Couldn't initialize capture device on linux Ca

I have installed j2sdk1.4.2-02 and jmf 2.1.1e on linux.When I started jmstuido ,jmstudio found "video capture device ":Name=v41:OV511+USC Camera:0
Locator = v41://0 and support Output Format :four kinds of YUVFormat .
audio capture device :Name=JavaSound audio capture
Locator = javasound://44100 and support Output Format :seven kinds of AudioFormat LINEAR.
But when I open file->capture ,video display OK and audio display error :"controller error ! failed to prefetch: cann't open audio device."
when I open file->transmit , I want to transmit video not audio and the monitor display OK but the other side cann't receive video.
I write some codes :
     DataSource dsvideo = null;
     Vector deviceList=null;
     CaptureDeviceInfo di = null;
     MediaLocator ml=null;
deviceList = CaptureDeviceManager.getDeviceList(new VideoFormat(null));
if (deviceList.size() > 0)
di = (CaptureDeviceInfo)deviceList.firstElement();
else
System.err.println("System has not video device!");
System.exit(-1);
ml=di.getLocator();
DataSource ds=null;
try
ds = Manager.createDataSource(ml);
catch(NoDataSourceException nodatasourceexception)
System.err.println("Cannot create DataSource from: " + ml);
System.exit(0);
catch(IOException ioexception)
System.err.println("Cannot create DataSource from: " + ml);
System.exit(0);
catch (Exception e)
System.err.println("Cannot create DataSource from: " + ml);
System.exit(0);
compiling is ok but when I run the program ,the system display:
java.io.IOException: java.lang.Error: Couldn't initialize capture device
Cannot create DataSource from: v4l://0 .
with the same condition and the same executing , I can be successful on windows2000.Why is not on linux?Please help me. thanks a lot!

  • Couldn't initialize capture device

    I am not able to capture any video from my webcam (Logitech USB Camera). I am working with linux red hat 8, so maybe it's a Linux issue (I got the liux jmf-2.1.1). Anyway, when I try to create a player or processor I get a NoPlayerException, but my webcam is found when i call Vector devices = CaptureDeviceManager.getDeviceList(new RGBFormat()) and I am able to locate the camera with MediaLocator loc = device.getLocator()(Media Location is v4l://0 in case it matters). But when I try to create a player I first get an IOException: Couldn't initialize capture device and a NoPlayerException.
    JMStudio is able to initialize the capture device but I just get a black screen. But I can take snapshot images without a problem.
    I am actually working on a robotics vision project for my university and i need the camera to plug it on the robot for vision problems.
    thanks, muriel

    I've had the same problem, I have a Lego camera (basically a quickcam) and it works fine under Linux with the qc-usb driver. Under JMStudio, it is detected, and I can capture from it, and this will work for any user, not just root. When I try to list the devices from my own Java code, however, I don't get any devices. If I run the V4LAuto class (found in the JMStudio source), the camera is detected. Either way, it won't initalize when I try to use it. I've looked through the JMStudio source code to try to see what it does differently so that I can use the device.
    On the camera, the light comes on to say that someone is requesting the stream with my own code, but the stream fails to initalize.
    I'm running RH9, kernel 2.4.21 (qc-usb won't work on 2.4.20-8). Does anyone know if this has to do with a permission in Java? It shouldn't, but it might.

  • 5.1.4 update breaks HDV capture? Unable to Initialize Capture Device

    Problem:
    Final Cut Pro cannot capture standard 1080i60 HDV footage from Sony FX1 camcorder. FCP reports "Unable to Initialize Capture Device" when the log and capture window is opened. However, the footage CAN be captured in iMovie (which is interesting, and unacceptable). When HDV>DV downconvert option on camcorder is activated, footage CAN be captured as anamorphic SD, so the camcorder and FW do work.
    The problem is occuring on a rock-solid FCP system that I use on a regular basis (mainly for SD editing). It has been approx 2 weeks since I last attempted a HDV capture, the system has been working great with SD footage (still does).
    Factors that have changed to my knowledge since HDV capture was last functioning properly:
    *Added a new external FW drive into regular usage (a different brand than normally used, no issues with it so far).
    *Updated FCP to 5.1.3, and then 5.1.4 when that fix came out. All SD captures and work have been fine so far.
    Here's what's interesting...I had a copy of the FCP v5.0.4 .app that I had saved an archive of prior to the crossgrade update. Guess what? I can load it up, and it captures HDV without any problems! With that in mind, this looks like an FCP 5.1.4 issue. But I am at a loss on how to proceed further in troubleshooting. Many thanks in advance for any assistance.

    ---NOTES---
    What I have tried:
    *Attempted capture with a different Sony FX1 camcorder.
    *Swapped firewire cables and system firewire ports.
    *Attempted capture with camera FW chained to an external HDD.
    *Unplugged all other external firewire devices from the system.
    *Trashed FCP prefs using FCP Rescue 5, created new project using Easy Setup (for HDV).
    *Tried different variations of FCP A/V settings, tried all the HDV FW device control presets and the HDV AIC capture preset.
    *Per instructions at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301852 I removed the numbered Quicktime pckg Receipts and re-installed the latest version (7.13). Post-install/reboot, I repaired Disk Prefs and Verified the disk using Disk Util.
    *Have also attempted installing QT 7.13 2 and 3 times in a row, also trying disk prefs repair BEFORE the post-install reboot.
    Final Cut Pro Audio/Video Settings:
    Sequence Preset: HDV-1080i60
    Capture Preset: HDV
    Device Control Preset: Sony HDV Firewire

    *COMPONENT: 1080i/480i
    *i.LINK CONV: OFF
    *TV TYPE: 16:9
    *A/V->DV OUT: OFF
    System/Software Facts:
    *Final Cut Pro 5.1.4
    *Quicktime 7.13
    *PPC Mac G5 2.7 Dual (2.5GB RAM)
    *35GB free on System, 45GB free on internal FCP Scratch disk
    Final Cut Pro 5.1.4, G5 DP 2.7 (PPC) Mac OS X (10.4.8)

    I think I figured out this vexing problem. I too was having the same issue. Check to see that your Quicktime is newer than 7.1.2. If it isn't you'll have to upgrade it. I only upgraded to 7.1.6 here because I was afraid of going to a really new version. http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/quicktime716formac.html. After I upgraded my quicktime, I ran software update and the Final Cut Pro 5.1.4 update appeared. I hoipe this helps.

  • Unable to Initialize Capture Device

    Hi,
    I am having a problem importing/capturing HDV video from my JVC HD GR 1 getting "Unable to Initialize Capture Device".
    I have been able to capture fine up to this point, finicky some times to be sure, but workable, then in the last few weeks it began getting more and more finicky (wouldn't connect to camera, restart and it works fine), until just the other day it wont connect no matter what I do!
    Help?
    Ask questions if you need clarification.
    Camera: JVC HD GR 1
    Tape: Mini DV
    Format: HDV
    Software: FCP 5.1.4

    Unfortunately when both "Capture" and "Device Control" presets are not set to HDV it wont even try to connect and gives me this warning:
    "To capture HDV source material, both the Capture and Device Control presets must be configured for HDV; otherwise, to capture in another format, both must not be configured for HDV."
    As a side note when my camera was connecting to FCP. FCP would only give me on screen controls half the time.

  • Unable to initialize capture device and device control in HDV

    I shot with a Sony HVR-Z1U/Z1N and am using a Sony HDV 1080i tape deck to digitize.
    I recently purchased a MacBook Pro and installed FCP Pro 5 on it. After getting over some time code issues we were chugging along, when on the 4th tape the image on the log and capture screen suddenly dissapeared (I could get audio and could see the image on the tape deck). Well after taking the tape out, checking and rechecking it I popped it back in and ever since then, I have been getting this error mssg "Unable to initialize capture device and device control."
    I have tried deleting the preferences and starting from scratch. If I do that, and choose the easy setup with HDV- 1080i60, it gives me this error "Unable to locate the following external devices- HDV (1440 X 1080) 30fps.
    I upgraded to FCP 5.1.2 this morning and upgraded the OS to 10.4.7 and QT to 7.1.3 and still no change.
    Im at my wits end, Ive been working on this for a whole week now.
    Thank you,
    Bugs

    It has been reported to take more than one attempt to correct the installation but, if properly executed on a machine without other system problems, the QT reinstall process does work. The key element here is you must reinstall QT after you trash the receipts. The process is listed below.
    x
    To do a full quicktime reinstall.
    Go to /library/receipts and delete any files that say Quicktime followed by a number e.g. Quicktime703.pkg
    Go to the Apple quicktime site and download the appropriate version of Quicktime to your hard drive.
    Run the Quicktime installer.
    Repair Disk Permissions for your System Disk (Disk Utility > Select the system disk > Repair Disk Permissions)
    Reboot
    If this doesn't work, then the problem lies elsewhere:
    1. your system - user preferences, firewire ports or other system elements.
    2. your equipment - camera/deck/firewire cables.
    3. your process - not setting up the software properly or using the software erroneously.
    Listed below is a troubleshooting process. Not all steps are appropriate but the general process of isolating the problem is useful.

  • Unable to Initialize Capture Device - Works fine in iMovie

    Am using a Sony HDV HDR HC1E Pal Handycam
    Final Cut Pro 5.1
    QT Pro 7.1.3
    Works fine with cassettes in HDV - imports into FCP fine
    Am trying to import a cassette recorded on that camera in DV LP
    Works fine in iMovie
    Have deleted the QT packages and reinstalled QT
    Still am getting the 'Unable to Initialize Capture Device' message when using log and capture.
    Settings on camera
    VCR Auto (have also tried HDV or DV)
    iLink conversion off (i.e.don't convert hdv-dv)
    TV type 16:9 (have also tried 4:3)
    Component 1080i/576i also tried 576i
    Annoying thing is that works fine in iMovie but not FCP?!!

    I would like to add the following in hopes that someone will come up with a solution. The problem lies somewhere in Quicktime and the FireWire capture. I have the exact same camera and problem, and can assure you it has nothing to do with cam settings or DV LP. Once your system is stuck in this HDV mode, it would seem that regular DV can not be used again. I also have 2 other DV cams that are not HD. One is PAL, one is NTSC. I would further add that my external FireWire iSight no longer works in any application. I do not receive error messages, I simply get the spinning beach-ball of death.
    I have a Dual G5 2.7 with 4 gigs RAM running FCP 5.0.4 on OS 10.4.8
    I have run Cocktail, rebuilt permissions and re-installed Quicktime 7.1.3 four times as per Apples tech article 301852
    I have used FCP Rescue 5 to clear preferences
    I have captured footage from both regular DV cams to iMovie and then added the footage to FCP. The footage plays on the screen of both DV cams flawlessly via FCP. (I can also capture HDV in iMovie as well)
    I have tried logging footage directly through the QuickTime application with both DV cams and my iSight and get the same beach-ball of death as FCP.
    Why can iMovie work with these devices flawlessly yet QuickTime can not.
    Why does it seem like the system is stuck in some kind of HD mode.
    Just to point out the obvious:
    I have no other FireWire devices other than the cameras and I only connect one at a time.
    I have shut down, disconnected and re-connected before attempting to use the devices.
    I have booted my G5 from a second system disk and everything (HDV cam PAL DV cam NTSC cam and iSight) function flawlessly on all the FireWire ports of my machine.
    I have worked with FCP for about 6 years and Macs for 20. I understand the easy set ups etc.
    Spent way too much time customizing my system to think about the clean install route, so I hope someone can shed some light on this.
    Thanks

  • Problems capturing audio under linux

    Hello. I have developed an application that captures audio using the Audio API of JFM. The problem is when I start capturing audio under Linux (all the audio devices are well configurated), the JVM returns the following error:
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException : Illegal request to write non integral numbre of
    frames (13107 bytes)
    The piece of code that causes the error is :
    while(!stop) {
    numBytesRead = inputLine.read(data,0, data.length); bufferoutput.write(data,0,
    numBytesRead); }
    where inputLine is a TargetDataLine.
    Under Windows this runs OK. Anyone know why not under Linux?
    Thanks

  • Wasapi: IAudioClient- Initialize() hanging when opening audio capture device

    I'm trying to open the capture/input audio device. I call ActivateAudioInterfaceAsync() , then when I call IAudioClient->Initialize() on the capture device, the app hangs, supposedly because for some reason it's trying to display the 'Allow app to
    use the mic?' prompt.
    The hang _doesn't_ occur if I manually set the app permission to use the mic (i.e. launch the app without having it open the audio devices, open the permission tile, activate the mic permission).
    Calls to ActivateAudioInterfaceAsync and  IAudioClient->Initialize() are made from the UI thread (the one that receives callbacks for buttons, which on Metro style apps seems to be different from the thread that starts the application, i.e. WinMain).
    What am I doing wrong?
    I've attached the stack that shows the app hung below.
    Thanks,
    Flavio.

  • Video capture device bad image/no sound

    Hi !!
    I bought this "grabby" usb dongle from terratec to record old vhs cassete on my computer, but is doesn't work on linux. (It works ok on win7, so cable-connections problems are excluded)
    On vlc I did 'open capture device', choose /dev/video0 for vid, hw:2,0 for sound(tried them all anyway), and PAL/SECAM video standard.
    Problem is I have a super crappy video image (on mplayer also), and no sound. The video is colored, I recogize it, but the pixels are huge, it's awfull.
    After some research I found that a module named em28xx is supposed to handle this device. I found some forum post here and there about the sound problem, it is addressed with a 3years old patch on em28xx-cards.c (which doesn't exist on my machine, so I couldn't apply it).

    Hi again !
    Thanks for you tip nomorewindows. The programs tvtime and xawtv worked out of the box concerning video !! xawtv, however, crashes everytime I try to resize the (very) small window. As for tvtime, there is no sound (output is it can't open /dev/mixer so I guess it's fixable, I'll look into it).
    I started reading the doc but I didn't found yet if it was possible to record the output with these program...
    Concerning the cables, you are right they are not special at all it is standard : there is the triple (yellow=composite video, red/white for audio) cable and a fourth one for video but with inferior quality, I didn't connect it (it's either the yellow or this one for video)

    Got the Heroes of Might & Magic III for Linux, from Loki-games,

    Does anyone play this under linux?
    thanks

    I was having sound issues with a game on a fresh Arch install, until i realised that pulseaudio had failed to start because dbus wasn't running.
    So, i started dbus
    # /etc/rc.d/dbus start
    Then i started avahi-daemon
    # /etc/rc.d/avahi-daemon start
    then i started pulseaudio manually.
    $ pulseaudio --start
    also, make sure you're a member of the group 'audio'. If you're not, sound may not work properly, or at all.
    If these steps work, be advised that, in all probability it will only work until reboot. But that's a story for another post.
    HTH,

  • Capturing microphone on linux (too few volume)

    Hi there,
    I'm trying to capture sound from a microphone on linux. I already have succeeded in getting the capture device, getting the audio stream and all between. But the stream (which is LINEAR 44kHz captured and then processed to fitting RTP format) is by far too low in volume. Even if I set the volume in the mixer (KMix) to maximum and boost the mic I only get an humming background sound and only some fraction of my input (when i blow on the mic). I found that KRecord has an option showing the input amplitude either in Linear or in Logarithmic form, and logarithmic it is alife somewhere at 30dB but linear it is showing nothing, a green line a the leftmost side. So I think maybe I have to capture logarithmic?
    I'm not a professional capturer and I know even less about sound systems on Linux. So I need some hints here to get that thing running.
    Kind regards,
    Kai

    I'm trying to capture sound from a microphone on
    linux. I already have succeeded in getting the
    capture device, getting the audio stream and all
    between. Are you sure you have the right one?
    I had a devil of a time tapping into the sound
    system recently. I developed this oscilloscope
    to plot the available audio lines - to help me
    sort the confusion.

    'audiotraces.jar' is the 'double click' jar, but
    you can compile it from the source if you like.
    The troubles I faced were mostly about 'volume',
    but I'm not sure if the causes are closely related
    to those you are seeing, in any case, here is the
    thread that talks about that code..
