Splitcam Fails to initialise webcams

August 15, 2020, 03:06:29 PM

Dear SplitCam Team

I had a success with Splitcam in the past version - Avid user, solid Software so I was excited to see upgraded and polished version!

I tried using it wish Skype and for some reason Splitcam Driver was not in the list.
I though - it needs a restart even it never asked about it - so I did but to no avail.
So I reinstalled Skype... the driver showed up (Splitcam Video Driver).
I booted up my Splitcam, the settings were gone (they reset themselves to nothing)
and when I click add camera. it's showing 2 sources (my LG and Facerig) but no preview and I get errors.

in short: adding camera makes the software freeze.
I tried

reinstalling but no luck.
reinstalling skype - no luck
restarting computer - no luck
checking if anything else is using my cam - nope.

I need an expert opinion..
Please help... I always liked Splitcam

My Specs
Win10
AMD FX 9590
Nvdia GTX 970
16GB of RAM

I had the same problem over the weekend and this time I installed the same version over the top (10.4.22) without uninstalling and then it started working - strange - but it worked.
