Actually, the faceAPI tracker plugin is very old and cannot be tweaked (since development was cancelled a long time ago)
To 'move on' and to also relieve the CPU-load of your gaming PC, we have developed FacePoseApp. We anticipate that the Visage tracker which powers FacePoseApp will improve in upcoming releases, since Visage is very actively developing it!

Hello,
This has been discussed before, but I can not find a solution.
THe FaceTrackNoIR app does nto invoke the faceAPI V3.2.5 (service is terminated), and can not be started.
Exiting the app and then starting the FTNoIR_FaceAPI_EXE manually shows the camera works with it.
So there is a bug or disconnet between the faceAPI V3.2.6 and FTNoIR_FaceAPI_EXE service.
How can this be fixed?
Running windows 10 Pro and yes I had run the app in admin mode, reinstalled codecs as admin, no joy.
Thanks.
Hello Gordon,
So when you start faceAPI manually, it works: that is a good thing.
When you press the START button of FaceTrackNoIR, does the FTNoIR_FaceAPI_EXE.exe not start automatically?
When I press start nothing happens, the process state is still terminated, so here is no autostart,
Also as a test, pressing camera button does nothing.
So this could be a Windows 10 issue, unfortunatley I must move on and look for another product, as I ran out of patience. The purchase was refunded.
I hope you will find a solution eventually.
If you wish me to try a beta for you, happy to participate in the future.
