I have an issue with it crashing

Open Whiteshark1231 opened this issue 7 years ago • 2 comments

Okay, so currently I'm using this program and windows 7 Latitude E6530 dell laptop, and a Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920. What happens is I launch the program and set up the settings I need for my Lapse. But something weird happens. At first my test webcam crashed, So I thought okay I've had issues before with this webcam, and this program. Then when I started it, it would run until it takes a photo at that point it would crash. Mind you I have no build in webcam, but I do have a mic array. If you could get back to me quick this is for an environmental club Plant growth time lapse. So I don't know how much more time I have until they sprout.

Hey there. Are you building from source or using the windows binaries? You may want to try the 1.0.7 windows executables if you aren't already.

Also, you can start chronolapse from the command prompt with the -v flag to get more info on what is causing the issue.

Other than that, I'd make sure nothing else has claimed your webcam (Skype is a common culprit). That can cause issues, especially in code this old.

Let me know if any of that helps.

I'm using one of the 1.0.6, I have also tried 1.0.7 windows executables. So I can try the -v and report the info to you. I don't have skype installed, so that shouldn't be an issue.
