Video device list can not be updated

Post by ya_vanka »

There is a procedure WebCam.CreateVideoDeviceList; that creates video device list. The problem is that it is called only on the start of a program. So if a new web camera was attached via USB port after the start of your program you can't use it.

I had to make a workaround by creating a new procedure:

Code: Select all

TRVCamera.UpdateVideoDeviceList;
begin
  WebCam.CreateVideoDeviceList;
end;
Is there any other way to udate video device list?
If no - could you please add this procedure to the sources?

Thanks in advance!

I am sorry.

Is my question worth answering?

Sorry for the delay. We added UpdateVideoDeviceList in TRVCamera. It re-reads devices in a webcam mode, and monitors in a desktop mode.
It will be included in the next update .
We planned to release this update before TRichView update, but TRichView was prepared sooner. I hope to upload RVMedia update in this weekend.
