G'day Tyler I am using the built-in isight on my iMAC (3GHz Inter Core 2 - OS X 10.5.6) and using a VideoService and it works fine.
I might add that I haven't really tried using a Video Consumer and Video Producer, so I cannot confirm if this is a particular issue. In regards to Audio, if you don't already know, the Audio on the mac is quite terrible and I believe that there is effort currently underway to try and fix this. But in the time being, you might want to check out http://www.accessgrid.org/node/1792, as there are some tips to help make audio work a little better. Cheers, Jason. -----Original Message----- From: Fred Dech [mailto:fd...@uchicago.edu] Sent: Sunday, 22 March 2009 07:56 AM To: tyler.heaton Cc: ag-t...@lists.mcs.anl.gov Subject: Re: [AG-TECH] AG 3.2 on OSX Tyler, i've been running 3.2 beta on my macbook pro for quite a while. after some software updates a couple of months ago, my VideoProducerService/VideoConsumerSerice configuration would no longer show me my USB camera video stream. rather than checking the logs and trying to figure out what was going wrong, i opted to try removing the vid producer and consumer and added a VideoService. i could see my video stream again. that's the configuration i'm still running. i guess i should have filed a bug report. sorry, Tom. if you haven't tried VideoService already, you might wanna give it a go. it works for me. --fred On Fri, Mar 20, 2009 at 04:14PM, John I.
