Encountering error "Webcam failed to start. Is it being used somewhere else? Input must also be capable of 720p, 8 bit." with SpoutCam The footage I am using is 720p, and I cant see any other app using SpoutCam.

Hey @thoi86 you'll need a bit more information to figure out what's going on.

Some things to check:

Does the plugin work with a regular webcam?
Did you download and configure SpoutCam as shown in the intro video?
Do you have video going into the SyphonSpout out TOP?

Hi! Thank you for the reply, I do not have a webcam on my pc so I cannot test that. I think I have done everything according to the tut, see attached screenshot. screen

Ok looking good so far. Another thing to test is a Video Device In TOP, see if you can select SpoutCam as the source, and what size options you get. Just to make sure. Disable the MediaPipe component while you do that (click the little X from the buttons on the left of the component) as SpoutCam only supports 1 stream at a time.

I managed to fix it by disabling and enabling the MediaPipe component again. Works everytime I re-open the project file. Thank you!

Glad you figured it out!
