Can you start chromium from command-line? I think /Applications/Chromium.app/ is not the correct path, there should be an executable inside that folder. Can you please run "ls /Applications/Chromium.app/"

I get this

im on macOS, the path to my apps is according to every source I find /Applications/(name).app and when I drag the chromium.app file to terminal it gives me

I think your Path should be like this: "chromiumPath": "/Applications/Chromium.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome"

[WesleyLiekens]

ok so it seems the path is /Applications/Chromium.app/Contents/MacOS/Chromium it still doesn't work tho

edit. screenshot works but then it keeps on loading until the no response message. that is how its supposed to work for now correct?

[werthdavid]

That doesn't sound too bad though... What device are you using for watching the "camera"? iPhone? Be aware that currently only the preview works, no live updates if you "click" on the camera

[werthdavid]

now possible with v2.0.0 and ffmpeg

[WesleyLiekens]

Great work!
