Webcam Support for OS/2 and eCS!!

(1/31) > >>

Sigurd Fastenrath:
After a long time of intensive development and tremendous work done by Wim Brul and a bit testing of me I have the honour to announce that finally Webcam Support for OS/2 and eComstation has been achieved!!

For detailed information please visit this website:

http://home.hccnet.nl/w.m.brul/usbvideo/index.html

Please note that there are still some limitations as sometimes especially the internal Webcams may freeze, but all in all another great success made real by Wim Brul!

All credits to him!

As I tested as well the X200T and X230T versions I guess X200 and X230 (without Tablet) should or may work also, as well all other Laptops with the Ricoh or Chicony Camera with the same Hardware ID in it.

Please try an report if you like!

Have fun :-)

P.S.: That was the "new" function I wanted to present at the User conference in Cologne as a suprise  ;)

-> We may establish this way live pictures/Videos from the User Meeting in Cologne via the Internet  8)

Wow! Thanks Wim and Sigurd for putting this together... I just ordered a Logitech C250 from Amazon ($19US) to try this out. It would be interesting to know how you set this up to stream video (if you do).

Regards,

Dave McKenna

Martin Iturbide:
WOW !!!! ---- EXCELLENT !!!

I will be trying it out.

Doug Bissett:
Well done, and thank you, to all involved.

I have a Ricoh camera in my Lenovo ThinkPad L530 (it seems to be identical to the XT230 hardware). Once I figured out that the device name in the instructions is wrong, and corrected it, it works as advertized.

The instructions say:

--- Code: ---DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\USBECD.SYS /D:5986:02D2:0011 /N:$X230TD$
--- End code ---
but when I use that, the programs complain that they can't find the device $RICOHC$ (note the last "C"). After I changed the command to:

--- Code: ---DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\USBECD.SYS /D:5986:02D2:0011 /N:$RICOHC$
--- End code ---
it is working well (except for the known limitation).

Wim Brul:
Thanks Doug,

A similar problem exists for the Chicony Integrated Camera. $CHICON$ has to be used instead of $X200TD$. I have corrected the documentation and the information on my website accordingly.

Wim.
