Dear pd-list,
I can instantiate [pix_video], but not find and use the build in webcam of my computer.
I’m running Pd Pd 0.45.4 32bit with GEM: ver: 0.93.3 GEM: compiled: Nov 10 2011 on a Macbook Air running OS X 10.9.1
The [dialog( message does not open a dialog window.
Sending [enumerate( makes Gem print the following to the console:
"videoctl: enumerate could not get SG channnel Device List [pix_video]: no devices found”.
When [pix_video] is instantiated it claims that
"[pix_video]: backend #0='Darwin' : darwin dv iidc analog “,
but none the less I’m told that
"[pix_video]: no valid video backend found”.
A Open CV library for Processing 2 ensures me that the camera does work.
Using Pd-extended (shipped with Gem) doesn’t help me.
Any help/clues are appreciated. I’m sorry if this is trivial or a faq. I’ve search the archives with no luck.
Best, Steffen
