Re: USB Camera Stopped working

We're experiencing the same error with our camera. We aren't using the sanctioned Microsoft USB webcam yet (those should arrive this week), but we did have the camera working with the same source code a couple weeks ago. Similar to your experience, it worked for a while and then stopped.

Suspecting our source code, we created a fresh project with nothing more than camera code to no avail.

There was speculation of needing to use a 32-bit JDK on development machines in other related threads. We've exclusively been using the 64-bit JDK and other people are reporting problems even after they switch JDK versions, so I don't think it's related.

I suspect an update to WPILib broke it but I also suspect our use of a non-sanctioned camera. I'll report back if we solve it somehow.
