test_tracker only works intermittently on OS X 10.9.5

[jceipek]

Most of the time, running test_tracker with the PS3 Eye doesn't work; the Move controller doesn't glow and the tracking reticule decides to focus on random elements in the background.

However, sometimes (perhaps <20% of the time), running test_tracker causes the controller globe to glow purple, pulse several times, and then start positional tracking perfectly.

Why does it work so intermittently?

Are you using the PS3 Eye camera or the built-in iSight? How have you configured the PS Move API?

I was using the PS3 Eye camera (the image showed up fine). I don't know how to get the API to use the iSight camera, so I can't say if that would work better.

This was recently fixed with macOS and the 4.0.0 build. At least with the built-in iSight, it works now.
