Let us to set our custom device name

[lopi-py]

Thanks for this very useful library. The title is self-explanatory, I always see it as "DirectShow Softcam"

I'd like to change it

Thank you for your request!

You can modify the name through creating your own custom DLL by changing this line:

softcam/src/softcam/softcam.cpp

Line 19 in ce04ee4

const wchar_t FILTER_NAME[] = L"DirectShow Softcam";

However, I guess this might not be an expected answer.
Initially, I wanted to allow users to specify the name on the scCreateCamera API. But Windows does not allow changing the installed device name, which is written on the registry, in such a way.

Ah yes, that works I guess, maybe it would be worth to specify the name in DllRegisterServer as a parameter?

Interesting. Let me think.
