Thanks.
But I did not realize until checking the youtube submission date, that it was so old. 2014. Now, I'd like to see if I can make it work with opencv. camview was glaringly slow back then with the video running 3 or 4 seconds behind the machine, and crashing so often and hard that it took a reboot to run it again, and had more bugs than a 10 day old road kill carcass in august, making it very impractical to try to use so I gave up. Now I've found another promising camera that I'd like to try. But this time I'll start with our 2.8 install iso so I'm not also battling with a 7 yo OS called wheezy. Buster is running TLM, and ran one of my mills right well a few days ago, for a few hours, but after the install, the video went away on that D525MW in an ARK shoebox. So now I've bought 4 used optiplexes with i5 cpu's. So the hd with that install goes in the optiplex when it gets here. Which is what I did when this box caught fire last year, at one of the mobo's usb 2 headers, so I replaced that Asus mobo with its phenom with another Asus carrying an i5, still booting from the same hd with stretch on it. The phenom had horrible latency on a stock kernel, but this new 6 core i5 is good enough to run machinery without a preempt-rt kernel. Time marches on as its doing it on 20% of the phenoms power draw. Thanks Bari. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
