Problem with sketch MIRROR PEGGY 3

[mad_max]

Hello everyone!

I would like to show video-clips (MOV.) on Peggy 2.
In the first step I want to play it over the Processing IDE (having a web-cam source) without using the Peggyboard.
However, when I upload the MIRROR PEGGY 3 sketch the processing-window stays black (No Picture). There’s no problem-report.
But when I try to run the MIRROR (processing library) sketch with the web-cam source it works perfectly.  

What is the Problem? And what do I have to do?

Best,
Max

Hi Max, 

In the code for Mirror Peggy 3, find the line that says: 

 video = new Capture(this, 320, 240, 15); //Last number is frames per second 

Immediately following that line, add the following line of code:

 video.start();

This is necessary because of a change in the the video library, in the new “beta” version of Processing that you are running.

Thanks Windell,
Thats the way, now it runs……….. but the next problem is:
when I changed all parts in the sketch MirrorPeggy3 to see videomovies (MOV. file) there is no
image adaptation to the 25 x 25 window . I can see only a small image section. The normal instruction :
image ( movie, 0, 0, width, height) ;     didn`t function in this case.
What must I do ?

The webcam program is set up to take the image input, and divide it down to 25×25. For other input sources, especially at different aspect ratios, you may need to look at the video size and adjust how it’s divided down.
