videotexture.videoffmpeg('cam') select webcam (manycam)

hi all,

i am trying to make blender open a window to select the webcam that i want to use with videotexture. is there a way to force this window to pop-up (i saw it only once)?

here’s the full story:
i am using a software to use my webcam in 2 applications at the same time. i was using camsplitter, but i have finally found a free application called manycam. so i have uninstall camsplitter and install manycam, all my other applications are working without even choosing the new “virtual webcam”.

but blender seems to link to the old camsplitter, because if i reinstall camsplitter on top of manycam, it works (but it doesn’t make sense). so that is why i want to “reset” the link or pop-up the window to select which webcam i want to use.

this is the line i am using to connect to the webcam:

videotexture.videoffmpeg(‘cam’, 0, 30.0, 640, 480)

i tried with 1,2,3,-1 :wink:

also, i tried to reinstall blender.

thanks!
pat
