CommandCam looks like a great project...but:

on your homepage [1] you say that it is "free and open source", but all license information in the source code (as there is no LICENSE.txt) says that "all rights reserved".

do you plan to publish CommandCam under an OSI approved license, e.g. (L)GPL?

also: i understand this is MSVC only; do you plan to add MinGW support?

cheers and keep up the good work

Hello

Nice work. I am trying to compile CommandCam.cpp with MinGW. The knowns troubles with Direct Show appears again. It seem that Mingw community careless a lot about direct show because it is still doesn't fully work in recent Mingw releases. I haven't tried Cygwin if it work for you then tell me to try it.
Anyway, I did apply the patch of Mingw + direct show but I still get three errors :

IPropertyBag does not name a type
ICaptureGraphBuilder2 does not name a type
DexterLib does not name a type

I searched so many but haven't seen any workaround regarding direct show for Mingw. I which if you personally have encountered those problems because I think that it is important to know how to use direct show.

I'm trying to find how to get a device by it's serial number and I saw your article but I don't see code for devserial

Hello @tedburke ,

First and foremost, I want to express my appreciation for your work on CommandCam. This tool has been invaluable to many of my clients.

However, I've noticed that the last update was around 2012, and many of my clients are encountering issues with the current version.

I wanted to kindly inquire about the current status of the CommandCam project. Is it still under active development? Are there any plans for future updates or modifications to address the current issues?

In the event that CommandCam is no longer being actively developed, I have been working on an alternative solution that I believe could be beneficial to the user base. I would appreciate your feedback and any guidance you might be able to provide in terms of making this transition as smooth as possible for the users.

Thank you again for your time and the hard work you have put into this project. I look forward to your response.

Best Regards,

Hi,
your tool works great, however I would love to be able to take resolutions other than 640x480, so a /resolution parameter would be nice.

Also I would suggest returning JPEG instead of BMP
