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:

I think a format will fix all problems.

Guys,
I fix the problem with the downgrade to beta26. It’s a bug of beta27.

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.
