Hello,
in the file yawcam_settings.xml, the camera receives a number e.g "1" below.
<void property="cam">
<int>1</int>
</void>
My question is how this number relates to the list in setting>device>change to? Is the number assigned to the cam a constant one?
Thanks in advance for your time,
Guy

I'm guessing that the Camera ID is simply the order in which they are reported to Yawcam by the Video for Windows service.

Thanks, is there a way to interactively query this service?z3r0c00l12 wrote:I'm guessing that the Camera ID is simply the order in which they are reported to Yawcam by the Video for Windows service.

I don't know of a very good way of checking this.
I've seen some Powershell code here:

I also saw some AutoIt code here:

My concern is that the instences do not always use the cam I defined: cam 1 may jump from one to another camz3r0c00l12 wrote:I don't know of a very good way of checking this.

I've seen that happen, number 1 will be associated to a different cam if you have more or less cameras plugged in to your pc than the last time you started Yawcam.
