[jit.qt.grab] unique can name

outoff's icon

hi list !
just found that message "uniqueid" taken from reference won't work(6.1.10),
Max window says "doesn't understand"
can anyone confirm the same or maybe anyone has odd old setup to confirm same on it(4.6??).

I am working on patch with several cameras where is very important to know where is exact cam is
and I won't mess with marking usb ports, any cam should be possible to be plugged in any port.

Any tips are welcome and appreciated.

launch Max 7 in 32 bit mode, and create a [ jit.grab @engine qt @usealtgrab 0 ] to access deprecated quicktime grabber features, such as uniqueid.

Hi Rob, thank you, I'll take a look !
Right now I've got serial numbers from cameras using Shell and still working on logic flow with them ;)
