jkpelaez:

One thing I noticed is that if you have another application using the camera, it won't work. DirectShow only seems to like it when 1 application uses it and will return errors when another application (e.g. the gadget) tries to stream the camera data. Is that the case with you possible?

Mark, No other application looked like usign my web cam at that moment, however I reset my computer, try again and now is working like a charm.

Could you send me or publish the code for the web cam stuff?,

Thanks in advance.

Great gadget, I was hoping someone would create one for Lifecam vx6000. Problem though, I installed your gadget and it's showing me my cable tv I have plugged into my media center, not showing me my running webcam. Any suggestions???

Thanks in advance.

It gave an error when my HP Pavilion dv9000 built-in webcam was already in use by QuickPlay. I closed it, and within a few seconds it was working perfectly.

Thank you very much. Great contribution.

Robin Paardekam — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 01:25:52 GMT

Hello Mark,

thanks for this great gadget, it works absolutely fabulous with my Logitech QuickCam Express.

I wrote a Webcam gadget once as well, but mine could only handle "external sources" as it consists of only HTML and JavaScript. I got many requests for an additional source: a local webcam.

So my question to you is: how would you feel about it if I add your gadget-functionality into my gadget? I will ofcourse mention clearly that local-functionalities are written by you.

Hope to hear from you.

Best regards,

Robin Paardekam

Hello!

The gadget works on my cheap-bum Vimicro USB cam, BUT there i cannot find a handle to move or close the gadget. It's not that i dislike the gadget itself, but i'd need to flip the picture not to have the people in it hanging with their feet from the roof, and for that i need the camera control, which won't open since the camera is streaming to the gadget...

Apart from that little detail, thanks for your proof-of-concept!

Works on my MacBook Pro running Vista. Is there supposed to be a 'Settings' option ? All I could do is turn it off, didn't seem to want to undock, and no right click menu. Also is there a way to take a snapshot & save it ?
