JUST GIVE ME THE APP - https://b-l-a-c-k-o-p.com/dmg/BLKOPCCX2_esd.dmg

This might get windy. We'd love to push an update to CamCamX2.app into the Mac App Store. We really would. However, the problems are compounded:

• First off, Apple no longer allows QuickTime(™) applications in the Mac App Store. As the current build of CamCamX2.app uses QuickTime(™), it can't be updated without a 64-bit rewrite to at least QTKit or AVFoundation. That's coming, but not this year (2015).
• Secondly, with all the crashing apps, submission time to get an update into the store is, well, lengthy. Even if we wanted to get the update to you last week, it would still be "Waiting for Review"

The good news is, we have an update for you now. Download link above. Here are the steps:

1. Make sure the most updated version of CamCamX2.app is installed on your computer (from the Mac App Store).
2. Double click on CamCamX2.app while connected to the internet. The error message should read "This application is damaged...quot;
3. Remove all the old CMIO drivers and the Prefs panel (FROM THIS OLD LINK).
4. Next, download the update and drag it to the desktop.
5. Double-click on CamCamX.app (the update).
6. CamCamX.app should launch.
7. In Preferences, install the CamCamX.app CMIO drivers.
8. That's it.

We just posted an update to QTKitVDIG (version 1.0.8) which is our first attempt to address the fact that there are two different models of FaceTime HD cameras: those with a native resolution of 1280x960 and those with a native resolution of 1280x720.

You may find this update useful.

Labels: camcamx, camcamx2, qtkitvdig

NOTE: As of CamCamX 2.0.8, these drivers are no longer necessary.

New drivers for the CamCamX2.app (Mac App Store) allow live streaming to Adobe Flash (in Safari 8) on Yosemite and Mavericks. The new driver is also much faster and compatible with recent versions of Skype.

Download from our CamCamX2 support page or from BLKOPCCX2MAS_esd.dmg.

What problem are we trying to solve here? Well, it's like this: CamCamX2.app runs in a security sandbox. Safari.app runs in a security sandbox. Our new magical elf (aka the driver) routes the CamCamX2 mixer output back into Safari and Skype as a virtual camera input.

Don't forget to disable App Nap for both CamCamX2.app and CamCamX2Menulet.app (camera driver).

UPDATED 2015/04/17 As Apple continues to increase the security of the so-called "Application Sandbox", some combinations of apps will not work.  At this time, our preferred solution for webcam streaming is VirtualEyez HD.  The CMIO driver has new features which make it more compatible with 3rd party camera applications. However, no 3rd party CMIO driver is compatible with Google Chrome (64-bit) and Adobe Flash. As of the date of this post, that configuration is not working with any camera.  Our recommendations are in bold:

Skype 7.0 - Compatible with VirtualEyez HD (2.0)
Skype 7.0 - Not compatible with CamCamX 2.0 (Web Download)
Skype 7.0 - COMPATIBLE with CamCamX2 (Mac App Store)

Safari 8.03 + Adobe Flash - Webcam - Compatible with VirtualEyez HD (2.0)
Safari 8.03 + Adobe Flash - Webcam - COMPATIBLE with CamCamX2 (Mac App Store).
Google Chrome 41.0.2272.118 + Adobe Flash - Webcam - Not compatible with any camera

CamCamX2 is compatible with Mavericks 10.9.

Based on our testing, CamCamX2 (MAS) works just as well on 10.9 as it does on 10.8.5.

Please contact us if you have any questions.

We posted a minor fix to our QuickTime(tm) driver today. The VDIG driver is responsible for routing the mixer output from CamCamX2 (Mac App Store) into any QuickTime(tm) enabled camera app. This includes most webcam apps written for Mac in the past 7 years.

Recommended for all CamCamX2 (Mac App Store) customers.

If you're running the Mac App Store Edition of CamCamX2, please contact support if you run into any problems with the live streaming drivers. We have fixes/workarounds for all scenarios.

Speaking of live streaming drivers, we posted an updated version of the System Prefs pane that has been signed with our DeveloperID certificates so it meets Gatekeeper muster. If you know what that means, you know too much.
