Webcam broken in 14.03??

[rjolda]

Hi,
NT 14.03
Clarion 11.0.13606.
I found that the webcam was not showing an image for me to take a picture.  I am using a USB camera.  The camera light comes on and the App indicates that it is using the camera - but NO DISPLAY from the webcam.  This was working.
I went to web79 example ( Webcam) and compiled and ran that .  Same behavior.  This is in development on my machine so using port 88.
Is it my equipment or is this something that got disrupted in NT 14.03?
TIA,
Ron

Hi, you need a secure server for this to work.

Hi Alberto,
I know that I need a secure server to do this on the Internet.  However, on my local development machine it was working with localhost:88.  Now, it is not working on my development machine.  That is why I ask the question.
Thanks,
Ron

Hi Ron,

I'm working in 14.04 at the moment (which isn't released yet) and the camera seems to be ok. But I've been adding features to it, so I can't say for sure it was working in 14.03. I should get 14.04 out soon though so try with that.

It should work on http://127.0.0.1:88 - but I'm not 100% sure about localhost. I think localhost should work, but try 127.0.0.1 as a test.

Also, click on the icon to the left of the url in your browser to see the permissions. Sounds like your permissions is ok, but check there to be sure.

Also check the browser console to see if you are getting any errors.

Cheers
Bruce

Hi Bruce,
I tried example 79 Webcam.  No webcam display - either in Localhost:88 or 127.0.0.1:88
I get an unchecked runtimeLast.Error : The message port closed before a response was received.    MailboxesFormControl:1
That is what I am finding.

I feel like this thread is on a loop;

but why work at localhost without SSL?

[Bruce]

Hi Osa,

Because localhost is considered a "secure origin" as the traffic does not flow over the network. Lots of the API's which require HTTPS carve out an exception for local-host because it's "the same machine".
