after make and make install, no way to get another /dev/video# device (already have /video0 and /video1 as webcam ...) with modprobe v4l2loopback

I succesfully got another /dev/video# device (/dev/video2) with modprove v4l2loopback video_nr=2

but now webcam application (Cheese) crash on load .....

modprobe -r v4l2loopback (removes the /dev/video2) and chees turns on perfectly ...

ad device creation:

v4l2loopback is supposed to use the first available devices.
so if /dev/video0, /dev/video1 and /dev/video2 are already taken, it should create a new device /dev/video3

it's working here, so i wonder which version of v4l2loopback (and which kernel) you are using.

ad cheese:

this might well be a bug in cheese, rather than in v4l2loopback (well, cheese should never crash, even if it encounters an invalid device, so there is a bug)

maybe cheese likes it better if you fill the device with some stream (so the format is settled and cheese can grab some images)

any news on that? have you ever managed to use v4l2loopback corrently? e.g. with some known-to-work application like gstreamer?
