help with finding webcam
Mar 30th, 2009, 12:47pm  
Hi,

when I use this script:
http://processing.org/reference/libraries/video/Capture.html

then this line
println(Capture.list());

reports:
Couldn't find any capture devices, read the video reference for more info

But if I run macam if processing is allready running then macam says:
Status: Camera used by another app

So for some reason processing does find it?

Does anyone now what I can do, I searched a lot but all didn't help.
I buyed a trust WB-1400T webcam.
Also when I try the script at school on a imac then it also says it can't find any capture devices but the isight camere green light goes on.

p.s. I have a mac mini

I found the solution,

don't use http://processing.org/reference/libraries/video/Capture.html
for a webcam

go in processing to examples > libraries > video (capture)> Getting Started Capture

that works Cheesy
