DETECTING CAMERA THROUGH CODE
Hello
I have developed an application for real time video processing using JMF. Now my problem is that I would like to make detection of the web camera easy for the user. That is, without he having to go to the JMF Registry, I want to make it possible to detect his web camera. Please help me out. I have tried so many things and nothing seems to have worked.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Leon.

I posted code here a while ago, and there's handy "autoDetect()" methods in there you can use.
See

Actually, I'm not sure if the user needs to run the jmfinit program to add their camera to the JMF registry, or whether the
com.sun.media.protocol.vfw.VFWSourceStream.autoDetect ( i );
call will bypass this.
Anyways, if the code detects only one webcam, then it automatically connects. If it detects 2 or more, it offers a dialog box.
