Fix issue where `AVCaptureDevice.usbDevice()` would return a USBDevice pointing to the wrong camera if multiple cameras with the same product id and vendor id are attached to the computer. The new approach is to use an iterator to lookup the cameras with the given vendor and product ids, and then loop through the results and match against their property dictionaries against the avDevice.localizedName since that seems to be the only reliable way to disambiguate between different cameras with otherwise similar properties.

There may be a better approach to solve this issue, but this is one that I came up with that works in my situation. I am happy to hear other ideas about how to solve this. |

I was going to tell you about using a function, but seems like you already did that :) Looks good, I am not on my machine, but I try it once I get it |

Seems to be working fine, merging |
