[Java-player-users] camera problems

[Sunny <su...@op...>]

I'm trying to get the CameraInterface working, but all I seem to get 
betting back from player is gibberish. Here is a short listing of the 
program I'm using:

     public static void main(String args[]) {

         System.out.println("testing...");

         PlayerClient pc    = new PlayerClient("host", 6665);
         CameraInterface ci = pc.requestInterfaceCamera(0, 'r');
         pc.runThreaded(-1,-1);

         if (ci != null) System.out.println("CameraInterface good");

         while (true) {
                 ci.readData();
                 System.out.println("Width:  " + ci.getWidth());
                 System.out.println("Height: " + ci.getHeight());
                 if (ci.getCompression() == 
CameraInterface.PLAYER_CAMERA_COMPRESS_RAW) {
                     System.out.println("Compression: RAW");
                 } else {
                     System.out.println("Compression: JPEG");
                 }
                 System.out.println("Size: " + ci.getImageSize());
                 System.out.println("--------------------------");
                 sleep(1000);
         }

That is essentially the main part of the test program, it seems simply 
enough, but I'm getting values like these back:
Player v.1.6.4
[PlayerClient] : Got response for device 40(camerav4l) with access: r
CameraInterface good
Width:  0
Height: -16384
Compression: RAW

--------------------------
Width:  0
Height: 0
Compression: RAW

--------------------------
Width:  0
Height: 0
Compression: RAW

Width:  0

I know the camera itself works since I can use it in other programs 
(xawtv), so I'm assuming this is a playerstage/javaclient problem.

Any pointers?

thanks,
Sunny
