I had install & setting the web-cam1 accordingly & it works fine.
My problem is if i restart the abelcam (or windows). This happen

04:41:01 one device active
04:41:11 add device WebCam-1
04:41:13 no device active
04:41:13 Stop WebCam-1
04:41:13 WebCam-1 device removed
Then
No camera on list.
Webcam-1 also missing from add cam list
The only way to get it working again, is to add a new cam pt-only or web-video.
Then remove it.
Only then Webcam-1 reappear. Once added again, it works fine until next restart.
PLease advise.

Hmmm, that is strange...

1) What version of AbelCam are you using?

2) What kind of camera? I am assuming it is a USB cam of some sort, right?

3) Are you using any USB hubs or extenders that might be causing the camera to have low power problems?


For now, to save yourself some trouble when the cam disappears, you can do this:

1) Go to Configuration -> Options and turn on "I am AbelCam Expert".

2) Re-start AbelCam

3) When the camera disappears, go to Add Cam as usual.

4) You will find a new button there: "ReRead Devices". Click it - you camera should reappear in the list of devices and you can add it without having to do tricks with pt-only and stuff.
