With Regret:
Due to recent changes made to ChromeOS by Google, Nicola will no longer be able to support ChromeOS with AstroDMx Capture. Changes in the ChromeOS operating system have resulted in incompatibilities in the Crostini virtual System. ChromeOS is increasingly including portions of the Android stack, like the Android Linux kernel and Android frameworks. This is a significant shift in the underlying architecture and it is most likely this that has resulted in the problems that now exist. The pass-through of USB devices to the Linux virtual system has always been problematical, but the problems seem to now be intractable. It may be possible to stream images at very low resolutions such as 800 x 600, and maybe only though USB 2.0 cables, but this would hardly be useful for most purposes. This is regrettable, but it seems that ChromeOS is no longer what it used to be and that the changes to the OS are increasing. The problems are not with AstroDMx Capture!
Some time ago, on the AstroDMx Capture website this deterioration of the capability of ChromeOS was documented and it was stated that the SV505C did not work under ChromeOS and cautioned that there was no guarantee that other cameras would now work.
Due to the fact that ChromeOS updates are mandatory and that it is not possible to install an older version, the ChromeOS versions of AstroDMx Capture will soon be removed from the AstroDMx Capture website.
