Simply calling imagesnap returns error

$ imagesnap 
    Could not create capture session.
Error.
Capturing image from device "FaceTime HD Camera (Built-in)"...

I've seen that simple message Error. when imagesnap can't write to its output directory. What happens if you simply redirect it to your home dir, as in imagesnap ~/test.jpg?

I don't experience this same behavior. In addition, with the code included in https://github.com/rharder/imagesnap/pull/13, I have it running successfully in OS X El Capitan. Are you still experiencing this issue?

michaelwschultz commented 8 years ago

No issues here. Think this issue should be closed.

I noticed something similar under OS X 10 when connecting my laptop to a monitor. Running imagesnap -l did not show any devices. Once I started and stopped FaceTime, it showed "FaceTime HD Camera (Built-in)".

I had this same issue on El Capitan MBA 2012. Running this command solved the problem without any restart: sudo killall VDCAssistant

I ran into

2018-04-10 12:47:34.987609+0200 imagesnap[31620:6736480] [General] *** -[AVCaptureStillImageOutput captureStillImageAsynchronouslyFromConnection:completionHandler:] Inactive/invalid connection passed

and @carleryd's command solved the problem
