Hello Macam developers,
I found the Macam project when looking for an OS X driver for my
Kodak EZ-200 webcam. I'm familiar with coding using Xcode and
software development in general so if some technical stuff is
required to troubleshoot this I'm not hesitant to jump in.
I'm using Tiger 10.4.6 on a 1.83 Ghz Macbook Core Duo. It's pretty
much a stock machine without any software updates applied because
Quicktime 7.1.3 breaks the current Flip4Mac WMV components. I can
retest on 10.4.8 with updates if necessary since I've got some free
space on my HD to fiddle around.
I downloaded Macam 0.0.9 and started the "Macam" application. I get
the brushed metal interface with a black rectangle and "Status: No
Camera".
Now, I connect the Kodak EZ-200 to one of my Macbook's USB ports, the
Macam application window gets updated: the "Play" button gets
activated and the status bar now reads "Status: Connected to Kodak
EZ200 (experimental)". The black rectangle inside the window also
resizes from 320x240 to 640x480. So far so good it seems.
Since I'm not familiar with Macam or how it should work, I pressed
the Play button. Three things happen then: the Play icon becomes a
Pause icon, the status bar now reads "Status: Playing" and the black
rectangle turns a solid shade of grey. Also, the toolbar icons change
their state a bit ("image snapshot" is now enabled).
Nothing much happens at this moment. I can create image snapshots by
clicking the button, but they're all grey. Adjusting the sliders in
the camera video settings drawer doesn't do a thing - I can not
change the shade of grey, it remains hex color #808080.
Since nothing seems to work, I press the Pause button. The rectangle
turns black again. I tried changing the "Format" of the camera
settings, but none seem to work - the rectangle size changes but I
only get a black or grey rectangle. Quitting the application works
properly when the application is in Pause mode.
I'd gladly help debugging this problem and getting the camera to
work, but I would need some tips to start my journey. Thanks in
advance for your time and replies, keep up the good work!
With kind regards, from the Netherlands,
Frank Schoep
