CamooZ - Save & restore camera settings 7.4.2

[TheRealKolga]

@sQumm - I hate to ask you, but the only way I see is to plug all cams out and start with the virtual cam. I that goes through without error, plug one other physical cam in, start CamooZ, save the logfile and repeat with the next cam - until you can see which one causes the issue. Them pls send me all log files.
Worst case it's the virtual cam, but I doubt it - in that case, get (temporarily of course) rid of it if you can and repeat the process above.

See, the issue is this: I'm not saying, that I could not do even better trying to intercept such issues - I just have no way of testing such scenarios in my development environment because all my cams work like a charm, the same is true for my production machine...

Hi, I just reinstalled windows and Camooz was working. I bought the full version, got it working on my Streamdeck and everything. But now I get this same error code. Which was the whole reason I reinstalled windows.... sigh.

Sorry to hear that. Pls contact me via mail. You'll get your money back.

You see what I mean: "it worked and now it doesn't...". Impossible for me to find the issue on my machines where everything works like a charm.

I believe the conflict is my capture card.

I don't have such a card in any of my machines so I cannot test at this time. Maybe I buy one just for testing.
How does it represent itself towards windows? As a webcam?
I guess in OBS it's a "video capture device"? What happens when you click on the "configure video" button in OBS?

I tried this and worked for a moment then froze again when switching to my 4k Camlink source

 

[falti]

pls send me the logfile(s)

pls send me the logfile(s)

 

[falti]

Thats not the one. What I meant is the windows system debug log that you get it you download and run the tool

before starting CamooZ

falti updated CamooZ - Save & restore camera settings with a new update entry:

7.2.2 - Fixes handling hotkey assignment

When new hotkeys were assigned to profiles, they sometimes were only active after restarting CamooZ. 7.2.2. fixes that, so that all hotkeys are active and armed the moment they're set.

7.2.3 - Fixes EOleSysError at startup and 2 minor bugs

When CamooZ checked all camera-like devices it would iterate thruogh all available ones and list them, even those that are indeed capture devices but not USB webcams (like capture cards or virtual cameras - as seen with SplitCam and Elgato 4k60). CamooZ did crash at startup in some instances like this:

Beginning with 7.2.3 CamooZ will no longer list any non-physical USB cams.

Minor bugs fixes:

• When toggling profiles the exposure...

I have checked the complete history here and you had issues with that crash at startup. Caused by an old OBS Virtual Cam, by Splitcam and also by capture cards.

Beginning today with version 7.2.3 CamooZ will ignore anything that is not a real physical USB webcam.

Now: in order to figure out if an entry (in the enumeration that the API offers) actually is a webcam or something else (capture card or virtual cam) I need to ask its driver. That asking was, what in rare cases crashed CamooZ in the past. My take is still that it's a glitch in the driver(s), and yet I'll do my best to intercept and make CamooZ as stable as I can

I have reason to believe that my "asking" is now much safer, but I cannot test all scenarios, as e.g. I do not have a capture card.

So may I ask that you please try version 7.2.3 and let me know it it works for you now.

Thanks a lot

falti updated CamooZ - Save & restore camera settings with a new update entry:

7.2.4 Fixes emtpy camera list item and last cam higher than number of cams

7.2.4 Two important bugfixes - suggest to update immediately.

1. Bugfix: CamooZ creates and emtpy camera list in case of an orphaned driver
2. Bugfix: If CamooZ saves e.g. camera Nr.3 to as last used camera, then at next start it will attempt to load that camera when it starts. 7.2.4 fixes a bug that can cause a crash, when the last camera is no longer available - or the total number of cameras is lower than the one stored.

It's working, thank you

It's working, thank you

@JK14 - that's great news. Thanks for taking the time.

Do you see an empty slot in the camera list or is it really only showing real webcams?

falti updated CamooZ - Save & restore camera settings with a new update entry:

7.2.7 - Smoother sliding trackbars, stability, monitoring mode, refresh options, order

Thanks to @TheRealKolga and @JK14 who provided trace and test data V7.2.7 is pretty stable now when it encounters and discards/ignores e.g. capture cards.

CamooZ trackbars now slide smoothly with much better performance

New listening mode - CamooZ will disable all controls for the user and just check the selected camera's settings 10x/second. Useful when you want to figure out if another...

falti updated CamooZ - Save & restore camera settings with a new update entry:

7.2.8 - SmoothPTZR (Pan, Tilt, Zoom and Roll)

When you work with e.g. 2 profiles, both with a little zoom-in and one has PAN -10, the other PAN +10, CamooZ would usually just change the camera pan from -10 to +10 on the spot.

With SmoothPTZR enabled CamooZ will issue 20 changes to the camera's PAN setting: from -10 to +10, one after the other, waiting 20 milliseconds between them.
