No camera detected in the widget

[frenchtouchXR]

I added 2 Kinect Azure cameras in the device repository, I start the volcap.exe but the devices are not detected. Could you please help ?

Please check if the services have been configured correctly and are up and running.

Is enabling remote desktop necessary ? As I work on a family version of windows this option is not available.

[zokin]

Not really, it is just for accessing headless mini-PCs easily.

I had the devices detected but none is streaming (tried with 2 azure kinect) .

[frenchtouchXR]

I managed to make it work by copying depthengine_2_0.dll to the Capturer directory.

[frenchtouchXR]

Now trying to get 2 Kinect Azure streaming on the same computer (USB) cos I have only one device streaming at the same time.

Is the main volcap application running on the same machine that the kinects are connected (and therefore, the remote_eye_k4a.exes run on)?

[frenchtouchXR]

The app runs on the same machine than the kinects are connected on (when I start volcap.exe remote_eye_k4a.exe stops). I notice the 2 kinects have the same IP. 192.168.1.11 maybe it has something to do.

Remote eye send me this message :

Logging to: C:\Capturer\bin Connected K4A device /w serial no: 000501194612 Connecting to RabbitMQ broker: amqp://volumetric:capture@195.251.117.104:5672 # Handshake Sent hello from 000501194612 Waiting for welcome (press 'q' to quit) ...

If I run a second instance the new one crashes.

Does only one kinect by machine is allowed ?

[ankarako]

If everything is connected on the same PC, it makes sense for the kinects to show up with the same IP. However, you will have a problem with this setup, due to the remote_eye_service. When a remote_eye.exe is running, and volcap opens, the service will kill the remote_eye application to spawn a new one. So that's your issue. Currently, volcap cannot support N kinects connected on the same device.

[frenchtouchXR]

OK I'm going to try to connect another kinect to my 2cd machine on my local network.

[frenchtouchXR]

I got my 2cd machine working with remote eye. Machine 0 with Kinect 0 and Volcap Machine 1 with Kinect 1 I opened in and out the 11245 port (UTC) for both machines. The machine 0 controls and receives the Kinect 1 streaming in Volcap. The problem is now the Kinect 0 doesn't stream anymore in Volcap. Is it possible to have Kinects on both the master machine and the slave machine ?

[frenchtouchXR]

I managed to do so by pluging in the Kinect 0 first, make it recognized and then pluging in the kinect 1 and refresh all then connect all.

Sometimes either a refresh is required, or switching USB ports, and if all fails perhaps a volcap restart may fix this :)
