Transfer pictures to Slicer from a generic USB webcam in Linux using Plus Server

[lbo2021]

Hi,
I'm trying to transfer pictures to Slicer from a generic webcam in Linux using Plus Server and IGTlink.

In Windows I can successfully transfer pictures to Slicer using this Plus configuration file: https://github.com/PlusToolkit/PlusLibData/blob/master/ConfigFiles/PlusDeviceSet_Server_MmfColorVideoCapture.xml

Do you know how I should do in Linux?

Thank you

You can try using the OpenCVVideo device.
There's a sample config file for using OpenCV with a webcam here: https://github.com/PlusToolkit/PlusLibData/blob/master/ConfigFiles/PlusDeviceSet_Server_OpenCVWebcam.xml

Thank you for your fast reply.

I tried but I got the following error:

Connect using configuration file: /home/user/PlusBuild-bin/PlusLibData/ConfigFiles/PlusDeviceSet_Server_OpenCVWebcam.xml Server process command line: "/home/user/PlusBuild-bin/bin/PlusServer" --config-file="PlusDeviceSet_Server_OpenCVWebcam.xml" --verbose=3 |ERROR|213.684229| Server stopped unexpectedly.

I tried to change the device ID from 0 to 1 but I got the same error.

Do you have any suggestion?

Thank you

Could you set the log level to Trace and upload the full PlusServer log?
