Multiple YC instances, config files don't match

Post by bsisson »

Ok, I got my Second YawCam instance running, but it keeps locking up. Can't open it, stop it, or do anything but reboot...

My LAUNCHER file doesn't match the example given. Mine looks like...

.
wscript.exe
start.vbs start.bat
yawcam.main service

Is this what it should look like? What else can cause it to "lockup"

ALSO....

I can't find YawCam or YawCam #2 in my TaskManager... so I can't shut it down that way... How can you shutdown a "stuck" instance of YawCam?

I rebooted once everything was done printing....

Everything was happy for a while...

This morning, The second instance was locked up again... (and no jobs were running overnight, server was idle)

Going to try to turn on debug to see what is happening...

Some more info

This is a win10 system
I am running 2x copies of Yawcam (yawcam and yacam2)
I am also running repetier server, its what calls the Yawcams.
Both cameras are identical, generic OVC usb cameras
Plenty of memory
Malware and anti-virus of course.

The ports and url are different on both instances.
When the system boots everything loads and runs fine, for a while.
After some period of time, Yawcam2 just stops. Sometimes it locks up, other times it just disappears.

I dont know where to look for an error log, or if there is debug I can turn on to see what is happening to instance #2.

Luckily, when #2 dies everything else just keeps running fine, except Repetier-Server looses one of its video feeds. It just shows a "no camera" image that it has.
