Camera Controlcommand Error With The Camerarecordstart Command

Hi, since a recent update (I don't know which one exactly), the ControlCommand "CameraRecordStart" returns a Camera ControlCommand Error and interrupts the script. The "CameraRecordStop" command returns no error.

All I can tell is that this command worked with the 2013.07.03.00 release... It is probably a small bug on the road to Revolution;)

Are you sure you used quotation marks around "Camera"? I tried

ControlCommand("Camera", CameraRecordStart)

and had no problems.

I tried last night and had the same problem on an older version (a couple of updates behind at most).

When I tried I used the Click & Paste to add it to the script from the controls part of the EZ-Script dialogue so it should have been 100% correct, I honestly don't know if it had quotes or not though.

I'll have another go later with the latest version.

@Niek, like Rich did, I have used Click & Paste from the Controls. I have verified and the quotation marks are present. Moreover, the same script worked well with the 2013.07.03.00 release, so it is a recent issue... Are you using the last version as well ?

@fredebec, I just updated to the latest (2013.08.19.00) and it worked fine.

Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling ARC?

@fredebec I used the latest version and clicked under the ControlCommand tab. It should be fixed in the latest version;)

Ok, I found the problem !

First I tried to reinstall ARC, with no success... So, I tried to create a new project (in spite of creating a new script in my existing project) and then in worked ! At first, I didn't see any difference between the two projects, but there was:

When you create a new project and add the Camera, in the "Media" part of the Camera preferences, there is automatically "www.ez-robot.com" with quotation marks entered in the "Title Text" field (see the screenshot)

But in the previous version of ARC I used, www.ez-robot.com was automatically entered without the quotation marks... and the new version don't like it !

So, I just had to add quotations marks in the Title Text field of my old project, and voilà, everything works again.

Thanks @Niek and @Rich for your help (PS: As it was a quotation marks issue, after all, I think Niek deserves the credit of the "resolved topic" ;) )

Ah, I remember another topic which brought that up now you've mentioned it. I didn't even think to check in there to be honest, now I know for next time it happens (if there is a next time).

@fredebec well that's a sneaky bug! Glad you figured out a solution.
