[WIP] Webcam Plugin

[ShadeOgre]

OgreSDK/Samples/Common/include (if you compile the source manually), but I think, if you use the precompiled SDK it's in the same dir (but im not sure). Anyway, this is in one of the ogreSDK's subdir, so search for it

what the webcam is used for?
I downloaded Demo_Bin_WebcamPlugin, but have no idea how to use it, or how to make it works.

hi,

i'm trying to compile the source code with ming+ codeblocks but i get this error:

undefined reference to _imp___ZN4Ogre16WebcamController30getWebcamTextureByMaterialNameERKSs'

Someone knows what is this?

Thank you!

I've been attempting to use the webcam plugin for OGRE but I can't seem to find the Plugin_Webcam.lib. I tried compiling the source for the project in hopes that it would create the missing library, but I haven't been able to compile that because of an error I have been receiving. The error is located in the OgreExport ExternalTextureSourceManager.h line 51 and reads "error C2504: 'ResourceAlloc' : base class undefined. If anyone could either send me a link to the Plugin_Webcam.lib or maybe help me out with the error that would be really appreciated.

Hi all,

I have compiled the plugin in VS2005 - so that it refers to header files from Mogre and loaded it in a Mogre project.

1. When I add the plugin in the plugins.cfg - and launch the application, it crashes. I assume perhaps it's due to some references that the Plugin_Webcam.dll is making. From the log I get the following

17:26:12: Loading library .\Plugin_Webcam
17:26:12: OGRE EXCEPTION(7:InternalErrorException): Could not load dynamic library .\Plugin_Webcam. System Error: This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. in DynLib::load at ..\src\OgreDynLib.cpp (line 80)


2. Assuming that this is resolved, how would I access the classes defined in the plugin?

For example, WebCamController object is required.
ExternalTextureSourceManager.Singleton.SetCurrentPlugIn("webcam_video");
WebCamController webcamc = (WebCamController)ExternalTextureSourceManager.Singleton.CurrentPlugin;

Translated from Demo
ExternalTextureSourceManager::getSingleton().setCurrentPlugIn("webcam_video");
WebcamController* WebcamCtrl = (WebcamController*)ExternalTextureSourceManager::getSingleton().getCurrentPlugIn();

Thanks a lot

I found out that The webcam plugin dosen`t work with the latest OGRE 1.6.3 , It`s work 1.4.9 .

Hi guys! Any updates on the plugin yet? Tnx!

I managed to make it work on Visual Studio 2008 with Ogre 1.7.1, Open CV 2.1 and PTypes 2.1.1 without much hazzle.
Great plugin.

I'm trying to get this to build on VStudio 2010 but I keep getting bizarre errors seemingly coming from the standard libraries:

Code: Select all

1>  Webcam.cpp
1>c:\program files (x86)\microsoft visual studio 10.0\vc\include\complex(42): error C2039: '_C_double_complex' : is not a member of '`global namespace''
1>c:\program files (x86)\microsoft visual studio 10.0\vc\include\complex(42): error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier '_Dcomplex_value'
1>c:\program files (x86)\microsoft visual studio 10.0\vc\include\complex(42): error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int
...

Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks
