DirectShow driver not saving settings.

rob2160

I am using DirectShow 3.28 with 120 mm / 120 MC and 290 MC camera.

The program "LuSol Guide" is for solar tracking and can only see these camera using the DirectShow driver.

The cameras work but when I set parameters such as maximum gain and maximum exposure (to 1 second) the direct show driver will never save this value and it always defaults back to the 60 seconds.

Can you please take a look, This seems to be a bug and has been present in earlier versions of directshow also.

Thanks.

Rob.

rob2160 Hello.
Are you talking about this Settings page? I tried on this Settings page and my settings was saved. It is not restored to the default value.
If that's not what you're talking about, Please provide some screenshot information.
Looking forward to your recovery.

Zzzz Yes this is the page I am talking about. On mine it won't save the settings. Each time I go back to this page the maximum exposure value resets to the default of 60 seconds.

rob2160 It is recommended to reinstall this program. If you still cannot save your Settings, please provide a screen recording to show your problem

I have reinstalled it a number of times and have the same issue across several laptops.

Here is a screen recording of the problem.

rob2160 Hi, Rob:
I've seen the video you uploaded. I noticed that the Settings page in the video is different from the Settings page for our DirectShow version 3.28 plugin. The following is a screenshot of the setup page of our DirectShow plugin for version 3.28

So I don't think you're using the DirectShow plugin for version 3.28.
Please download a new DirectShow plugin for version 3.28 and try it out. The url is https://dl.zwoastro.com/software?app=DirectShowWDMDrive&platform=windows86&region=Overseas
Looking forward to your recovery.
