Hey Guys,
cant seem to get processing to connect to the inbuilt camera on my macbook pro (2011) running OSX lion, running processing 1.5.1
Ive just simply cut and paste the code provided on the processing website for "capture()" just to get the video from the camer to be displayed in a window..
code I used below : straight from the processing website as is...
import processing.video.*;
Capture myCapture;
void setup()
{
size(200, 200);
// The name of the capture device is dependent on
// the cameras that are currently attached to your
// computer. To get a list of the
// choices, uncomment the following line
println(Capture.list());
// To select the camera, replace "Camera Name"
// in the next line with one from Capture.list()
// myCapture = new Capture(this, width, height, "Camera Name", 30);
// This code will try to use the camera used
myCapture = new Capture(this, width, height, 30);
}
void captureEvent(Capture myCapture) {
myCapture.read();
}
void draw() {
image(myCapture, 0, 0);
}
the error i get : print screen shows the error..
error inside Capture.run()
the error i get in the console :
[0] "DV Video"
[1] "IIDC FireWire Video"
[2] "USB Video Class Video"
