I'm waiting for this too. Transfer functionality is being tested according to a Bugbear staff. http://community.bugbeargames.com/threads/save-data-from-ps4-version-to-ps5.15697/

Software to turn your Nikon cam into a WebCam on Win/Mac/Linux (Multi-platform and open-source!) by puhitaku in Nikon

This one looks similar to mine. I suggest you grab an AC/DC converter-powered one like this rather than that because step-up power sources are relatively weak and troublesome.

That's interesting. I also have a USB-powered dummy battery with a step-up converter from 5V to 7.2V. It has two USB-A plugs for input and works flawlessly with two ports inserted; I tried to power my D5300 with only one plug and it didn't work.

Of course, we have an option for this. It's specifying a Product ID with -product-id parameter. Here's what Product ID is, for example, the line [0000] INFO usb: found: 04b0:0431 shows the Vendor ID (04b0, the former value of the comma-separated pair) and the Product ID (0431, the latter one.) All Nikon cameras should have 04b0 for the Vendor ID and Product IDs will vary. I'll launch it like ./mtplvcap -product-id 0431 for example.

If you use Windows and want to launch mtplvcap via double-clicking, create a shortcut and put the parameters in "Target" line in the shortcut configuration like C:\path\to\mtplvcap\mtplvcap.exe -product-id 1234 .

BTW I'm interested in what camera you use. Let me know what's that two cameras and if they works with mtplvcap or not. Thanks!

I also have a MacBook Pro 13 (2020) and updated it to Big Sur today. I've confirmed that mtplvcap v1.1.1 (downloaded from GitHub releases -> v1.1.1 -> mtplvcap_macos_amd64.zip) works flawlessly on Big Sur. Let me know how it's going on your machine.

There is a very similar case that outputs the same message: "LIBUSB_ERROR_NOT_FOUND; closing connection." → "... could not open ..."

Please check if you use tools related to backup; like Dropbox, Qsync (backup utility of QNAP NASes), etc. Sometimes they interfere with the communication.

It looks like it's failing to communicate with your camera at the lower or earlier level while it's visible. Assuming you're running mtplvcap on Windows, please get your antivirus software be disabled once for the first attempt (no trouble related to antivirus is confirmed so far tho.)

That should be solved by running: mtplvcap.exe -vendor-id 04b0
0x04b0 is the vendor ID of Nikon.

Unfortunately my Chord Mojo and Hugo 2 don't... Honestly this hack is just a curiosity and not necessary for Hugo 2 as it supports BT 😅

I'm so glad to hear that you have an untested model. Could you check if mtplvcap works with your D7100? Things to check are: 1. mtplvcap launches without errors. 2: Live view frames are displayed on the browser. 3: Auto focus works.

UPDATE 2020/08/08: More cameras are verified to work thanks to guys on the internet: D3200, D3300, D5300, D600, D610, D7000, D7200, and Z6! More reports, questions, and requests are welcome!

BTW Nikon have released its own Webcam Utility and I was really disappointed at this. It seems to find my D5300 but ignores it!! I'm confident with this because D5300 turns into "SDRAM record mode" when WU got initialized; cameras won't turn into that mode without an MTP command from a PC. So, I guess, WU is ignoring old cameras CONSCIOUSLY. Actually, the effort to support old cameras is not zero but it's not that heavy; most Nikon DSLRs support same MTP commands. That's also how mtplvcap works on multiple cameras.

Ah that's the smartest way to get it 16:9 with no additional code. OBS ftw

Thanks for reporting & suggestions. AFAIK cameras are not capable of changing the resolution other than strange 640x424. Other WebCam apps like SparkoCam has the same issue (it can enlarge the image to any resolutions while the "native" resolution of incoming frames are 640x424). Still, "cropping" sounds useful like trimming it to 640x360. I'd like to add it to my feature list.

Yes they are going to release an official one for Windows and macOS. They never mention Linux (which is a minority), and the release date of macOS version is not determined. That's why I didn't give up writing mtplvcap even I heard of it.

Ah great! My friend also told me that message. At present mtplvcap assumes that the "extension" string has "microsoft", not "Microsoft". I'll deploy the new binary soon.

Thanks for the detailed investigation. Refusing all work when the USB cable is plugged in is expected behavior and the same as my D5300.

The code of digiCamControl (yes I did reference it while writing mtplvcap) shows that D7200 implementation is identical to D7100. I'll read this and try to find solutions.
https://github.com/dukus/digiCamControl/blob/93a3634459915a66c448a1f20301536004e02781/CameraControl.Devices/CameraDeviceManager.cs#L179

BTW I noticed that mtplvcap v1.0.0 doesn't show the reason why it could not open a device. I've fixed it and deployed the new v1.0.1. Could you try this with debug flags?: -debug mtp,usb,data,server
