SOLVED 'Cannot find webcam device UnityEngine.WebCamDevice' even though it can find the device...

Solved! Needed to have just 'device.name' instead of device.name.ToString()


I am using Windows 10 as both the target platform and the test platform.

I am getting the following error:
Cannot find webcam device UnityEngine.WebCamDevice

Here is the code snippet I am using for testing. I can find the devices by name and display fine in the console (I have tried two so far: one integrated, and one USB)

Code (CSharp):

1.   WebCamDevice[] devices = WebCamTexture.devices;
2.             for (int i = 0; i < devices.Length; i++) {
3.                 Debug.Log(devices[i].name + " , " + i.ToString());
4.             }
5.             webCam = devices[1];
6.             myWebCam = new WebCamTexture(webCam.ToString());
7.             rend = GetComponent<Renderer>();
8.             rend.material.mainTexture = myWebCam;
9.             myWebCam.Play();

I have found items on requesting permission and tried them with no luck as well. Although these are for "Web Player" access and this is not supported anymore.

I have also downloaded the Window Store Tools for Unity and the Windows UWP. After this tried to test in editor but still no luck. (I also built this application but do not know how to test it).

Does anyone know how I can access the web camera and have it play to a WebCamTexture()?

 

Hey, how did you solve this issue ?
