V4l2 input

[Paulchen-Panther]

Summary

This PR reintroduces the input parameter into Hyperion. As in the classic version of hyperion, the input of a v4l device can be selected. As an example, I list the EasyCap Video USB Grabber (Fushicai UTV007), which also has two inputs (Composite / S-Video).

@Paulchen-Panther WHOAH! That's awesome! Thank you very much <3 This is exactly what I need for my EasyCap EMPIA chip based clone. Is there a buildbot where I could grab a build with this PR for my CoreElec?

The good news: The build bot is exactly above your post.
The bad: The AARch64 release is only generic. So it does not run on CoreELEC, because this requires special dependencies. You can only contact portisch in the CoreELEC forum and ask him about when a new release will be created.

@Paulchen-Panther I'll contact Portisch, thank you one more time!

How do I 'install' a PR build?
Just extract the zip/tar and run the binary?

[Paulchen-Panther]

@NKnusperer Yes.
