Is that a Windows only opton? I don’t see an option in Settings for Camera Capture Settings (just Camera Resolution, View, and Rotate 90) I’m using Lightburn 1.2.01 on Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS. My cameras and operation are as follows:
Camera 1: Arducam IMX298 – Works in OS/Other Apps, Does Not Work in LIghtburn
Camera 2: Another Arducam, but shows up as ‘USB Camera’ – Works in OS, Does Not Work In LIghtburn
Interestingly, Camera 2 used to work in both the OS and Lightburn. In fact I went through the whole calibration process etc. However, I was having issues with updating Lightburn and other applications and needed to update my OS version. After updating my OS (from 16 LTS to 22 LTS), neither camera works in Lightburn, but both do work in other OS applications.
My best guess based on developer intuition and research (but not definitive evidence) has to do with security changes on the OS that would require LIghtburn to enable security settings in the OS software management settings which allow the user to provide camera access to the application.
I tried using command line options to provide permissions but either that path does not work, or I am applying them wrong, which is completely an option.
All of the above to say … I could try changing LInux OS, or a diferent camera … but based on findings so far, and researching the forum threads … I’m not sure another camera will solve it, and changing OS is a disruptive / time consuming option which also may not resolve it if this issue spans multiple OS, which from the forum threads it appears to.
Apologies for the dissertation, let me know if this should be reposted somewhere else … my initial goal on this thread was to make note that there are several threads on multiple OS, and felt like what was a needed is an umbrella/sticky topic that would look at the “camera works on OS, shows up in Lightburn, but only shows black screen” topic.
Thanks!
