Hey @MajorMajor0 👋
It's well understood that capturing straight from capture devices is much better, and the code is already designed to list all video devices. Capturing from window screencap is only there for folks playing on emulators.
See code here
So you need to check why your browser is not listing your device.
In case this is a browser issue, note that Nestrischamps is tested only on Chrome and Firefox.
To troubleshoot, you can try this:
1) visit obs.ninja, click on Add your Camera to OBS
, and check if the video capture device is listed there.
2) In nestrischamps capture page in Chrome, open the dev tools (right-click somewhere where there's nothing, and select Inspect
, then click the console tab, and run this code:
navigator.mediaDevices.enumerateDevices().then(ds => ds.forEach(d => console.log(d)))
or if you want to see only the videoinput devices, run this:
navigator.mediaDevices.enumerateDevices().then(ds => ds.filter(d => d.kind === 'videoinput').forEach(d => console.log(d)))
On my computer, it shows this:
Thanks very much for the rapid response. I wiped and reloaded Chrome and it started working. It must have been some privacy setting.
If I could bother you with another question, have you seen the capture show up half green like this before? This is the same USB capture card you have.

Yes, I've seen the dreaded half-green issue reported before. It seems to be a bug with chrome, The only workaround I know is to use Firefox 😞
I want to tell you, this software is the tip top.
I started writing a program in .NET last year that was to have, essentially, the exact same features. I got as far as a custom OCR, and storing frame states, piece counts, and droughts, separate player logins, a calibration screen, and redrawing the board HD.
I got a little stuck on the interlacing issue. I tried to solve it by making the OCR count 4 identical frames in a row--I never thought of taking every other line. Then I got busy with other projects, and I set it aside. I had just picked it up again this week when I found NestrisChamp--which has put me to shame and made my effort totally obsolete.
All of which is to say how impressed I am, and thanks again.

I apologize if this is a stupid question: When I open the calibration site, my USB video capture device is not available. My guess is that the workaround here is to stream the capture device to a window and run nestrischamps on that window. I think it'd be better if this intermediate window were not necessary because
I suggest it'd be cleaner if you could calibrate directly to any webcam or video device
FWIW, my capture device shows up in the device manager under "Sound, video, and Game Controllers". And is enumerated by Aforge along with my webcam.
