zakk4223 / csvirtualcamera Goto Github PK

I compiled the plugin from source and moved the plugin to /Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/DAL. I know this is based on John Boiles Simple DAL Plugin but that's working properly on Catalina and Big Sur but this CSVirtualCamera is not being recognised on both OS by quicktime or zoom. Can you please let me know if there is any fix to this that you are aware of ?

_transferSession and _pixelBufferPool throw undeclared identifier errors while compiling. I could be integrating the SDK wrongly though

I'm trying to connect to your plugin from my mac app using your code on SDK folder. But I'm getting the following error while trying to do it.

Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=4099 "The connection to service on pid 0 named com.sivrish.vcam.assistant was invalidated." UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=The connection to service on pid 0 named com.sivrish.vcam.assistant was invalidated.}

Have you ever faced this issue ?
I've also attached screenshots of my LaunchAgents plist and also my app entitlement file here.

Also, this plugin is not identified by any apps or even cameo ( https://github.com/lvsti/Cameo )

Tested on macOS 10.15.7 & Xcode 11.7, 12.0.1

Thanks in advance.

I was wondering if you have any pointers on the package installer. I would imagine the installer installs the app and also takes care of the launch agent and the DAL plugin.

I noticed the pkg installer is marked as done in the readme but could not find anything further on it.

This repo explains all the moving parts best among all the other examples for a virtual cam DAL plugin 🥇

I looked at SnapCamera's plist and came up with the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
    <dict>
        <key>Label</key>
        <string>com.cocoasplit.vcam.assistant</string>
        <key>ProgramArguments</key>
        <array>
            <string>/Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/DAL/CSVirtualCamera.plugin/Contents/Resources/CSVirtualCameraAssistant</string>
        </array>
        <key>MachServices</key>
        <dict>
            <key>com.cocoasplit.vcam.assistant</key>
            <true/>
        </dict>
    </dict>
</plist>

This should go into ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.cocoasplit.vcam.assistant.plist

Does that sound correct?
