I get this error:

I have two webcams actually. I have Czech windows, but I think this screenshot from device manager is obvious:

Sometimes chronolapse does not have permission to access the camera, especially if another program has control over it (skype and other video chat apps are common offenders). This code is also really old, so it might just be out of date detection methods or something incompatible with your version of windows.

Are you using the executables from the readonly google code project or running CL from source?

Sorry for reviving a dead thing, but I'm also having this issue. Using this on Windows 10, and I'm using the read-only google code project.

Ah, sorry. Was using the wrong Windows executable. Didn't see that 1.0.8 was deprecated. Using 1.0.7 works just fine!

Thanks for the tip! Had the same problem, went to 1.0.7, and am rolling along fine now. :)

Had the same issue. Could you remove the 1.0.8 file from the download page?

Unfortunately google code is in archive mode and doesn't let me change anything there. At some point I'll just host the files myself and make 1.0.7 the main one linked from the site.

You can also host binaries via Github Releases if there's too much hassle\traffic hosting them from the webpage
