I execute chdktp and click in "connect". So, the message "error: no devices available".
You get this when the libusb driver is not installed
for your camera. You need to install it for every camera(model) you'd like to use on the PC.
The install procedure on XP is like this, assuming you are using the unpacked "libusb-win32-bin-1.2.6.0.zip" from the sourceforge site:
- start libusb-win32-bin-1.2.6.0\bin\inf-wizard.exe
- do as it says (before clicking "Next" make sure that your device is connected to the system)
"connected" means the camera is connected on USB and is switched on in play mode. Close any windows that pop up (wizard or whatever).
- click "next"
- select the camera from the list, click "next"
- you can rename your "device" in the "Device Name" field, then click "next"
- save the config (and the customized driver files) in a separate directory (create one if needed)
- click "install now"
- after you get the confirmation message, switch off then switch on the camera
- the usual Windows wizard will no longer appear
- start chdkptp and connect
On Win7, you will get the usual UAC screen a few times, I guess.
