Description
I am looking for a way to get valid camera indexes for usage with `VideoCapture`. I am using Raspberry Pi 4 with 2 USB webcams, currently I can open them using `new cv.VideoCapture(0)` and `new cv.VideoCapture(2)`.
There's a gap between the indexes and if I try `new cv.VideoCapture(1)` I get an error, so iterating through indexes until an error is thrown may not be the best approach.
Is there a method of determining which indexes are valid?
