How do know what cameras/webcams are windows compliant 360-degree cameras? Is there a list somewhere?
When I tested this on my Dell Alienware R17 laptop it could detect the Integrated Webcam. It also detected the cameras built into the Samsung Odyssey HMD. I also worked with the Logitech C920 external webcam. It did NOT work with my Ricoh Theta V 360 camera. (the only 360 camera I have)

The problem with this camera I found in debugging the program was in the check for:

sourceInfo.SourceKind == MediaFrameSourceKind.Color  // (MainPage.xaml.cs Line#501)

where my Ricoh Theta V was reporting as

MediaFrameSourceKind.Custom

and thus not compliant?

Is this something I can tweak the app to get working with the Ricoh Theta V, or do I need to hope that Ricoh will update the driver?

And is there a list of complaint camera's somewhere?

no such list exist today, it is up to manufacturer to adhere to the 360 camera standards from their drivers. Indeed they would register a color camera with proper attribute that identify the stream as a supported spherical projection such as equirectangular
