101]

Does anyone know how to setup a roundrobin on a car that has mulitiple inputs but only can view one channel at a time? I found the commands on lavrsen.dk wiki but didn't seem to do what I wanted it to.  I'm not even sure how to direct motionwrapper to the correct video card (/dev/video0 or what?). Please excuse my ignorance, but I'm not finding any information on this and have been battling it for sometime now. Hope someone has run into this and knows an answer.  also, do I need to use command videodevice /dev/video0 or whatever in my settings in the motionwrapper advance setup page?  Thanks for any help anyone can offer.

it looks like we need to add some additional device data and code to call a select input script in a device template.

Sounds good.  I guess you are referring to the security cameras section on the configuration page and not any motion wrapper settings.  Also, how many camera devices will I setup?  I'm just curious.  Here's the settings for motionwrapper as is:

#image settings
frequency 0
rotate 0
width 640
height 480
framerate 30
auto_brightness off
brightness 128
contrast 128

#http control
control_localhost off
control_html_output on
control_port 8888

#filters

#detection

pre_capture 3

#output

#movies
