Kinect for Windows v2 cannot reliably remain online for prolonged periods

We are developing a .NET 4.5 app that records Kinect frame streams to a huge disk array, 24/7. However, it appears that a vanilla installation of the Kinect cannot remain online for prolonged periods. After a day or so, frames simply stop arriving for no
apparent reason. There is nothing in the Windows Events Viewer that seems related; Device Manager also does not show any problem for the Kinect devices.
Could somebody look into this issue?
We have just disables power management on the whole chain of hardware (PCI express -> USB 3.0 controller -> Kinect) and will see if it helps.

Printer out of use for prolonged period-any special precautions?

I may need to "lay up" my Photosmart C5180 All in One for about 3 months. I am concerned that during this prolonged period of not being used,the printer heads will clog up. Is this a likely outcome and if so can you flush them out with a cleaning fluid or similar beforehand,or even after if blockage has occurred. (I see noo such item listed by HP as being available.) My printer is reasonably new and I still use original HP inks

Keeping airport on for prolonged periods? anyone with experience?

Greetings.
I'm thinking of keeping the airport express on for pretty much all of the time, due to me being lazy and such. I was wondering though, would this wear out the LED that provides the light for the digital audio connection too much?
With too much (to avoid a run-on sentence here ), I mean, will it wear out then within a timeframe of two years (like some LED's in fiberoptic network equipment do), or will they last longer than that?
Sincerely,
B.

Hi Toqduj,
Welcome to Apple Discussions
I have had my Airport Express for over a year and I really enjoy it. The Airport Express is made for the traveler who has limited space. It was made to be rugged yet still sleek. I wouldn't worry about your Airport Express' LED going out after 2 years because the Airport Express was made to stay on a long time. Properly installed LED lights can last for decades.

Kinect for Windows V2 Device cannot start

I was able to use my Kinect for Windows V2 sensor yesterday with all of the applications in the SDK browser but the next day after restarting my computer I was no longer able to use the device. Looking at the device manager I get this message under the properties
for WDF KinectSensor Interface 0 (the only device listed under Kinect sensor devices):
This device cannot start. (Code 10)
{Operation Failed}
The requested operation was unsuccessful.
I'm plugged into a USB 3.0 input. Any ideas?

I encounter the exact same issue:
WDF KinectSensor Interface 0
This device cannot start. (Code 10)
{Operation Failed}
The requested operation was unsuccessful.
I'm using an Intel 4ghz i7 processor plugged into an ASUS Sabertooth Mk1 Z97 Motherboard. The ASMedia on the board had some issues, so i'm using a USB 3.0 PCI/E card by Manhatten. Diagnostics indicates that everything but depth checks out. Depth fails because
the camera reports all black.
This is particularly frustrating since I built this computer to offer USB 3.0 support specifically so I could do work with Kinect and Unity. This was before I knew the issues Kinect has with ASMedia, so for me this has been a significant investment for a
black screen.
Edit: To clarify, the Kinect is plugged into the PCI/E card (Manhatten 150491) and not into the board or a case slot.
Additonal note: The Kinect does not function properly plugged into my old PC (a USB 2.0 with an i7) or into my Surface Pro (1st gen)

Where can I download example projects for Kinect for Windows v2?

so for a project I am working on regarding the Kinect v2 I had initially planned on using Matlab to code for the Kinect. However, the code on the Mathworks website regarding the Kinect seems to only work with the Kinect v1 and I cannot figure out how to
get the v2 to work with Matlab. Now I am in the predicament that I need to use Visual Studio and have never done so before. To make matters worse, all of the guides I can find about programming for the Kinect assume you are very familiar with Visual Studio
so I get lost before I can even get through the setup (I have no idea what kind of project is best for Kinect, though I intend to use C# as my programming language, or where these settings they are changing are located). If I could just find an example project
file to download I feel like it would help me a lot, but I cannot seem to find one.
So my question is thus, is there a place where we can download project files for Visual Studio? I really just need to see what one looks like and what kind of settings it runs on so I know where to get started. It would be awesome if the project file involved
overlaying the skeletal model on top of people in real time as well.
If this is not possible, even a video that explains in depth how to go about using visual studio and the Kinect at the same time would be greatly appreciate, or a workaround to get Matlab to work with the Kinect v2.

Hi Jicnon,
When you download and install the Kinect SDK, it comes with the Kinect SDK Browser application. This applicaiton is a web based application that contains a bunch of sample projects for getting started with Kinect for windows programming.
There is also the jumpstart videos here:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/8428671a-781c-4850-a56d-905ab28f8f8f/mva-jump-start-programming-kinect-for-windows-v2-videos?forum=kinectv2sdk
To get to the SDK Browswer app just hit the windows button type in "Kinect SDK" and this application should appear.
There are also some samples in Kinect Common Bridge and a dicussion on using Matlab here:

Kinect for windows sensor does not start when using remote WMI

Scenario:
I have written a software (lets call it kinectRecorder.exe) that uses "kinect for windows sensor" to record images. The machine that connects to the kinect sensor has windows 8.1 and kinect v2 installed. The software is able to successfully records
images from kinect sensor when running locally. (meaning if I hit f5 from vs2013, frames are recorded to local disk)
Due to resource constraint and other requirement, I have to remotely kickoff kinectRecorder.exe on the windows 8.1 machine from a windows 7 machine. on the windows 7 machine, I remotely kick off the kinectRecorder.exe using windows WMI infrastructure.
The credential used for windows 8.1 machine and windows 7 machine are the same under same windows domain. the credential used to authenticate in wmi is also the same, I can see the user name running kinectRecorder.exe after kinectrecorder.exe is started
remotely.
Problem:
The result is that kinectRecorder.exe starts ok, but after the kinectsensor.open call, isavailable property changed to false, meaning sensor not detected.
Question:
What's stopping kinect sensor to be detected/opened (i'm not sure what the correct jargon is here)?
I have been search the web, In msdn documentation (known issues), I cannot find the problem being mentioned. I wonder if I'm the only person who has encountered this issue before.
Any pointer is hugely appreciated.

Kinect is not supported within the context of a service because of the underlying need for a user session, see
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/72cecf8b-ac64-47e2-b54b-ddbd1dc237c9/calling-kinect-sdk-apis-from-a-windows-service-is-not-possiblesupported?forum=kinectv2sdk
Can determine that the system has at least one logged in user and can you launch the application within that users session? KinectMontior/KinectService must be running for the runtime to get any data from the sensor. If you use Remote
Desktop to log into that user session, you can confirm this works by running any of the samples and they should work without issue(remember to ensure that your audio remoting is left on the server, see troubleshooting guide

I want to read the values of the inside accelerometer on Kinect for Windows v2 sensor.

I had used the inside accelorometer on Kinect for Windows v1. So I want to use it for Kinect for Windows v2 application. However I can't find any function or method on Kinect for Windows SDK v2.0. But it is near the Ir camera of K4W v2. I found the Kionix
chip. Do you have any plan to access this chip?

I just went through the slides of "Programming Kinect for Windows v2 Jump Start" of the MS Virtual Academy, and in slide #11 of slide deck #07 (Advanced Topics: Skeletal Tracking and Depth Filtering,
http://www.microsoftvirtualacademy.com/training-courses/programming-kinect-for-windows-v2-jump-start), it says:
Align the y-axis to gravity
–Tilt correct with
FloorClipPlane.xyz
•Falls back to accelerometer when no floor is found
•Rotate
scene such that “up” is (0,1,0)
So, just to make sure I understand, you are saying that the information provided in the slide deck (and in the video) is erroneous and we cannot access the accelerometer info?

Download a Project file for Visual Studio regarding the Kinect for Windows v2? Getting Started with Kinect Development in Visual Studio

I am currently trying to make an application for Kinect for Windows v2 but I am entirely new to Visual Studio and Kinect development and could use some help getting started. I honestly have no idea where or how to start and I figured the easiest thing would
be to obtain a simple project file and examine how it works myself, but I have been unable to find one. The easiest thing would be if I could obtain a project file for Visual Studio that is an application which overlays the Skeletal model over people in real
time, though similar project files would also be appreciated. The app I am making largely involves things similar to overlaying the skeletal model on bodies so this would get me off to a great start and show me how the code is laid out within visual studio
simultaneously. (I would prefer the code to be in C# if that is possible but other languages also work).
I have checked out some of the guides for kinect development but they all assume you know how visual studio works so I cannot get very far in them. Thus if you know of a good guide to get me started with visual stuido AND the Kinect then I would be glad
to here that as well.
Alternatively, and I know this is not the right place for this, I have Matlab, which I know works for the Kinect v1 but can't find support for it regarding the v2, so if you could point me in the right direction on how to get it to work with the Kinect v2
THAT would also work incredibly well as I am much more familiar with Matlab.
I already have Visual Studio Ultimate 2013 installed, as well as the Kinect SDKv2.0, the physical Kinect for Windows v2, and my laptop meets all of the requirements for development so those are not issues.
Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me!

Hi Jicnon,
Thank you for posting in MSND forum.
Since this forum is discuss: Visual Studio WPF/SL Designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System, and Visual Studio Editor. About your issue, I think that it is
more related to the Kinect for Windows v2, so I suggest you can post this issue directly to Kinect for Windows v2 SDK forum:https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=kinectv2sdk
,maybe you will get better support.
In addition, I find a similar thread about your issue, maybe you will get some useful message.

Finding the XYZ real world coordinates of the Kinect for Windows V2

Hi Everyone;
I am new to Kinect development and this might be sort of a basic question but I searched online and still confused about the matter.
So I have a depth image that I obtained from the Kinect for windows V2 and through some algorithm that I developed on MATLAB, I was able to output the Z distance in mm.
So now I want to have the X,Y real world coordinates as well.
So to do that I am using the following equations that I found for the old system:
x_world = (x_screen - c_x) * B/f_x;
y_world = (y_screen - c_y) * B/f_y;
where x_screen is the midpoint of the IR camera ( I am using the IR stream=512/2=256) and the y_screen (424/2=412)
B is my distance in Zmm
F_x and F_y is the focal length of the lens in x n y direction that I obtained through my own calibration.
So am I doing it correctly?
Is there any way I can use to double check the results I am getting?
Thanks;
Ali

You can use the coordinate mapper as this will take into account the camera intrinsics:

Support on Kinect for Windows V2

We’ve purchased Kinect Windows V2 and we are trying to find x,y,z real co-ordinates of a point.
The method given in the sample guide is 'MapcolourframetoCameraspace'. This method takes the argument
Array<CameraSpacePoint>^ cameraSpacePoints
What is the meaning of this argument, especially the ‘^’ sign?

I just went through the slides of "Programming Kinect for Windows v2 Jump Start" of the MS Virtual Academy, and in slide #11 of slide deck #07 (Advanced Topics: Skeletal Tracking and Depth Filtering,
http://www.microsoftvirtualacademy.com/training-courses/programming-kinect-for-windows-v2-jump-start), it says:

Kinect for Windows v2 vs Kinect for Xbox One

I have found the official page (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/kinectforwindows/meetkinect/features.aspx) that
describes the hardware specifications for Kinect
for Windows v2. But I cannot seem to find the hardware specification for Kinect
for Xbox One. I just want to know if there is any difference in hardware specification between these two devices
and if there are features, that are supported by the SDK 2.0 only for specific version?

Actually there is one slight difference with IR, as found here:

Private forum for kinect for windows developer preview

Hello all,
I received notification email from Microsoft regarding Kinect for Windows developer preview. In the beginning of the content, it is written:
"Until the program agreement is signed you cannot get access to the pre-release sensor, the SDK and documentation, or the private forum. Please check your junk or span folder. If you still are not able to locate the Docusign agreement please let us
know and we will resend it to you."
After checking my junk folder, I could not find any, so I replied the email asking to resend the document, I got email response suggesting me to use technical support in the private forum for 'Kinect for Windows developer preview'. But if I clicked the link,
I got message "no results were found". I think I still don't have access to the private forum.
I appreciate any suggestion.
Thank you in advance.

Kinect forums are over here.

Windows update cannot currently check for updates

dears
when I Try to update my windows 7 by clicking on windows update ( control panel or windows update) I get some notification saying
"windows update cannot currently check for updates because of the service is not running you may need to restart the computer"
I have tried with 2 solution in internet found but not successeded as below :
1) stop windows update service and rename " SoftwareDistribution" folder in order to be created later after restart aformentioned service" and some solution as for stop "Background Intelligent Transfer Service" before windows
update service even though didnt pass.
2) run windows update troubleshooter to idnetify the problems and fix the issue , it tells me its fixed but nothing there.
I need your support please if somebody encounter that to let me run my windows Update for more information its colored with red.
Ali Hadawe

Hi ,
First of all ,I would you suggest to check the status of the "Windows update "services " and "Background Intelligent Transfer service".Run "Services.msc" to open the services manager.
Someone has tried the following methods to resolve the similar issue,please have a try :
1.go into Windows Update and change the settings to "Never check for updates (not recommended)", click OK, and then change it back to "Install updates automatically".
2.Turn on the Windows Defender and update it .
Here is a link for reference :
