Channel lock when using the TRVCamera component

Post by cristhian.marques »

Good afternoon,

During some tests, it was noticed that when starting the communication via the webcam camera by the TRVCamera component, it was no longer possible to make another connection on the same camera while the component consumed it, making multiple use of the camera impossible, since I need to use the same one too for plaque recognition.

Thanks

Sorry, it cannot be fixed.
This is how the camera Windows API works. For example, if you use some web camera in Skype, you cannot use it in "Camera" app or in RVMedia at the same time.

Good afternoon,

Yes this really would be the correct one. However, in tests with other components they allow such action, being able to use the camera simultaneously with other software, so I thought it was some parameter or process that I would be informing incorrectly. Anyway, I appreciate your support.

Thanks.
