MacOS: Could not start video source

[HenriqueDerosa]

Hey there, I'm seeing a black screen. The camera was not able to start.

The error is saying

Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: Could not start video source

However, when I ran it from the code it asked me to allow access to camera, and worked well. 🤔

More details

• macOS Monterey, Version 12.2 (21D49)
• Tested with the macbook native camera only

It happens here also on v3.3.1, but the v3.2.5 works properly.

[HenriqueDerosa]

Just tested and v3.2.5 doesn't work either 😬
Same error, same line.

To double-check I tried a few times again, removing some cache from /Library/Application Support/mini-video-me.

I found some issues on the web related to the getUserMedia, but the way it's implemented seems right! 🤔

@HenriqueDerosa make sure the app has the permission to use the camera

[HenriqueDerosa]

I don't see it there. Any idea why? 👀

[daltonmenezes]

@HenriqueDerosa Try it on terminal:

sudo tccutil reset Camera

Then, reboot your Mac and try to run the app again, if it not work, try to check the Camera tab one more time.

@HenriqueDerosa Now, It's not working for me hehe, but I just downloaded the v3.2.4 and its working. Can you also try it? 🤔

[daltonmenezes]

Hi @HenriqueDerosa , could you please test the new release 3.3.2? It works as well for me.

[HenriqueDerosa]

Just tested all of them, @daltonmenezes , not working :/

[HenriqueDerosa]

the actual issue might be the app not being visible on the privacy settings. 🤔

Hi @ederssouza @oneberto @HenriqueDerosa @caiotracera @ellismarjr @rogerpoliver
Can you guys test this build please?

Also, move the extracted app to the Applications folder, then if it's not work, try to sign the app manually by performing the following on terminal:

codesign --force --deep --sign - /Applications/Mini\ Video\ Me.app

Wait until the command finishes.

If it's not work, try to give this permission to Mini Video Me:

In last case, try to give the following permissions too

Hey, @daltonmenezes.
After doing all the mentioned steps and restating, it worked! Now I can see myself, but after stating the app, the icon is not
showing neither at the dock nor "Force Quit" tab.

So, how can I close the app without needing to restart?

[daltonmenezes]

@caiotracera here

[birobirobiro]

[ellismarjr]
