Hello all, I am working on an instant messenger application, and am working towards adding video call support, however I seem to have a problem, the script only grabs the first frame of the webcam control, and uses that same frame every other time a snapshot is taken, this very same code used to work perfectly when I used it with a small http server script to make a webhosted cam.
Below is my test code
AutoIt
; *** Start added by AutoIt3Wrapper *** #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> ; *** End added by AutoIt3Wrapper *** #Region ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI **** #AutoIt3Wrapper_Add_Constants=n #EndRegion ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI **** #include <GUIConstants.au3> #include <Webcam.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #include <StaticConstants.au3> #include <WinAPI.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #include <GDIPlus.au3> #include <Memory.au3> $gui = GUICreate("Webcam UDF Test",320,240) _WebcamInit() $camcontrol = _Webcam($gui,320,240,0,0) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) $timer = TimerInit() While 1 $msg = GUIGetMsg() If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then _WebcamStop() Exit EndIf Sleep(10) if TimerDiff($timer) > 2000 Then _WebcamSnapShot() _GDIPlus_Startup() Local $hBitmap = _GDIPlus_BitmapCreateFromFile($snapfile) ; This is the binary data of your image. FileDelete(@ScriptDir&"\testing.jpg") FileWrite(@ScriptDir&"\testing.jpg", _GDIPlus_SaveImage2Binary($hBitmap, 60)) _GDIPlus_Shutdown() $timer = TimerInit() EndIf WEnd
This creates a webcam to capture from, then converts the resulting file into a jpeg file, you will notice it;s the same jpeg file over and over
oh yeah and here's

I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if perhaps this is an autoit bug?
