[Solved] Camera feed not working, avatar not responding to anything

[Draika]

My camera feed isn't showing in the program. When I press toggle pin'n'pic mode to fullscreen mode it just shows a grey screen on both computers. The program does not ever seem like it's "calibrating" or something (no confidence bar anywhere etc.), avatar does not respond to any movements.


Specs: (i've tried 2 different PCs)

Computer 1: Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit OS (no os updates) Camera: Playstation 2 Eye Toy camera that is loaded through a hacked version of the Hercules Camera driver. Graphics card: AMD Radeon 7950.

Computer 2: Windows 7 32 bit Ultimate OS (no os updates) Camera: Inbuilt laptop camera. Tried both HP and Azureware camera drivers. None worked in this program. Graphics card: NVIDIA Geforce 610M and Intel HD integrated graphics in hybrid setup.

I've also had this issue, laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit Service Pack 1, used built in camera (that operates perfectly with other programs: skype, built in webcam program). It turns on the webcam and tries to use it, but it doesn't seem to receive any information at all.

ok well i have some further information regarding my camera for the first computer: it doesn't seem to work in most other programs, only 1 of them. I'm not sure why only 1 program I have can use my camera and not the rest of them...

I think the same issue is going on with the second computer as well, because the normal camera drivers for my specific laptop model are 64 bit whereas my OS is 32 bit, so I had to look for other alternative drivers which are probably not working

2 questions: what program does work with it then, and is that a 32 or a 64 bit program?

[Draika]

It works with a custom program someone made specifically for the eyetoy camera called eyetoy and it's 64 bit i think

The program is here http://www.filedropper.com/eyetoy64archive if you want to test it out or something

The other programs i've tried it with is Camtasia and Manycam. Both programs see the Eye toy as a recording device but when selecting it Camtasia prints out "Webcam not available" and Manycam prints out "Can't start video, try closing other programs that might be using your webcam". Facerig does not say anything regarding the calibration of the camera when it is selected. Afaik Camtasia and Manycam are 32 bit

might be a bit of a workaround, but have you tried using the eyetoy program and then trying to capture that output with manycam / camtastia?

Also, after a bit of searching I noticed a installation video, that also had the 32 bits link (not tested, no guarantees (Also because I don't have an eyetoy) Use at your own risk)

[Draika]

huh, haven't thought of that. Ill see if I can do something with that

[Draika]

Yes! Got it working to some extent. I launched the eyetoy program and used manycam to broadcast the eyetoy program's feed via its own virtual camera as you suggested, then selected the Manycam virtual camera that is recording the eyetoy program in Facerig. Quite a bit of a work around and the camera's quality is not great but oh well. It works, thanks. :D

that does confirm my theorie that the problem lies between 32 facerig and 64 eye-cam.

Did you look at that link and try the 32-bit eyecam drivers? Maybe that would enable you to directly select the eyecam.

The 32 bit drivers does not support W7 Ultimate 64 bit, I just tried. Won't install.
