Hi Ktu, I told you when you shared your code in this list I'd give you some feedback. I ended up using it a couple of months after that and totally forgot about telling you how it went, so sorry about that.
But yes, it worked out great for Macs, which was the problem I was trying to solve. As I mentioned in my answer in SO, the code failed to get the correct camera for some laptops. I tried it in 2 machines, one was a Toshiba, the other one I can't remember for sure, but I think it was an HP. In both cases, it was Windows, one was running XP, the other one was running Vista, IIRC. The cameras were the ones that come built into the computer. I noticed I could detect those cameras fine the "regular way", and since I was in a rush, I just checked if the client was running Mac or not. If Mac, I used your code; if not, just went with the "regular way" (read, calling getCamera naively). I really didn't put much though to it; it just worked in the cases I tested and since the time frame was rather limiting, I left it that way. So that's why I mentioned some other possible cases were it could fail. Not that I found them, but I didn't test thoroughly either. Anyway, thanks for your class, it was very helpful (and I apologize again for not giving you proper feedback at the moment, as I said I would! But better late than never) Cheers Juan Pablo Califano 2010/6/16 Ktu <[email protected]> > Hey List, > > Thanks to Ben and Juan I have made an update to my CameraDetection class. > > ChangeLog: > force settings dialog to open every time unless camera access is already > allowed > implement timer for checking permissions, sometimes the settings dialog > does > not dispatch > some logic updates > cleaner code (only 3 magic values) > > Check it out: link <http://blog.cataclysmicrewind.com/webcamdetection> > > Juan Pablo Califano! > I noticed today that it was your response to a question on > stackoverflow.comthat led Ben to my class.
