Failed to load process: create_plugin: The specified procedure could not be found

When I run volcap.exe I get the following errors in the log:

Hi @seltzdesign,

The plugin errors should not keep the rest of the pipeline from running. That is, if you just need to stream cameras and save the recordings there should not be a problem.

The specified plugin is for live mesh reconstruction, and actually there are one or two things that could be the reason for the error.

• One first thing is that Windows modified how dlls are found and loaded in more recent Windows versions. Our plugin loading system aligns with the most recent Windows version, so one thing is to ensure that your Windows distribution is updated.
• Second, the plugin's files are not included in the folder where volcap tries to find reconstruction plugins.

So that's main ones.

Hi ankarako.

Thanks for getting back so quickly and giving me some hints.

I am on Windows 11 with all latest updates installed:

Okay, so these are just optional plugins? I am looking to combine 3-5 Kinect Azure and then stream the pointcloud to another PC running vvvv via RabbitMQ. So this should be possible without the reconstruction? I will take another look.

One short question about the setup. Do the Kinects HAVE to be connected to their own PCs/NUCs or can a) multiple Kinects be connected to one external PC or just multiple Kinects be connected to the same PC as volcap is running on? I have a PCIe USB-C controller card with enough inputs.

The thing that will work for sure is to have a dedicate PC for each camera, and one to run as a host. If I remember correctly, there is the possibility of connecting more than one camera on the same PC (probably the application will recognize it) but not tested for sure. Again, If you connect many cameras on the PC running volcap they will be recognized probably, but not sure how will the whole thing work.
