Beta CAN'T detect webcam??
Posted: Wed Sep 27, 2006 11:22 am
This post only concerns beta versions older than 2007-01-18
For some people the beta version can't detect the webcamera. A solution for this problem is to download and install java JMF 2.1.1e.
Follow these steps:
1) Download JMF 2.1.1e for windows
from Sun:
http://java.sun.com/products/java-media ... nload.html
or from here:
http://www.yawcam.com/files/jmf-2_1_1e-windows-i586.exe
2) Install the software.
3) Delete Yawcam's settings file. (The file is named yawcam_settings.xml and is located in your yawcam directory, e.g. c:\program files\yawcam\yawcam_settings.xml)
4) Start Yawcam. (It will most likely still not detect your webcam)
5) Run the camera detection from Yawcam's menu. (Settings -> Detect webcam... )
Hopefully Yawcam now detects your webcam.
