OnLocation fails to record from Microsoft LifeCam Studio 1080p HD Webcam

Hi,
I finally installed and configured OnLocation on my laptop, and I was looking forward to shooting 1080p footage in my car. Imagine my disappointment when it turned out that OnLocation refuses to record from the camera! I know the camera works because other software can use it (alas, at 720p). Why is it I am not having any luck with this? All the other forums suggested that OnLocation is the ultimate tool for mobile recording to disk, and now I can't even get it to show me the live footage. What gives?

  • How to debug ABAP Web services from Microsoft Visual Studio

    When developing .NET based Web services clients using Visual Studio that call Web services in SAP NetWeaver .NET developers would like to be able to debug inside SAP. In my blog <a href="/people/andre.fischer/blog/2007/02/07/how-to-debug-abap-web-services-from-microsoft-visual-studio to debug ABAP Web services from Microsoft Visual Studio</a> I would like to point .NET developers to the fact that SAP NetWeaver offers the option of external debugging to perform this task. Though the steps that have to be performed are described in the SAP Online Help I am sure that this option is not well known amongst the .NET developer community.

    Hello WilliamIV,
    >>How can I "configure" Visual Studio debugger to allow validation to work?
    Since I do not have a VS2012 environment, according to your provided link, I created a test demo with VS2013, however, both ways catch the validation error:
    If possible, you could have a try with VS2013 to see if it works or run the example on other machine with VS2012 to see if this is caused by the VS environment, in my side, I do not change any configuration, all are default.
    If I misunderstood this issue, please feel free to let me know.

  • Microsoft Lifecam Studio HD not working with skype...

    Greetings, I recently upgraded my computer from windows 8 to Windows 8.1.
    My webcam works in the microsoft lifecam application, but when I attempt to use it in Skype, I just see the the swirling 'loading' icon for the webcam.
    I would like to resolve this as soon as possible
    Thanks

    When I say that it doesn't work with any webcam software in the desktop, I mean Skype, Windows Live Messenger, LiveCam Studio software, CyberLink YouCam and not even in the Microsoft Silverlight configuration.
    I know that the webcam is working because it works in the camera app of metro, and in the sound recorder of the desktop. Of course I can see that the webcam microphone is working, but using any of the above software have no video or audio.
    YouCam gives me this error message: "YouCam cannot connect to your webcam ( Microsoft LifeCam Cinema). Try selecting another capture device within settings, or close any applications that may be using this webcam and then restart YouCam."
    worked ok up till last week, downloaded Have reinstall all new drivers and Softwear up to date but No LifeCam.EXE File is missing from Software (US)
    Microsoft needs to fix this as cam only got as Skype Certified

  • Microsoft Lifecam Studio stops being recognized while connected

    Good day,
    We are using Microsoft Lifecam Studuio webcams with Windows 7 PCs to faciliate desktop VTC with Polycom's CMA Desktop. The PCs are multi-user. We are finding that, without touching the webcam, it is stopping to be recognized by the O/S for some unknown reason,
    requiring the user to unplug and reconnect the webcam for it to be recognized once again. This is inconvenient as the users do not have easy access to their PCs, nor do we expect that this should be a regular requirement for a peripheral device, once connected
    it should remain active.
    Are there maybe firmware updates for the Lifecam or a driver update that should be used to correct? (Currently using 6.1.7601.18208) Is the webcam being affected because of multi-user sessions?
    Thanks for any advice.

    Hi SA Stewart ,
    "We are finding that, without touching the webcam, it is stopping to be recognized by the O/S for some unknown reason, requiring the user to unplug and reconnect the webcam for it to be recognized once again"
    Do you mean this device will stop working when we try to switch the user or it just stopped suddently ?Will the issue occur regularly ?
    We can download the latest fireware update and software for the device here .
    LifeCam Studio
    http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/p/lifecam-studio/Q2F-00013#support
    If the issue occured when we try to switch the user ,I suggest you to stop the process which is occupying this device from the task manager before we switch the user.
    If it is possible ,we can try to connect the device to another machine to verify whether this issue only occurred with this specific machine .
    Best regards

  • Successfully imported from TRV 460 firewire for D8 but fails to record from translated Hi8 or 8 even though images and audio is received.

    TRV460 can play back newer format D8 as well as old formats Hi8 and 8 tapes.  According to manual and comments I've seen on e-bay and internet blogs when it outputs the playback for old Hi8 and 8 tapes it translates them to a digital signal on the firewire connection between my sony camcorder TRV460 and macbook Pro.   If I'm using a D8 tape it works fine.  If I'm using an 8 formated tape the image and audio appear on the import playback.  But when I try to record there is a warning message that data is missing.  If this is a sony problem how is it that the imovie succussfully provides the visual and audio?  It would appear the digital is sent.  Seems to me like it must be an imovie issue?  But I'm not sure.
    Can anyone help.

    If I understand this correctly, then you have an Optimus graphics card (couldn't find anything online, but your lspci looks like it). I too have such a setup on my laptop. The thing to keep in mind here, is that your main graphics card is the Intel integrated card. So instead of installing your system like with an nvidia card, you install it like an intel card. Specifically, you would want to follow the instructions on Bumblebee. Once you followed them, the whole graphics part runs on the Intel card. Once you want to play a game or do some other heavy graphics card work you call your application like this:
    optirun wine /path/to/game.exe
    Notice how optirun tells the system to use the nvidia card. It will take a second or two to start it (specifically, enable the card, start another X screen and launch the application on it transparently). Follow the instructions in the Wiki if you have any problems.
    If you don't have an Optimus card (just NVIDIA, no Intel), then don't follow any Optimus instructions, just usual NVIDIA stuff from the Wiki.

  • Microsoft Lifecam Studio help

    Mac instantly recognizes this webcam when plugged in and can be used with photobooth, skype, etc but it inverts the picture. Is there anyway around this? I'm aware of things like "evocam" but I don't see how to utilize that when I want this primarily for skype and tinychat.

    More to add. I'm even more curious now - I just got my brand new Dell XPS 13 and installed build 9926 on it. Guess what - no video in Skype! Different camera, different HW. Does video in modern Skype on build 9926 work for anyone?

  • Adobe Media Server failing to record video if switched from play to record midstream

    The Adobe Media Server is failing to record video if switched from play to record midstream. It is an intermittent issue that happens randomly one out of every 30 attempts.
    Flash Runtime: Flash Player ActiveX 11.7.700.169 or Flash Player ActiveX 11.4.402.287
    Media Server: AMS5.0.1, also FMS4.5.5
    (The problem happens on both FMS4.5.5 and AMS5.0.1)
    The ActionScript is as follows:
    netstreamRoger.publish("719_Client","play");
    Then 1 second later:
    netstreamRoger.publish("719_Client","record");
    netstreamRoger is streaming out the video and audio data correctly, because there is another computer playing the stream 719_Client live. So the media server is forwarding the stream correctly when live. The bug is when you attempt to playback 719_Client.flv the file does not contain any video data. The file size is not zero, and the file is not corrupted, but the file size is smaller than it would be if it had saved the video in it.
    How do I submit this bug to the Media Server team, and how can I workaround this issue?
    Below is the log from the Media Server 5.0.1

  • TCS fails recording from MCU

    Hi all,
    I found TCS fails recording from MCU when I use 2 Byte characters for MCU H.323 ID.
    (Home > Settings > H.323  >(Mandatory) H.323 ID to register )
    In that case, we can call and record conferences when we call MCU from TCS using conference's E.164 number.
    But we can't record conferences when we call TCS from MCU using TCS's E.164 number.
    (During failed recording, TCS outputs error log "Error: Calling stored procedure, Stored procedure error occurred [stored_procedure_error = XML parsing: line 1, character 66, whitespace expected] - Continuing")
    This issue can be resolved simply excluding 2 Byte characters from H.323 ID of MCU.
    But our customer needs to use 2 Byte characters, so is there any way to do so?

    I think I get it now. The hype. Not the scary hype. Not the news articles that say attendees should only use pencil and paper or “burner phones.” What is this, The Wire? I looked all over for Marlo and Stringer and Fuzzy Dunlop and didn’t see them anywhere.What I did see was a killer keynote that made the kind of sense we rarely see in mass media. I saw technical presentations that simultaneously put my mind at ease and made me wary of what is inevitably around the corner. I saw a couple of sessions that were pretty dull but also packed with the kind of important information that will change my behavior once I get back out in The World (especiallyhow I treat my Mac… you know… because nobody hacks Macs, right?)The amazing part is that all of the diverse ideas I was exposed to today seemed to magically coalesce into a unified, albeit...

  • Hotsync failing to download records from Palm TX

    I just got a used Palm TX to replace my ancient Handspring Visor, but I can't use it with my main Windows XP system 'cause it just plain won't pull anything down from the TX. It'll put stuff onto the handheld fine, it just doesn't download anything. It doesn't even acknowledge that there's data there to be retrieved. The only way I've gotten it to properly sync is by installing Palm Desktop 6.2.2 on my father's XP machine in order to test if something was wrong with the TX. And I've tried both USB and Wi-Fi syncs to my computer, with no results.
    I know it's something wrong with my XP PC, 'cause not only doesn't the Hotsync work right, but Palm Desktop doesn't save anything. Put some data into the Date Book, Address Book, etc., press "Save All", and it'll cheerfully act like it's saving it while silently dropping it into the void. Reopen Palm Desktop and it's all missing. I know this 'cause I exported all my records from Palm Desktop 4.0.1 before uninstalling it, then imported them into 6.2.2, and none of them stuck. The only time it showed up was when I was fiddling around installing and uninstalling the Palm Desktops and tried to install 6.2.2 without uninstalling  4.0.1 and the installer caught that the old one was installed and told me to uninstall it to complete the installation. So I did that, and lo, it imported all the records from the previous install, and they showed up in Palm Desktop 6.2.2. Of course it wouldn't save any changes after that, but it could upload them into my TX.
    Anyway, if someone could help be nail down where the Hotsync and Palm Desktop are breaking, that'd be really helpful. I'm at my wits end on this one. Thanks.

    Have you checked the HotSync Manager settings for each conduit?  Are they set to "Synchronize", or writing in one direction only?
    Is there more than one HotSync Account name on Palm Desktop?  Are you viewing the correct one that matches the name in the HotSync app on the TX?

  • How to handle the failed records from the table when using DB Adapter

    Hi,
    I am reading some records from table using DB Adapter inside my synchronous BPEL process. Say like reading 100 records from table in between after successful reading of 90 records an error occured in 91st record due some various reasons(like DB down, Connection interrupted etc.). Then how to handle this situation, whether i have to read all the records from the begining and is there any option to continue from where it stopped reading.
    Can please anybody help me out in the regard?
    Thanks in advance
    Regards,
    Aejaz

    we had the same requirement some time ago and had two option:
    1. ask the R/3 development team add a deletion indicator in the table (and thus not actually deleting the record). this deletion indicator could then be used like for any other standard datasource
    this option was however refused, due to huge data volume after a while
    2. at the end of the load we copied the ZTABLE1 to ZTABLE2. then in the begin of the load (day after) we compare the data of table1 to table2. entries available in table2 but not in table1 are deleted, and we put a 'D'. in deletion indicator; as we only keep the deleted entries for one day, the volume of the new table is acceptable.

  • How to change "Custom Delivery has failed to these recipients or group from another user" From Microsoft Outlook

    By default, the system generated mailbox comes from sender “Microsoft Outlook” like the screen shoot below .Sometimes we might need to change the display name of the system generated mailbox because of some reasons.
    The simplest way to change the field of the display name on the red line is to
    make this change in the ADSIEdit. Make short of long, here are the steps:
    Open ADSIEdit.msc
    Configuration -> Services -> Microsoft Exchange -> Company Name -> Transport Settings
    Right-click “CN=MicrosoftExchange329e71ec88ae4615bbc36ab6ce41109e” to properties.
    Locate the display name attribute, it should be Microsoft Outlook, then change it to Desired Display name that users want to see when they receive an NDR.
    Close ADSIEdit.
    Up to now, this can satisfy the needs of most people. But in my case, I also want to change the SMTP address ([email protected])
    to be easy to understand.
    We can use the below command to get the value of the MicrosoftExchangeRecipientPrimarySmtpAddress
    Get-OrganizationConfig | FL MicrosoftExchangeRecipientPrimarySmtpAddress
    To change the value of MicrosoftExchangeRecipientPrimarySmtpAddress is little bit tricky.
    If we make any organizational changes by running Set-Organizationconfig command then it reverts back this value to default value Microsoft Outlook.
    First we need to change the value by running the below command
    Set-OrganizationConfig -MicrosoftExchangeRecipientEmailAddressPolicyEnabled $False
    And then we need to set an appropriate email address from which it can send out NDR’s to the internal users.
    Set-OrganizationConfig -MicrosoftExchangeRecipientPrimarySmtpAddress
    [email protected]
    Note:
    MicrosoftExchangeRecipientEmailAddressPolicyEnabled –
    If this parameter is set to
    $false, you must manually add new e-mail addresses to the Microsoft Exchange recipient when
    e-mail address policies are added or modified. If this parameter is set to
    $true,
    every change we did above will be removed.

    Yes, i want customize the DSN messages but i just want to edit user will send DSN message to client.
    because on my system, fortimail reject the user send mail not from domain. But user system on exchange 2013 send DSN message to client is blank, i just see From Microsoft outlook not a identify user. 
    example:
    From: Microsoft Outlook  <--- Exchange 2013
    but on exchange 2010, they identify a user mailbox to send client.
    From: Microsoft Outlook [mailto:MicrosoftExchange329e71ec88ae4615bbc36ab6ce41109e@xxx] 
    Thanks,

  • Launching VB6 Editor after installing Visual Studio 2013 results in "Please wait while Windows configures Microsoft Visual Studio..."

    I have had various versions of Visual Studio installed beside Visual Basic 6.0 Enterprise for some time with no problems, most recently Visual Studio 2012 Premium.
    I recently installed Visual Studio 2013 Premium, and now every time I open VB6 I get a dialog that says "Please wait while Windows configures Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2013" that shows a progress bar. After it finishes (30 seconds or
    so), it launches again and again and finally VB6 will open. This happens with each instance of VB6, regardless if I've already done it once and never run VS2013 in between.
    If I cancel the dialog, I get this error message in a dialog: "Error 1712. One or more of the files required to restore your computer to its previous state could not be found. Restoration will not be possible." Several more "Please wait"...
    dialogs will appear and if I continue to cancel, eventually I'll get the VB6 editor. It appear to work fine despite the error messages.
    It seems to me that the VS2013 installer flagged some dll's or other files to be rolled back whenever starting VB6. It doesn't appear to be necessary, and I'd like to avoid playing the "Please wait" wack-a-cancel-button game before launching each
    instance of VB6 (or waiting several minutes for no reason). So how do I fix this?
    Note: I've seen something similar happen in Outlook on a different PC when upgrading from 2010 to 2013. The same sort of "Please wait"... dialog would appear each time I opened Outlook. Judging by the "similar" questions that popped up when
    entering this forum post, I'd say this is a general problem with upgrading older versions or installing newer versions of major Microsoft software side-by-side.

    I found the answer!
    I was having the exact same issue, and I was search for a solution and I happened across the following thread: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/f4b0fd38-f4f9-41ea-bd8d-834203a175d2/building-visual-studio-2010-project-triggers-please-wait-while-windows-configures-visual-studio?forum=vssetup&prof=required
    Scroll a small bit down, and there is a post by Barry Wang explaining that you need to use event viewer to find out what is missing. Anyway, I opened event viewer, then open VS 6, then hit refresh in the event viewer (under Windows Logs -> Application)
    and saw a warning message from MsiInstaller. It gave me the following message:
    Detection of product '{9C593464-7F2F-37B3-89F8-7E894E3B09EA}', feature 'Visual_Studio_Professional_x86_enu', component '{E3FF99AA-78B9-4A06-8A74-869E9F65E1FE}' failed.  The resource 'C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\URTInstallPath_GAC\' does
    not exist.
    I opened an elevated command prompt, I navigated to the C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework folder and verified that 'URTInstallPath_GAC' didn't exist, and then I did "md URTInstallPath_GAC".
    Closed and reopened VS 6, and it instantly opened - no "Please wait" message.
    Now this may or may not be the same problem you are having (problem is - I have had it happen on two separate computers now with VS 6 and VS 2013 installed), but it should point you in the right direction. In fact, you should be able to use the Event Viewer
    for anytime the "Please wait" message shows up for any application, and then once there find out what is really missing.
