Chris Edwards struggles with his Amiga capture setup while testing a VGA splitter and converters to record clean footage.

Capturing your gaming experience has become much easier over the years and I always encourage anyone interesting in streaming with their friends to give it a try.  If you're using a modern console - O...

HI, I found this link: Lerobot Camera Backend Issues and originally tried their solution with changing `self.videocapture = cv2.VideoCapture(self.index_or_path, self.backend)` to `self.videocapture = cv2.VideoCapture(self.index_or_path, cv2.CAP_V4L2)` which helped a tiny bit? some of the red errors were not there. I then undid that back to `self.videocapture = cv2.VideoCapture(self.index_or_path, self.backend)` I then tried downgrading my opencv to **4.12.0.88** , and then ran the lerobot-find-cameras opencv command giving me the following output. --- Detected Cameras --- Camera #0: Name: OpenCV Camera @ /dev/video0 Type: OpenCV Id: /dev/video0 Backend api: V4L2 Default stream profile: Format: 0.0 Fourcc: YUYV Width: 640 Height: 480 Fps: 30.0 ERROR:lerobot.scripts.lerobot_find_cameras:Failed to connect or configure OpenCV camera /dev/video0: Timed out waiting for frame from camera OpenCVCamera(/dev/video0) after 1000 ms. Read thread alive: True.WARNING:lerobot.scripts.lerobot_find_cameras:No cameras could be connected. Aborting image save.

I should also mention that I was able to get a python script running with my usb webcam, and that worked great. I think there are some things that are automatically applied to the usb webcam when the `lerobot-find-cameras opencv` is entered here is that script for reference import cv2 camera = cv2.VideoCapture(0, cv2.CAP_V4L2) camera.set(cv2.CAP_PROP_FOURCC, cv2.VideoWriter_fourcc(*'MJPG')) camera.set(cv2.CAP_PROP_FRAME_WIDTH, 640) camera.set(cv2.CAP_PROP_FRAME_HEIGHT, 480) if not camera.isOpened(): print("Could not open webcam") exit() print("Press q to quit") while True: ret, frame = camera.read() if not ret: print("Failed to grab frame") break cv2.imshow("USB Webcam", frame) if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord("q"): break camera.release() cv2.destroyAllWindows()
