Mediapipe keeps showing connecting

[AlanOnePiece]

I am trying to use Mediapipe via touchdesigner, but the camera screen keeps showing "loading"

Oh hey @AlanOnePiece sorry I missed your post. I suspect you've figured this out by now, but the most likely fix for this is to make sure you are running the .toe file from the release.zip file.

Hey Dom, Thank you for your reply. The issue still persists. Is that because the I am using the remote desktop ?

same problem here... have no idea whats going on

Hey @AlanOnePiece yeahhh Remote Desktop is very likely the cause of your issues. We are using webcams to get video into the MediaPipe plugin and I don't think Remote Desktop passes USB webcams to the remote host?

If the MediaPipe plugin can't load a webcam it will sit there on the loading screen forever. Usually you should see some kind of error message about unable to start wecam, but if you're remotely accessing a machine (or a virtual machine?) it could be other things causing issues too.

Can you or @KaiweiYou open the textport (Alt T) and copy the contents here? I don't know if it will help, but might give me some clues

hey @torinmb thx for responding,but for my case, im not using a remote desktop but just my macbook(m1pro chip). And my touchdesigner version is 2022.32660. The textport content is below:

I've tried download ur previous version, but still not working. Btw this is the MediaPipe content, maybe you can find out where's going wrong.

hi @domisjustanumber , i just upgraded the version to 2023.11600 and it worked perfectly right now, so i think its probably something wrong with the version. still big thanks for ur help and ur plugin!

Hey Dom, Thank you for your response. The Remote Desktop do pass the USB and webcam to the host. I can view the webcam on the system and browser, but it just doesn’t work on the touchdesigner, as screenshot below: [A screenshot of a computer Description automatically generated]

Mediapipe is set up to use a fixed resolution if 1280 x 720, so it might be the webcam passed over USB can't support that resolution?
