video capture support on Mac 10.9+ have been discussed several time in this list.
as a workaround you can use a virtual webcam software that will grab frames and send them back to GEM
please search the mailing list for a detailed setup description.

Hello list,

first of all I am sorry if this matter has been addressed, I did a quick search and didn't find a solution and I am in a bit of a hurry.

I have a patch that works fine in my OS (10.6.8 and 10.8)

but the computer that the performer uses is 10.9 or 10.10 (not really sure) anyway, GEM can't initialize the webcam and just dumps out this message


could not make new SG channel error -9405

when I try to open the web cam.
does anyone know what is going on? any solutions?

I am running pd-vanilla 0.46.6

thanks
