Eyetoy webcam doesn't show up as a choice
On my old computer I've used this software and it detected my eyetoy webcam just fine. (it was a single core AMD Barton). And I could use it. But I'm on my new computer now (Dual core Opteron) and Yawcam doesn't detect my webcam despite me installing the drivers for it. I've checked using other video capturing programs and it sees the webcam just fine.
All it lists under webcams to select is "Microsoft WDM capture....". And I tried using that and preview and it shows black.

Eye Toy
Hey everyone, New guy here
I just wanted to pipe in on this-
I am using an Eye Toy and the lastest release of Yawcam, (Build 2006-04-10 Vers 0.2.67) and I am working just fine. (for stream and HTTP anyway - I don't use the other modes)
Yawcam identifies my camera as:
wfw:MICROSOFT WDN Image Capture (Win32)0:wfw:/0
I understand there are several different models of the Eye Toy out there though, My model of Eye Toy is SLEH-00031
hope this helps

There we have the problem then! Yawcam usually get confused when there are many capture devices to choose from.Laughing Man wrote:And yes I have a TV tuner in my PC.
But stay tuned... I have an updated version of the "select source" function that should work better with several capture devices. I'll put a an update in this thread soon.

Okey, you can now get an update from here:
http://www.yawcam.com/beta/yawcam_source_fix.zip
The "select source" function is now a bit shaky and makes Yawcam crash once in a while. I'm calling functions I'm not supposed to do to get this dialog appear
But hopefully you only need to call it once to change your capture source. And if Yawcam crashes just restart and try it again.

I know you are going to find this strange, but I had a couple of days when my Preview was all black - while playing with it I found that I was still actually transmitting.
I also found that if I selected Capture it worked(and I could see what I captured).
I think the cause was I chose Select Source (experimental) just to see what it did, I went back through Edit Setting and selected all the setting again and it worked ok from them on
