Error when running on Apple Silicon #11

Closed nanoplane closed 1 year ago

nanoplane commented 1 year ago

not running (camera view is all black) when running on Apple Silicon with the cheap camera I bought.. Camera works on other apps, but not on laser-level... I get the following error in the terminal: Videotoolbox desn't support cvPixelFormat: 2037741171 "yuvs" Camera pix format: Format_YUYV

Looks to be the camera pixel format being the issue. I've never heard of YUVS before. YUV is common. Not sure what the S stands for. I'll see if I can make sense of it tonight.

Weird thing is tha it works fine on my intel MacBook Pro

Also works fine running on Windows 11 (under Parallels) on my M2Max MBPro... but not under Mac OS on the same machine.. I suspect it's a code version thing..

I have no way of testing it on apple silicon. It is most likely related to it being incompatible with QT which is what the tool is built with. I would suggest stick with intel/amd based machines to use this tool
