Could not open camera - should show an error message with some tips #20

hello, Toonloop compiles and runs in ubuntu 1604 from the develop branch. But when I run it, I only get this window:

any clues what's wrong?

I also tried master branch, but it is not configuring through. I managed to install all dependencies, but it fails with:

checking for CLUTTERGST... no ./configure: line 16245: CLUTTERGST_CFLAGS: command not found ./configure: line 16246: C: command not found ./configure: line 16247: CLUTTERGST_LIBS: command not found ./configure: line 16248: linker: command not found checking for CLUTTERGST... yes checking for RAW1394... yes checking for AVC1394... yes checking for LIBXML... yes checking for boostlib >= 1.35... yes checking whether the Boost::Program_Options library is available... yes configure: error: Could not link against !

Hi! Only the develop branch works on Ubuntu 16.04. There is long-due release to be done.

Now, the other issue is with your camera. Try different image sizes. It might work. Use the width and height command-line options.

The default values for width and height are 640x480. Check the documentation of your USB camera to see what sizes are supported. Then, try them on the command-line with ToOnloOp:

toonloop --width 1280 --height 720 --verbose

toonloop --width 1920--height 1080 --verbose

Those should be auto-detected, but right now one needs to try them manually.
