Hi guys,
being new to the environment I am currently trying to setup the most basic vuforia application, by displaying a 3D object above a picture I have laying around using my webcam.
I run the 2020.3.15f2 unity version on my windows 10 Laptop and included the 10.0 Vuforia plugin. My laptop is a commercial Dell machine from like 2013 or so, but seems to be running smoothly. Since it doenst have a builtin webcam I bought a noname camera which I recently replaced by a Logitech C270 HD Webcam.
Besides watching a bunch of tutorials about unity in general I was trying to complete the steps presented in either of the below tutorials:
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yECYjgx5Byw&ab_channel=devloopAR
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdfStRynCLw&ab_channel=ElectronicandTime-BasedArtPurdueUniversity
Both have the exact same outcome. The screen turns black (unless I change the colour under "Background" in the inspector. And an Error Message is displayed (see Screenshots). Unfortunately I am unable to take much from that message, other than believing that this error causes the problem.
I did reinstall and reboot everything but consistently get the same result. Even with the different webcam. With all tutorials I have watched, it should simply start playing the webcam when hitting play. The webcams are working fine and not being used by any other devices. The branded webcam for some reason shows up as "USB Video Device" under the Camera Device name. This caused me to alter the webcamprofilex.xml file in order to remove a previously existing webcam profile error.
I havent yet found anyone with similar errors and don't know how to go from there. I have rebuilt and reimported the entire project multiple times. This unity visualisation is a small puzzlepiece to a larger existing project including MQTT. Just thought I'd mention that as "callback" functions are part of that protocol.
I'd be grateful for any clues regarding where to start on this,
Jonas

Hey there,
No need to be sorry!
@jonaskreiner, it would be good if you can share/validate if you get the same issue.
@hanss1, are you also using an external webcam? If so, would be great if you can share the type.
Many thanks!
Kind regards,
