Also having the same problem with a firewwire camera on MacOSX - was working fine before the update and whilst it is found on iChat/FlashMediaEncoder the camera is no longer an option in the camera settings drop down.

Ah my iSight is fine, the video is displayed after choosing allow which pops up / respects settings for testwebcam.com and other sites. However right click settings > webcam > camera options only includes the iSight and not the firewire camera which had previously appeared in the previous version of flash. This happens in chrome, firefox and safari. I should probably open a seperate thread, the trigger for the issue appeared to be similar, however the presentation may be significant.

Does your camera work with local software such as skype?

If dropping back down a version of flash fixes the problem then ignore my last, just thought it was worth checking

I confirm, same problem here. I tried an older version 10.3, and it's working again.

I use a Microsoft Lifecam VX-1000.

I have cheked 2 webcams with 2 versions of Flash player and I have the same problems on testmycam.com on both windows 7 32 bits and 64 bits :

-     Flash Player 11.2.202.228 is not working with my Microsoft Lifecam VX 1000

-     Flash Player 11.2.202.228 is working with my Microsoft Lifecam VX 3000

-     Flash Player 11.1.102.63   is working with my Microsoft Lifecam VX 1000

-     Flash Player 11.1.102.63  is working with my Microsoft Lifecam VX 3000 

It seems to be a problem with old webcams and the new version of Flash Player.

Has someone have a solution?

Thanks,

Hi,

I have been trawling through the forums regarding the latest version 11.2.202.228 and its failure to support certain webcams. I have sent a bug report and simply have got nowhere. What I can work out he problem has been about for ~ two days (may be more but based upon posts). As far as I can work out Adobe have put no formal solution forward. One simple solution is to provide the previous version of AFP (and plugins) for IE and other browsers. Perhaps there may be a slight security risk (that can be in the small print in the download procedure). Also, my version seems to have been auto-updated to this standard, so I would serious question the auto-update as being recommended. Finally, my thoughts go out to all those people who have taken their kit to PC repairs or called in support to resolve this issue.

It appears that Adobe need to step-up!

Can I offer my application clients specificly to re-install 11.1 version, is there a link I can send them?

Chris can you link any MacOSX Bug ids for people having problems with camera sources, I tried cam twist as a workaround however this is also not listed as a camera source in the latest versions of flash - very frustrating, updaded to the recent new version of flash and no change. Flash Media Live Encoder seems to be the best workaround. Have found discussions of this problem over the past 12 months but no links to adobe bug reports. My hardware details:

FireWire:

    FireWire Bus:

      Maximum Speed: Up to 400 Mb/sec

        GR-DV4000:

          Manufacturer: JVC

          Model: 0x50080

          GUID: 0x8088050403195B

          Maximum Speed: Up to 100 Mb/sec

          Connection Speed: Up to 100 Mb/sec

          Sub-units:

            GR-DV4000 Unit:

              Unit Software Version: 0x10001

              Unit Spec ID: 0xA02D

the latest beta looks better - tried it with camtwist and that worked, will try my firewire tommorrow and let you know.

[EDIT]

No the firewire camera is still missing from the source list - however with camtwist working in chrome (but not safari, yet they're using the same beta version of flash...) - I now have a workaround as the firewire camera is in the list of sources for camtwist (and flashmedialiveencoder and skype and everything but flash...)

Safari would be loaded as part of the operating system whereas chrome would be loaded as an application. Could a driver loading after(or during) the loading of the flash plugin container be a possible cause, the list used to refresh as sources were added/removed from the OS but with this problem I am unable to get any 'new' device to show up?
