I have tried but I failed to find the video device in /dev/ maybe, there is no supported driver... that would be really nice development... any volunteers :-)? do not forghet that boyfriends too could soffer the same treatment (spycam) and to that extend... audio is by far more "intrusive".... are you planing to stop development of recAudio too? perverts are all around, but stopping development due to that, seams to me just an excuse and what is worse is that it proves that perverts can succeeded to freek you out enogth (they win, community looses) there is no stop to development, and just not being part of it... it gives you less power on what can be done with the tool, think about it. (resolution limitations, flash,sound.... all thinks that being developer yo could decide o implement...)

I would love to use this utility to turn the iphone into a wireless webcam. My dad has an old PowerBook, and we would like to do video chat. My options are to either try and find an old iSight camera or to buy him a WiFi enabled smart phone. The latter sounds best! :) I'm really familiar with scripting and open source nix apps, so I know I'd be able to extend this software the extra mile. Anyway, I've enjoyed your software tremendously over the past year or so. Thank you very much! Hey Erica!

Nico, did you make it work? What about making a UI app, that opens snaps a pic, then closes? Erica maybe you can force your command line app to make a noise or flash the screen bright to alleviate any spy concerns? Still with hope Any one get any where with this? is it possible?

If you don't have it you'll need to class-dump it from the SDK or the iPhone. Make sure you have also include the path for the Private Framework when compiling (-F) Si tu veux, je peux ecrire un petit exemple et le mettre en ligne. Bonne chance ! Nico,

I tried to instanciate it by doing : [objc_getRequiredClass("PLCameraController") sharedInstance]; and I get "objc[1496]: link error: class 'PLCameraController' not found." I tried too : "[objc_getClass("PLCameraController") sharedInstance];" but the result is NULL... :'-( The PLCameraController doesn't seem to be registred in the objective c runtime.... did I make something wrong? Thank you barns, I tried to follow your advice but not since to work, at least on my 2.2 iphone.
the PLCameraController doesn’t want to instanciate…

I tried to instanciate it by doing :
[objc_getRequiredClass(”PLCameraController”) sharedInstance];
and I get “objc[1496]: link error: class ‘PLCameraController’ not found.”
I tried too :
“[objc_getClass(”PLCameraController”) sharedInstance];” but the result is NULL… :’-(

The PLCameraController doesn’t seem to be registred in the objective c runtime….

did I make something wrong?

If any one can prove me wrong then great, but I suspect even if Erica wanted to port it - she couldn't but actually why does it need to be run from the command line? Could it not be an normal UI App ?
