I am back at this, I can get the eye working with both macam and freds syphon app, but not in isadora.

I get an image for a short moment in live capture settings but then it freezes and a second later its gone...

thanks

Dear Fubbi,

I'm back in Berlin on Monday. Send me a personal reminder and I'll try this myself.

Best Wishes,

Dear All,

If you saw my previous post and attachment regarding macam, ignore it. My attempt to fix the driver did not solve the problem. More investigating to do...

Bye

Dear All,

Well, this PS3 macam driver is, as Elmer Fudd would say, "[There's something screwy going on here](http://www.hark.com/clips/gkpzkzdsvd-something-screwy)." It really mis-behaves in a number of ways, e.g., the sound driver doesn't appear until after you activate the video, which is not at all the norm. In any case, it took some re-writing at the app level to get Isadora to see the PS3, but I think it works now.

Please [give the new 1.3.1f01 version a try](http://troikatronix.com/files/isadoracore131f01-std.dmg), and report back.

[EDIT] Fixed link above to point to the Isadora version for 10.4 and after; originally was pre-10.4 Isadora.

Thanks,

Mark

I was trying to get my PSEye working a few days ago - just downloaded this version and will give it a try.

It's been working with the latest versions of isadora for me.

Just make sure you download the latest driver:

So, once I unplugged all my other video input devices the PS cam started working perfectly.

It didn't seem to show up in the device list when I had my BlackMagic SDI/HDMI capture card + a Firewire Camcorder and an XLR8 USB capture card plugged in . . . I'll have to play with it some more to figure out which combination was causing the PS cam to not show up.

Regardless it is great to be able to use this cam again!

Is there anything else I should know about 1.3.1 f01 before making it my default install? I have been using 1.3.0 F25.

Skulpture,

It had been showing up in 1.3.0 F25, but was exhibiting some serious problems - such as causing the whole Isadora interface to become extremely laggy and occasionally crashing the system. When I was doing my work last week I made sure to update to the most recent Macam drivers and didn't seem to help at all.

What ever is different between 1.3.0F5 and 1.3.1F01 seems have fixed it for me.

Maybe it didn't show up because there was not enough USB bandwidth?

As far as the instal; it is still a beta so there may still be small issues.

Final update for today,

After restarting a few times I was able to get Izzy 1.3.1F01 to recognize all of my video input devices along with the PS Eyecam. So everything seems to be working fine now!

Thanks Mark.

And Skulpture! Thank you too Skulpture!
