HDX 16-1370US no web cam
I have a HDX16 with web cam and microphone, neither one work now. I have done a fresh install of both Vista 64-bit and Win7 64-bit with no luck. i have tried a brand new hard drive with a fresh install of Win7 64-bit. this laptop came with Vista 64 with Win7 64 upgrade disk. i have even tried a fresh install of Win7 32 with no luck.
I try to use Skype or HP software and it tells me that there is no web cam or microphone available. all drivers are up to date.
this problem started right after SP1 for Win7. any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Try uninstalling service pack 1, it's KB 976932. I know that ever I installed it, I keep getting a message when I shut the computer down, "Windows is waiting for background applications to close" very annoying !
Sounds like Microsoft didn't quite do their homework.
After it's uninstalled try reinstalling the YouCam software again. Look into your antivirus program and see if there is some file(s) that are blocked to prevent it from working.
Go to the Device Manager and look for Imaging Devices, reinstall the driver.
Turn off Microsoft Updates from automatic. Select "Check for updates but let me choose whether to download them and install them" This gives you more control when things happen like this, that's assuming that the cause was an update from Microsoft.
Try doing another fresh install, load your drivers starting with your Chip Set driver and then your Web Cam and see if it works. Don't do any Microsoft updates and don't run any antivirus software.
If you have the HP disc's with the original factory OS on them, install that and see if it works, but do not run Windows update or any Anti Virus software. If it works then it's not a hardware problem
I can only make suggestions here, it's like finding a needle in a hay stack as to why the cam and mikes have stopped working. Maybe someone else will come along with a solid solution.

Web cam problem for HP HDX X16T-1200 CTO Premium Notebook PC
I have recently base installed windows 7 on my HP HDX X16T-1200 CTO Premium Notebook PC and since then i have not been able to use my web cam. It comes up in my driver manager but it comes up as an unknown device with a code 43 error. Please help, I am not sure what information would be need to solve this problem so please just tell me what is needed and how to find it.
Is there a possible way to identify the driver? It says it is installed correctly. Also i cannot find usbvideo.sys can this be the problem?

How do i use my web cam, where do i go to, to get started
Can't figure out where to go to be able to use my web cam. Its not in my devices and printers area.
Firstly, uninstall the current version of Cyberlink Youcam and re-install it.
To Uninstall: Click Start >> type Programs and Features in search and select it from the list >> In there, select Cyberlink Youcam and uninstall it.
Once done, try using webcam with Skype or any other messenger you may have, or else re-install Youcam.
If the above does not work, do a System Restore to a previous working date when the webcam worked.
System Restore: Click Start >> type System Restore in search and select it any perform on-screen instructions to restore the notebook to a previous working date.
If none of the above work, open Device Manager, check if you have 'HP Webcam' listed under Imaging Devices category.
You would find the Product Number on the sticker in the battery compartment, will be similar to XT594PA#ABA. -

CHUCK YAGERSatellite L505D-GS6000
Perhaps you mean you have the Satellite L505D-GS6000? Let's try a reinstall of the main base drivers, then the webcam driver/app, one more time. Download and install these drivers in this order:
AMD/ATI Display Driver for Windows 7 (32/64) v8.634.1
Realtek Audio Driver for Windows 7 (32/64)(v6.0.1.5904)
Toshiba Web Camera Application for Windows XP/7 (32/64)(v1.1.1.6)
Then try the webcam again. Please let us know if it works, or if you get any error messages trying the above reinstalls. Good luck

Capture Web Cam image in APEX and Upload into the Database
Overview
By using a flash object, you should be able to interface with a usb web cam connected to the client machine. Their are a couple of open source ones that I know about, but the one I chose to go with is by Taboca Labs and is called CamCanvas. This is released under the MIT license, and it is at version 0.2, so not very mature - but in saying that it seems to do the trick. The next part is to upload a snapshot into the database - in this particular implementation, it is achieved by taking a snapshot, and putting that data into the canvas object. This is a new HTML5 element, so I am not certain what the IE support would be like. Once you have the image into the canvas, you can then use the provided function convertToDataURL() to convert the image into a Base64 encoded string, which you can then use to convert into to a BLOB. There is however one problem with the Base64 string - APEX has a limitation of 32k for and item value, so can't be submitted by normal means, and a workaround (AJAX) has to be implemented.
Part 1. Capturing the Image from the Flash Object into the Canvas element
Set up the Page
Required Files
Download the tarball of the webcam library from: https://github.com/taboca/CamCanvas-API-/tarball/master
Upload the necessary components to your application. (The flash swf file can be got from one of the samples in the Samples folder. In the root of the tarball, there is actually a swf file, but this seems to be a different file than of what is in the samples - so I just stick with the one from the samples)
Page Body
Create a HTML region, and add the following:
<div class="container">
<object id="iembedflash" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0" width="320" height="240">
<param name="movie" value="#APP_IMAGES#camcanvas.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" />
<embed allowScriptAccess="always" id="embedflash" src="#APP_IMAGES#camcanvas.swf" quality="high" width="320" height="240"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" mayscript="true" />
</object>
</div>
<p><a href="javascript:captureToCanvas()">Capture</a></p>
<canvas style="border:1px solid yellow" id="canvas" width="320" height="240"></canvas>That will create the webcam container, and an empty canvas element for the captured image to go into.
Also, have a hidden unprotected page item to store the Base64 code into - I called mine P2_IMAGE_BASE64
HTML Header and Body Attribute
Add the Page HTML Body Attribute as:
onload="init(320,240)"
JavaScript
Add the following in the Function and Global Variable Declarations for the page (mostly taken out of the samples provided)
//Camera relations functions
var gCtx = null;
var gCanvas = null;
var imageData = null;
var ii=0;
var jj=0;
var c=0;
function init(ww,hh){
gCanvas = document.getElementById("canvas");
var w = ww;
var h = hh;
gCanvas.style.width = w + "px";
gCanvas.style.height = h + "px";
gCanvas.width = w;
gCanvas.height = h;
gCtx = gCanvas.getContext("2d");
gCtx.clearRect(0, 0, w, h);
imageData = gCtx.getImageData( 0,0,320,240);
function passLine(stringPixels) {
//a = (intVal >> 24) & 0xff;
var coll = stringPixels.split("-");
for(var i=0;i<320;i++) {
var intVal = parseInt(coll);
r = (intVal >> 16) & 0xff;
g = (intVal >> 8) & 0xff;
b = (intVal ) & 0xff;
imageData.data[c+0]=r;
imageData.data[c+1]=g;
imageData.data[c+2]=b;
imageData.data[c+3]=255;
c+=4;
if(c>=320*240*4) {
c=0;
gCtx.putImageData(imageData, 0,0);
function captureToCanvas() {
flash = document.getElementById("embedflash");
flash.ccCapture();
var canvEle = document.getElementById('canvas');
$s('P2_IMAGE_BASE64', canvEle.toDataURL());//Assumes hidden item name is P2_IMAGE_BASE64
clob_Submit();//this is a part of part (AJAX submit value to a collection) two
}In the footer region of the page (which is just a loading image to show whilst the data is being submitted to the collection [hidden by default]) :<img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#processing3.gif" id="AjaxLoading"
style="display:none;position:absolute;left:45%;top:45%;padding:10px;border:2px solid black;background:#FFF;" />If you give it a quick test, you should be able to see the webcam feed and capture it into the canvas element by clicking the capture link, in between the two elements - it might through a JS error since the clob_Submit() function does not exist yet.
*Part 2. Upload the image into the Database*
As mentioned in the overview, the main limitation is that APEX can't submit values larger than 32k, which I hope the APEX development team will be fixing this limitation in a future release, the workaround isn't really good from a maintainability perspective.
In the sample applications, there is one that demonstrates saving values to the database that are over 32k, which uses an AJAX technique: see http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/application-express/packaged-apps-090453.html#LARGE.
*Required Files*
From the sample application, there is a script you need to upload, and reference in your page. So you can either install the sample application I linked to, or grab the script from the demonstration I have provided - its called apex_save_large.js.
*Create a New Page*
Create a page to Post the large value to (I created mine as 1000), and create the following process, with the condition that Request = SAVE. (All this is in the sample application for saving large values).declare
l_code clob := empty_clob;
begin
dbms_lob.createtemporary( l_code, false, dbms_lob.SESSION );
for i in 1..wwv_flow.g_f01.count loop
dbms_lob.writeappend(l_code,length(wwv_flow.g_f01(i)),wwv_flow.g_f01(i));
end loop;
apex_collection.create_or_truncate_collection(p_collection_name => wc_pkg_globals.g_base64_collection);
apex_collection.add_member(p_collection_name => wc_pkg_globals.g_base64_collection,p_clob001 => l_code);
htmldb_application.g_unrecoverable_error := TRUE;
end;I also created a package for storing the collection name, which is referred to in the process, for the collection name:create or replace
package
wc_pkg_globals
as
g_base64_collection constant varchar2(40) := 'BASE64_IMAGE';
end wc_pkg_globals;That is all that needs to be done for page 1000. You don't use this for anything else, *so go back to edit the camera page*.
*Modify the Function and Global Variable Declarations* (to be able to submit large values.)
The below again assumes the item that you want to submit has an item name of 'P2_IMAGE_BASE64', the condition of the process on the POST page is request = SAVE, and the post page is page 1000. This has been taken srtaight from the sample application for saving large values.//32K Limit workaround functions
function clob_Submit(){
$x_Show('AjaxLoading')
$a_PostClob('P2_IMAGE_BASE64','SAVE','1000',clob_SubmitReturn);
function clob_SubmitReturn(){
if(p.readyState == 4){
$x_Hide('AjaxLoading');
$x('P2_IMAGE_BASE64').value = '';
}else{return false;}
function doSubmit(r){
$x('P2_IMAGE_BASE64').value = ''
flowSelectAll();
document.wwv_flow.p_request.value = r;
document.wwv_flow.submit();
}Also, reference the script that the above code makes use of, in the page header<script type="text/javascript" src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#apex_save_large.js"></script>Assuming the script is located in workspace images, and not associated to a specific app. Other wise reference #APP_IMAGES#
*Set up the table to store the images*CREATE TABLE "WC_SNAPSHOT"
"WC_SNAPSHOT_ID" NUMBER NOT NULL ENABLE,
"BINARY" BLOB,
CONSTRAINT "WC_SNAPSHOT_PK" PRIMARY KEY ("WC_SNAPSHOT_ID")
create sequence seq_wc_snapshot start with 1 increment by 1;
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER "BI_WC_SNAPSHOT" BEFORE
INSERT ON WC_SNAPSHOT FOR EACH ROW BEGIN
SELECT seq_wc_snapshot.nextval INTO :NEW.wc_snapshot_id FROM dual;
END;
Then finally, create a page process to save the image:declare
v_image_input CLOB;
v_image_output BLOB;
v_buffer NUMBER := 64;
v_start_index NUMBER := 1;
v_raw_temp raw(64);
begin
--discard the bit of the string we dont need
select substr(clob001, instr(clob001, ',')+1, length(clob001)) into v_image_input
from apex_collections
where collection_name = wc_pkg_globals.g_base64_collection;
dbms_lob.createtemporary(v_image_output, true);
for i in 1..ceil(dbms_lob.getlength(v_image_input)/v_buffer) loop
v_raw_temp := utl_encode.base64_decode(utl_raw.cast_to_raw(dbms_lob.substr(v_image_input, v_buffer, v_start_index)));
dbms_lob.writeappend(v_image_output, utl_raw.length(v_raw_temp),v_raw_temp);
v_start_index := v_start_index + v_buffer;
end loop;
insert into WC_SNAPSHOT (binary) values (v_image_output); commit;
end;Create a save button - add some sort of validation to make sure the hidden item has a value (i.e. image has been captured). Make the above conditional for request = button name so it only runs when you click Save (you probably want to disable this button until the data has been completely submitted to the collection - I haven't done this in the demonstration).
Voila, you should have now be able to capture the image from a webcam. Take a look at the samples from the CamCanvas API for extra effects if you wanted to do something special.
And of course, all the above assumed you want a resolution of 320 x 240 for the image.
Disclaimer: At time of writing, this worked with a logitech something or rather webcam, and is completely untested on IE.
Check out a demo: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=trents_demos:webcam_i (my image is a bit blocky, but i think its just my webcam. I've seen others that are much more crisp using this) Also, just be sure to wait for the progress bar to dissappear before clicking Save.
Feedback welcomed.Hmm, maybe for some reason you aren't getting the base64 version of the saved image? Is the collection getting the full base64 string? Seems like its not getting any if its no data found.
The javascript console is your friend.
Also, in the example i used an extra page, from what one of the examples on apex packages apps had. But since then, I found this post by Carl: http://carlback.blogspot.com/2008/04/new-stuff-4-over-head-with-clob.html - I would use this technique for submitting the clob, over what I have done - as its less hacky. Just sayin. -
Capture an image using the web camera from a web application
Hi All,
Could anyone please share the steps what have to be followed for capture an image using the web camera from a web application.
I have a similar requirement like this,
1) Detect the Webcam on the users machine from the web application.(To be more clear when the user clicks on 'Add Photo' tool from the web application)
2) When the user confirms to save, save the Image in users machine at some temporary location with some unique file name.
3) Upload the Image to the server from the temporary location.
Please share the details like, what can be used and how it can be used etc...
Thanks,
Suman1) Detect the Webcam on the users machine from the web application.(To be more clear when the user clicks on 'Add Photo' tool from the web application)There's not really any good way to do this with JMF. You'd have to somehow create a JMF web-start application that will install the native JMF binaries, and then kick off the capture device scanning code from the application, and then scan through the list of devices found to get the MediaLocator of the web cam.
2) When the user confirms to save, save the Image in users machine at some temporary location with some unique file name.You'd probably be displaying a "preview" window and then you'd just want to capture the image. There are a handful of ways you could capture the image, but it really depends on your situation.
3) Upload the Image to the server from the temporary location.You can find out how to do this on google.
All things told, this application is probably more suited to be a FMJ (Freedom for Media in Java) application than a JMF application. JMF relies on native code to capture from the web cams, whereas FMJ does not.
Alternately, you might want to look into Adobe Flex for this particular application. -
Portege R835-P56X web cam application stuck on screen
So hi peeps, Ive had my Portege for almost 3 years, and this problem just started in the last month or so. The application menu that is hidden off screen and slides out when you put your mouse there is stuck on screen, will not go away, and remains on top when other programs are running. Its extremely annoying! There's no error message or anything. Has anyone else encountered this problem? And if so, how do you fix it?
TIA!!

Satellite A505-S6973 Web Cam won't turn off
I recently signed up for Google Chat with the option to use the Video Chat feature. Ever since I can't get the web cam to turn off, even when I'm not even logged on the Internet! I don't like having the little light shining in my face every time I turn on the computer.
How can I turn off the camera when I'm not using it?If you can get it to boot up again, I'd suggest doing a restore to out-of-box state to see if you have a hardware issue or software. If after restoring it to out-of-box state you are still experiencing problems, it is likely hardware failure (i.e., cpu, hdd, motherboard, etc.).

How do i use my FaceTime camera as a web cam?
I am trying to figure out how to use the facetime camera on my macbook pro as a web cam with non apple users. Please help.
If you are trying to use Flash based web sites that you open in your browser, there is no difference in operation regardless of whether your webcam is being viewed by a PC or by another Mac user. However, if you are having problems with Flash sites, verify that your Flash plug-in is the latest one that is compatible with your system.
• You can find the latest Flash version that works with your OS X 10.7.3 using this page:
http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
If you need to update, use your Mac's Disk Utility to repair permissions. Then follow Adobe's instructions here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/908/cpsid_90893.html
Be sure to uninstall your current Flash player before installing the new one.
Repair permissions again immediately following installation of the updated Flash player.
• Be aware that the current Flash Player Preferences can be configured in your
Lion Mac's > System Preferences... These settings may be blocking Flash on a system-wide basis.
• Individual Flash settings are still configured in the same way as older versions:

You can try it, but probably not.
This Apple article http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2134 explains that a Firewire-connected, tape-based camera or camcorder mode will work.
If you don't have access to one that works, a simple workaround is to record your video with QuickTimeX Player (the v.10.x one from Lion). You can import that recorded video into iMovie for editing.
If your Mac OS is earlier than Lion whose QuickTime does not offer movie recording as installed, use QuickTime7 Pro for recording.

How to do Audio/Vedio streaming between web cams and back end servers?
I want to implement an internet chat application, I mean, I want a front end, which connects a web cam (mic and speaker). So, I can send videos and audios to a back end server (do flash streaming? but I am not sure what good product out there I can use), and also send both A/V to another computer on the internet. In other words, need a front end that sends local a/v from webcam (&mic) to backend and receives remote a/v from backend to webcam (and speaker) + backend streaming server.
Any suggestions of techniques to be used? What back end flash streaming server should I sue? How to acquire A/V from web cam (& mic) and how to send A/V to web cam (&speaker) to play?
Thanks a lot!Front end development:- You can use Flash CS4/CS5 or Flex Builder.
Back-end Programming - Server-side programming is basically done using ActionScript. You can use Flash CS4 , but there is no need for special authoring tool, you can do with even text-editor. After you author, you just need to place files at proper location on FMS.
Front-end runtime - You just need Flash Player installed , basically active-x or plug-in in your browser - which you would already have by now
Also if you decide to write AIR application for your front-end, you will need AIR - which is again free
Hope that answers your questions
