Hi - this must be really simple but I can't seem to find it.
How can i set up a player control to get image data from an isight or usb connected webcam?
Thanks

You cannot set up a player control to directly display images from a live camera; but there is a series of commands and functions to grab and display video on your stack - check out the example stack 'Video Capture' which you can find in: <Revolution folder>/<version>/Resources/Sample Projects.

Thanks - I'll give it a try. Might make for a good addition to version 4

This functionality is already present in version 3:
iSight/webcam = videosource = controlled with the videograbber external
So what's the problem?
