Camera and mic device settings

Hi,
For some users the default camera and mic devices might not be the desired devices.
I know you can get the flash settings popup with a right click but it's small and users don't understand what to do there.
How does LCCS handle this situation?
Is there a component for webcam and mic settings that let the user choose from a list of available devices and test them?
Flash only scan the devices once if it finds at least one device but sometimes this device might be a virtual camera like google plugin
or a broken device like the built-in camera in a laptop. If a user connect a new camera after flash made the scan, this camera won't be available.
How do you handle that?
Thanks

Just thinking this through in my head ... you could have a custom view in your app that tests that camera / audio is working before starting to publish to everyone.
1) Start app
2) Display a custom view to just the one user:
SDK API docs for WebcamPublisher:
<session:ConnectSessionContainer
     roomURL="http://connect.acrobat.com/exampleAccount/exampleRoom"
     authenticator="{auth}">
     <mx:VBox width="100%" height="100%">
        <collaboration:WebcamPublisher id="camPub"/>
        <collaboration:WebcamSubscriber webcamPublisher="{camPub}"/>
         <mx:Button label="Video" toggle="true" id="camButt"
       click="(camButt.selected) ? camPub.publish() : camPub.stop()"/>
     </mx:VBox>
   </session:ConnectSessionContainer>
3) http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/media/Camera.html #names > Flex API Camera "names" property can get you all the names available
and maybe iterate on the available cameras and set the "cameraNameIndex" on WebcamPublisher

Make Flash Plug-In for Firefox Remember Privacy Settings for Camera and Mic Access on Local File

My company is using Flash Player to develop some kiosk-style applications to run on a standalone computer (no network connection). This computer will contain web pages containing Flash content. They will be opened from the local HD with Firefox with the Adobe Flash plug-in (v11.7.700.224). One of the applications accesses the microphone hooked up to the computer. When this application is started, it always asks for permission for "local" to access the microphone and camera. In previous versions of our system, we could click "Remember" if we did it once and that would make it so it wouldn't ask for permissions again (in this case, the Remember option isn't available, and the site settings don't even offer the Privace tab). However, in the previous case, we were running IE with a previous ActiveX Flash version (unfortunately, this approach is no longer available as we have had to switch to Windows 8 and that changes the game with IE and Flash entirely).
At this point, we have tried to use the Global Settings for "Camera and Microphone Settings by Site..." to enter "Local" as an always allowed site. This does not seem to have any effect. We also tried entering the root directory of the applications in "Trusted Location Settings", but that also seemed to have no effect.
I'm not sure what has fundamentally changed here. I think there might be some differences in the Plug-In version (compared to ActiveX), but I'm not sure what they might be or how to do the same thing as before.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Torrey

Chris,
We learned that the Privacy tab (in Settings) can be found under the Flash plug-in for Firefox, but only if Firefox is running under an administrator.
Unfortunately, we haven't had much luck with the mms.cfg file. The following was used in the mms.cfg file (placed in both the %WINDIR%\SysWow64\Macromed\Flash and %WINDIR%\System32\Macromed\Flash” directories):
AVHardwareDisable = 0
AVHardwareEnabledDomain = local
AVHardwareEnabledDomain = 127.0.0.1
AVHardwareEnabledDomain = localhost
AutoUpdateDisable = 1
The AVHardwareEnabledDomain settings seem to be getting ignored regardless of whether the user is a standard user or an administrator. I also checked to make sure it wasn't just a local problem by going to a website that uses a microphone (http://www.testden.com/accent-reduction/systemcheck.htm). Adding the requested domain to the list (AVHardwareEnabledDomain = train.act360.com) still didn't bypass the allow/deny dialog box.
We know that the mms.cfg file is being read because setting "AVHardwareDisable = 1" will result in no prompt and that section being greyed out in Global Settings. I saw a post that suggested this setting was required to even make the AVHardwareEnabledDomain work, but it seems to block the local entirely and still brings up the dialog query on the internet site.
Thanks,
Torrey

IPhone 3G - Iphone does not show up as Camera and Portable Devices in Windo

I have 2 iphones and both are 3g, I will name them A & B for the sake of this conversation. when I plug in A, windows 7 recognizes it as a camera and so does itunes. but when I plug in B, itunes recognizes it but windows 7 does not. I am not able to transfer the pictures from ipone B. Please suggest. Iphone B was on 3.1.2 and I upgraded it to 3.1.3 and still no luck. I am thinking of clean wiping iphone B, but need to know for sure that the pictures are backed up in the itunes backup.
Regards,
Sameer Jaffer

Occassionally if a picture is saved from an email, an MMS or copied from a website, it has had the tendency to create an error when trying to import the pictures from the camera roll. If that is the case on phone "B", then it is suggested that you email the offfending photos and then delete them from the camera roll. Once that is done, most will then appear in Windows. Not sure if this is the case for you, but that is generally the first fix.

Output Video File to 'Microsoft DV Camera And VCR' DV driver

I've just submitted this:
I would like to request that the facility be made available to output the one video file allowed on the session timeline to the 'Microsoft DV Camera And VCR' DV driver for display on a TV monitor via appropriate hardware. Please make this option in addition to the ability to display the video content on a PC monitor, i.e. the four permutations that would be available:
1) No display of video on PC Monitor or TV Monitor;
2) Display of video on PC Monitor but not on TV Monitor;
3) No display of video on PC Monitor but display on TV monitor;
4) Display of video on both PC Monitor and TV Monitor.
Dedicating a TV monitor to display the video will help to free-up PC monitor real estate for the display of other information or controls.

Hello Ryclark.
I know what you're talking about but, as far as I understand, no, it's a different thing.
A Microsoft DV Camera and VCR device could be an internal hardware card, an external IEEE 1394 connected piece of hardware such as a Canopus ADVC 110 (http://www.canopus.com/products/videoconversion.php), or a camcorder. An appropriate piece of software can access these devices via the Microsoft DV Camera and VCR device DV driver and either capture DV streams (video and audio) to the computer's hard disk (an ability that is not appropriate for Adobe Audition), or output DV streams (such as a DV file that's on an Audition session timeline) to the device. In the case of the ADVC 110, it has composite and s-video outputs for connection to, say, a video projector or TV monitor.
I find it far better to check sound against a picture that's being displayed on its intended output device i.e. interlaced video content on a TV monitor in order to assess how my soundtrack works with the picture.
When I submitted the feature request I asked only for video output and didn't specify any audio output requirements. This was because I had completely overlooked the audio side of the DV stream. I'd be happy with the output being the original DV file audio, the reasons being a) I wouldn't listen to it anyway, I'd listen to the soundtrack I'd created over the audio monitor system, and b) it stands more chance of being implemented if the request is kept simple. I could ask for the ability to route any bus or track to the audio part of the DV stream, but that would just increase the complexity of the coding. Other than the audio being in sync with the video, I'm not sure how useful that'd be anyway. If I remember correctly, a DV audio stream can be either 48kHz 16-bit stereo or 32kHz 12-bit four channel. Far better to monitor the mix from the PC's multichannel audio outputs.
I realize that there would be latency between the video displayed via a Microsoft DV Camera and VCR device and the audio played through the PC's sound card but hey, we're used to adjusting latency, aren't we?
Regards,
Steve.

IdeaPad Y650: Cannot use Camera and Microphone on Windows 7

Hi,
When I bought this laptop, these two works fine in windows vista. But after I reinstall the machine with windows 7, the internal camera and microphone are no longer recognized by the system. I tried to install the drivers from lenovo website, but there is only windows vista / xp driver. I tried windows vista driver for camera and microphone but still not work.
How should I make my camera+microphone work on windows 7?
thanks

My camera and mic work fine. When I installed Win7 I did not do a clean install. I just upgraded from the Vista 64 installation that came preinstalled. I've been pleasantly suprised to find that everything works beautifully. Actually better than it did in Vista. Maybe try restoring your Vista installation (if possible, I haven't tried the onekey restore feature) and then install Win7 as an upgrade.
This is just a suggestion - I have not tested this!

HT4623 my IPod Touch is a generation 3 with a camera and when i go into my settings and try to do what the instructions on your website say but in general i only have About and then the rest of the bars but i don't have one that says Software Update

my Ipod Touch is a generation 3 with a camera and when i go into the settings to look for the Software Update bar i don't have one

If you have cameras then you have 4G iPod. To update connect to your computer and update via iTunes
iOS 4: Updating your device to iOS 5 or later
- A 4G to 6.1.5 Requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. For a Mac, that requires a Mac with OSX 10.6.8 or later

A mic doesn't work. Adobe Flash Player camera and microphone exceptions are different. Please, help!

Hello!
The trouble began in Google Hangouts on Air. When I'm in conference room I read that my mic doesn't work. I checked settings, chose "default" one time and my microphone name another time. Both variants don't help. On the right end of an address bar I read this message: "this page has been blocked from accessing your camera and microphone". I clicked it, chose "Allow", after reloading the problem returns. Then I went to Chrome exceptions and allowed my mic on the site.
In Chrome exceptions menu I read this: "Adobe Flash Player camera and microphone exceptions are different". Though I chose "Allow" in Chrome I can't do it Fllash Player. I did all the instructions which are given to solve audio problems, but it didn’t help. I also wanted to allow excess for my mic on “Website Privacy Settings Panel”, but I can’t find https://plus.google.com in the list to allow (attach a screenshot). I’m out of ideas what else to do. Please, help!

Using a devices camera and adding the image to the display list

Hi,
My students and I have not been able to make an AIR app that can take a picture using the devices camera and then add the image to the display list. We are able to open the devices camera and of course take a picture, but that's it.

Hi,
Do I have to add the picture to the cameraroll in order to add it to the AIR apps display list?
Both examples from Adobe claim that their examples work. Do they not?
In the example, the event handler asyncImageLoaded is never called. The output text field shows -   result_txt.text = "Asynchronous media promise."; So the Event.COMPLETE is being added. But I don't think it's being dispatched.
Any ideas?

Often, when I connect my iPod Touch to the PC, instead of it showing up as a device in iTunes, a window pops up that says I have connected a camera, and asks what to do. It is really annoying when this happens, because sometimes I cannot update my iPod

Often, when I connect my iPod Touch 2G to the PC, instead of showing up as a device on iTunes, a pop-up appears that says I have connected a camera and asks what I want to do. This device doesn't have a camera in it. When this happens, (not always)I can't update my iPod, no matter how many times I try to connect it. I have an old Nano that has never had this problem at all. Can anyone tell me what to do about this?

How can I get the apple configurator to retain a devices settings and apps?

Hi there all!
I have an iPhone that already has apps and email settings on it. I want to use the configurator to stop the device being paired with anything else not allow it to connect to any other Macs. I've connected it, backed it up, enabled supervision, then deployed the profile. Through out all of this I never get the option to restore device settings and when I click on edit stored backups, it contains nothing. With supervsion disabled I can restore the backup but, snag is to disallow pairing it needs to be supervised.
Also, am I right in thinking that once it's supervised I can't install any apps directly from the device ?
Sorry if these are really noddy questions :-) I just want to stop the device from being able to connect to or pair with anything other than my mac.
Thanks
Will

Jpegs can't have transparent areas. Most likely you had layers and were forced to save "as a copy", which means that the image which remains open in PSE is not the jpg. A file saved as a copy makes a copy in the save format, but it's not like save as where you now see the newly saved version instead of the original. The original remains open and unsaved onscreen.

I have a JVC video camera and it records the video to a .mod format (which Apple devices don't support). I figured out how to get them to iPhoto using iMovie but I want to be able to get the videos on my iPad 2 but it won't let it sync. Any help?

Thanks for that. Much more constructive than the last comment. It's only the restriction code I can't recall, not the access passcode. So I can currently access the device, just not age restricted content. Does that's make a difference? I also wondered if anyone knew how many attempts you get to try to get it right. Now tried 21 times and so far nothing bad has happened but I am concerned I'll eventually be completely locked out of the device. That doesn't seem in the spirit of things though. Surely it's foreseeable that a child could repeatedly try to guess the code so I can't see that it would be right to lock the device down completely in that circumstance, particularly if the access code is being typed in correctly every time.
Thanks
