Hi, just wondering if there's any change on the webcam issues with Catalina on mac OS and if theres anything I can do beside bootcamp or windows parallel to get it working. Thanks

Still not ; you can try replacing the jars in lib/ directory with those releases :
- bridj-0.7.0 : 0.7.1-SNAPSHOT
- webcam-capture-0.3.12 : 0.3.13-SNAPSHOT

Just tried, replaced just the names of the Jar files and replaced them entirely with images? unless theres a specific file I should be replacing them with? unfortunately that didn't work. Thanks though

This worked for me using macOS Monterey. Give this workaround a try if you have Catalina or anything more recent:

Download the updated bridj-0.7-20140918-3.jar from http://maven.openimaj.org/com/nativelib ... 0140918-3/

Download the updated webcam-capture-0.3.13-SNAPSHOT jar from https://oss.sonatype.org/service/local/ ... 3-SNAPSHOT

Add both jar files to the lib/ directory

To replace the jars, the simplest way is to rename each new jar to exactly match the file name of the existing old jar while moving the old jar somewhere else (in case you need to restore it later).

After replacing the 2 jars, restart sexscripts. Now when sexscripts tries to take a webcam picture, you should be prompted to grant permission to allow access to the camera. After granting permission, the camera capture should succeed.

I hope this helps any others who are stuck using a Mac

If instead you wanted to leave the file names of the new jars in lib/ unchanged, you would need to update the Class-Path line of META-INF/MANIFEST.MF inside sexscripts.jar (see https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial ... wnman.html)

But hopefully in future these updated dependencies will get proper releases and can come prepackaged with sexscripts.

@ergdog, Thank you! This is a huge breakthrough and works perfectly for me in macOS Ventura. Hopefully @doti can integrate it into the main distribution soon. I know a few developers (including myself) kind of gave up after the Mac stopped working. I ended up using a Windows VM as a work-around, but having native support back is a really big improvement. Thanks again!

Those releases will be embedded in the next release of SexScritps.
But these look like unmaintained projects, and possibly will fail in the next versions of MacOSX ou Windows or Linux.

The webcam situation seems broken for me on macOS Sonoma 14.2.1. Whereas Java ARM version leads to any script using the webcam freezing, the Intel version allows for a pop up window to choose a picture to upload, though sometimes this fails too. wonder if there's any potential fixes or if this is also the case on previous versions of macOS.

The webcam was not working for me also in Sonoma, even with the snapshot jars for webcam-capture and bridj.

To work around this, I have been using an alternative driver webcam-capture-driver-native instead of the default driver.

Swapping the drivers required some code changes. You can try it and see more info in my gitlab fork

@erdog, Thank you! This has been broken for ages and it finally works now with your version. I really appreciate you making this available!
