PS3 Eye camera plugin is still useable?

vvvv beta question
#1

Hi,
I also wrote comment in plugin page.
ps3-eye-multi-camera
If you have used this plugin correctly, comment please.

I tried this plugin.
but node color is red, doesn’t work.

I think I followed his guide.

http://codelaboratories.com/downloads/

  1. CL Eye Platform Driver install
  2. CL Eye Platform SDK install
  3. PS3EyeMulti-bin.zip download and run

and…

what is freeframe?
following @liquid’s comment, I copied “PS3EyeMulti.dll” to “C:\vvvv_45beta29_x86\lib\thirdparty\freeframes”.
As freeframes folder doesn’t exist, I created.

but it doesn’t work. yet.
CL Eye Driver’s CL-Eye Test is working.

If you know my mistake, teach me please.

I would tell you to use this: vvvv.packs.image
But in last release the Ps3eye wasn’t implemented yet…
You could try the previous one… the best performances I had were using this contribution from Elliot Woods
Good Luck.

@robe thanks!
I downloaded previous zip file.

VVVV.Nodes_.OpenCV.zip - 31.05.12 [00:42 UTC](00:42 UTC) by elliotwoods | 1074

vvvv.packs.image

it has “VideoIn (CLEye) help.v4p”.
but this patch also doesn’t work. anything adding need?

#4

if you installed the drivers form codelaboratories you should also be able to see the ps3eye as an option in the ordinary [VideoIn (Dshow9](https://vvvv.org/documentation/VideoIn-(Dshow9) node.

performance seems to be comparable to elliots implementation but with less possibilities to set up the image properties.
(maybe related: when using an usb extension cable i was able to get the cam working this way but not with elliot’s nodes).

wow @motzi, it works.
https://vvvv.org/sites/default/files/imagecache/large/images/VideoIn%20(DShow9)%20help_2013.03.07-21.58.43.png

and then, “VideoIn (CLEye) help.v4p” also works that didn’t work before.

I don’t know why.
anyway thanks!
