ofVideoGrabber example uses ofQTKitGrabber on 10.10

[skijit]

I posted this to the of forum, but since this is a problem with one of the built-in examples, perhaps this is a more appropriate place to ask.

Short version: I'm trying to run one of the examples (meshFromCamera) and I get a runtime error with QTKit: [ error ] ofQTKitGrabber: selected video device id 0 out of range for number of devices: 0

I'm running OSX 10.10.5 (Yosemite) and Xcode 7.2.1.

Is there any way to run these examples without QTKit? I'm new to OF: can I swap out QTKit for AVF?

Thanks!

Currently ofVideoGrabber chooses the grabber implementation based on your OS.

See this section of code:

I think this issue can be closed now. It seems to be using AVFoundation by default. I can change the example to the resolution of 640 x 480 instead of 320 x 240, it complains about that in my system
