9 months ago Hey @joreg thanks for taking the time to dig into this. Getting webcams to reliably start and return data has been something I've been tinkering with for a while, and this is a new way of it breaking that I haven't seen before!
That's a good idea on how to catch it - I can move the webcam started detection into the prediction loop - then if the webcam takes a while to start, there are more chances to catch it later.
If you want to make the change, feel free to submit a PR for it and/or I'll be doing some work on this project over the holidays so can put the change in then.

hey dom and torin,
i see an issue where on some machines the webpage would run and show the camera but the prediction-loop is not initialzed. i tracked this down to what i believe is a wrong assumption in your setup() routine. i am not really familiar with js so maybe i'm reading things wrong, but here goes:
i wonder if instead, at the end of setup() we don't start the camera but always start the prediction-loop. in the loop we check if the camera is running. so whenever the camera is then started or changed, prediction would start?!
