usb webcam crashes after a while

edited June 2017 in Raspberry PI

Hi everyone, i'm having a trouble with an USB webcam, it crashes after some time, and if the resolution is higher it crashes faster, im using capture to do that (right now i don't have the error because i'm testing with a resolution of 160p x 120p)

  • We are most likely unable to help you out here. The majority of users use the Raspberry Pi camera modules, as there are known issues with the USB interface.

    Since you're using the Video library, you might want to file a report here, but I wouldn't hold my breath: https://github.com/processing/processing-video/issues

    BTW: I've used USB webcams successfully with the GL Video library before, but it's not possible to test each and every one of them obviously.

  • Actually, there seems to finally be some movement on updating Processing Video to use GStreamer 1.x, which should hopefully improve matters.
