Question / Help Multiple C920 webcams. Cannot add more than one!

[DerekICT]

Have 4 Logitech C920 webcams and cannot add more than 1 to global sources.

I name each separately, choose a different in the drop down, and I get the error "A global source using this device already exists". The drop down shows the same name of the cameras but cannot add more than 1 as a global source.

If I create unique scenes, I can add individual cameras no problem.

Any ideas?

So the cameras work fine if you add them as regular sources in scenes?

Could you please get the contents of the file %APPDATA\OBS\pluginData\dshowDevices.xconfig (just use Windows' Run... dialog to open the folder) and paste it here?

Sorry, I am a Mac guy, not a windows guy, so please be patient.

Yes, cams work fine when I enter each one individually.

I can get to RUN and when I cut and paste, that I get nothing. Have tried searching for it as well (just the dshowDevices.xconfig) and it doesn't pull up anything.

Is there a specific folder I just dig into? In the OBS folder, there is no pluginData folder.

Sorry, I missed a % in my previous message. It's supposed to be %APPDATA%\OBS\pluginData\dshowDevices.xconfig

windows button+r

a "Run" box will come up. Paste this, click ok:

%APPDATA%\OBS\pluginData\dshowDevices.xconfig

it make ask you what program to open it with, scroll down and choose notepad or wordpad

copy the contents, past them to pastebin.com, link it here. alternatively you can use the

[code]

[/code] brackets and paste directly in between them here.

I do believe I found the issue causing this, and put together a build where it should work properly.

Please try this build of OBS (do not replace your current installation with it, just extract it to another folder somewhere):

Won't run. Apparently I have 32-bit loaded :(

Here is the info from the file:

 dshowDevices : {
  \\?\usb#vid_046d&pid_082d&mi_00#6&1d2776ae&0&0000#{65e8773d-8f56-11d0-a3b9-00a0c9223196}\global : {
    deviceName : HD Pro Webcam C920
  }
  \\?\usb#vid_046d&pid_082d&mi_00#6&1aacfdfe&0&0000#{65e8773d-8f56-11d0-a3b9-00a0c9223196}\global : {
    deviceName : HD Pro Webcam C920
  }
}

32-bit Windows? Get rid of that crap! D:

Jokes aside, you can try the 32-bit build from faruton's automated builds page in that case: http://builds.catchexception.org/

 

[DerekICT]

The one labeled: Test channel (current_test)?

This one - http://builds.catchexception.org/master ... 624-x86.7z

That is, the one under the "dev" channel.
