I will appreciate any hint on how to solve it

Thanks

Hello,

It seems that you installed the source code directly, which doesn't include all the needed dependencies. Please, try downloading the zip specific to linux from the Releases section and let me know if it works for you.

Thanks!

I did download the linux .zip from that link. And install the addon directly from the .zip And recived that error message. Do I need to unzip it first?

[patriciogonzalezvivo]

Yes, I can confirm. I download VirtuCameraBlender-cp37-linux64-v1.0.0.zip and install it and then when enabling I get that error

Sorry, we had some users reporting a similar error in Maya in the past and that confused me. I've just tried with a fresh installation of Ubuntu 20.04 and Blender 2.92 (stable) and it is working for me. Is it possible that you are using a custom build of Blender or custom Python version? Maybe a beta release?

[shycats]

If you can go to the "Scripting" tab in Blender and see which Python version is shown, it could give us some hint.

Same message on scripting than in the console out

I'm using focal version of blender build here:

http://ppa.launchpad.net/thomas-schiex/blender/ubuntu

[shycats]

Ok it seems to be a modified build of Blender, the one available from blender.org comes with Python 3.7.7. Anyway, if you need to use this specific Blender build, I can provide you a custom add-on build.

[patriciogonzalezvivo]

Sorry for the delay. Yes, my blender install use the system's Python.

[~/Desktop]$ python3 -V
Python 3.8.5

Could be possible to have a version of VirtuCamera blender addon on made for Ubuntu's 20.04 python's??

Having a similar issue to this

Traceback (most recent call last):

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'virtucamera_blender.virtucamera.vc_core'

I get this error when I try to enable the add-on. I'm using Blender 3.92 on Arch Linux as it is provided in the AUR. it uses Python 3.9.5, which I expect is the issue. as I expect my working version of python to change often, it might be helpful if you gave an explanation as to how to make the needed changes on our own so you don't have a repeat issue of this - cheers!

@patriciogonzalezvivo @robinuniverse If you are using the latest version of the add-on (v1.0.2 at the moment), you can replace this folder:

$HOME/.config/blender/<version>/scripts/addons/virtucamera_blender/virtucamera

with one of the versions provided here: https://github.com/shycats/PyVirtuCamera/releases

You must use a release compatible with your Python version. (e.g.: cp38 for CPython 3.8)

This did the trick, thank you!
