Hi,
I’m using the MTmini package v1 with my WM6.1 smartphone as a webcam using WebCamera Plus.

Ive got MTmini to identify my camera though there is a slight problem. The original image from the cam :

The image from background3 :

These bars to the right of the screen appear automatically and are annoying. They get cascaded to the other filters.

My config file is :

<dsvl_input xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"   
 
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="DsVideoLib.xsd">     
 
<
camera friendly_name="WebCamera Plus" frame_width="320" frame_height="240" >
       
<
pixel_format
    <
RGB24/> 
</
pixel_format
 
</
camera
     
</
dsvl_input>

I cannot find a method to remove these bars. Ive tried removing the pixel format, changing it to RGB16,etc. No use.

Any suggestions ?

Oh, and I’m using Vista Home Premium btw.

hmm it looks as though there is a shadow being cast from somewhere try eliminate that… and also check and see if there is something on the camera lens

Unfortunately, not a shadow. Those bars stay no matter where I point my camera.

No, I don’t have messenger installed. How did you resolve your problem ?

Edit: And, at a time I use only one application to get the camera feed.

Using Messenger 7.0 I am able to expose more settings by going to tools/webcam settings/advanced but I don’t know how it works with phone cam.

I tried installing messenger and checking the advanced settings, but there was nothing i could change to correct this.

One Important thing that I noticed is that if in my DSVL_config file if i make my pixel_format <= RGB16 (eg. RGB8,etc) then the screens apart from the first three appear completely black.
Anything >RGB16 gives me those stupid bars.

Hmm...No use. Just tried it. It seems to be a S/W problem.

I tried deleting * from MTT and extracting the entire package again. Still the same output :(
