Hi evvvveryone,
I don’t know why the videoin node can’t read from my webcams. If I open the videoin help patch and I select the device, the renderer shows nothing and vvvv runs slowly and then freezes. I tested with the integrated webcam and with an usb webcam.
I tried to update the webcam drivers, dshow, vvvv, but nothing…
Suggestions?
The help patch lags on my pc, too.
Try to patch the same thing in a new patch, with videoin, videotexture, quad and renderer. works well for me then after setting the input resolution rigth.
I tried to patch the same thing in a new patch but I have the same problem. All webcams work fine with other softwares.
try this:
http://amcap.en.softonic.com/
it’s good for testing directshow capture (DirectShow is what vvvv uses natively to capture from webcams)
My webcams work fine with AMCap and with other softwares. I don’t understand what is the problem of vvvv.
Have a look at the Stream Capabilities output of VideoIn (DShow9) and make sure that Framerate, Width, Height and Video Format inputs are set to something supported.
All input pins are right set. When I link the renderer, the webcam turn it on and its led begins to blinking. This detail can be helpful?
The TTY Render repeats this message continuously:

hei alec,
this is odd. have you tried VideoTexture (EX9.Texture VMR9 YUVMixingMode) instead of VideoTexture (EX9.Texture VMR9)? or also just VideoOut (DShow9)?
If I connect videoin to videoout, the TTY Renderer shows and repeats this message:

00:00:31 : VideoIn (DShow9).Video --> Toshiba Webcam.Acquisizione

???
I think a format will fix all problems.
Guys,
I fix the problem with the downgrade to beta26. It’s a bug of beta27.
hey alec,
thanks for the find that it worked in b26, but no more in b27, hope i was able to fix that bugger, please check latest alpha and report back.
Joreg,
the latest alpha has the same problem of b27. Happy fixing! ;)
intaresting. i gave it another try. please check and report back.
one more try…
I Have experienced a similar behavior, consistently in versions, betas 26 and 27 as well as last alpha from 26/1.
I have isolated to the smallest possible patch where it will happen and also how to get video back.
From my example patch
connect VideoTexture to the Quad and I see a looooong freeze around a minute, then another long freeze after which it fails withan error.
if I change the resolution after this, then video in begins working.
This behavior is present in Beta26, beta27 and Alpha27.1 (last from 26/1-2012)
the tty outputs this on my system (Win7, 64bit, GPU ATI FirePro M5950):

I should add that after the long waits, I change the width to 640 in the VideoIn node, it begins working, I can then change back to 320 and it keeps working.
when saving the patch in a working state it keeps working after reopening the patch
