Question / Help Webcam feed nonexistant

Hello.

I know there is post about this already but I tried the suggested solutions and I still have the problem.

I have a "special" webcam. I use my iPhone to stream video over the WiFi and the program on my computer picks up the feed and works just like a USB webcam. The program I'm using is called Mobiola. Recently after installing Windows 7 professional and setting up my stream again, it doesn't display my webcam anymore. When I add the webcam it shows in the list but not in the preview. When I click Edit Scene I can move the webcam box around and resize it. I am 100% positive the feed is not hidden behind anything, it's at the top of the list.

I've used OBS on my Windows 7 home premium laptop and Mobiola works perfectly fine over there. Before I installed professional on my gaming machine I was using Vista and OBS and Mobiola worked fine there as well.

Can anyone help?

You would have to give us a log file. We cannot know what's wrong without a log file.

Would be nice to see a date on these forum posts.

Sure I'll see if I can find the log file.

Will those work? There were 3 logs files. The first one is 17kb and has more info in it and the other 2 are 7kb with less info but share the same info. The links are the first and last logs.

There was a 4th log at the very beginning that said.
18:42:30: Failed loading CUDA dll
18:44:28: Settings::Video: Disabling Aero
I assume it's meaningless.

I see:

device: Mobiola Video Source

which also says:

Warning -- DShowPlugin: control->Run failed, result = 80070020

I could be crazy, but that error seems to be "Currently in use by another process". You don't have the webcam active elsewhere do you? Only one program can use video capture devices on the computer at any given time.

Also as a note, Win7 Pro (and Ultimate) have much more restrictive firewall settings by default than the 'Home' version, for security purposes. It can really interfere badly with a number of programs that may not take it into account.

I see.
I disabled the notifications you know where it asks you to run programs as an administrator when I first installed it. If what you said is true I've been trying the AMD beta drivers and in the software package is a program called "Gaming Evolved". It's just like Xfire if you know what that is except this is powered by Raptr. The program has Twitch streaming capability and I've been trying it out because it supports hardware acceleration and OBS doesn't. Though I did try OBS with and without the Gaming Evolved program running. I'll do a restart and see what happens.


EDIT: Made sure that the Gaming Evolved program didn't start with windows and restarted my PC. The webcam feed works fine now. Thanks for the help. I didn't know only one program can access a webcam at a time.
