Home / Other I-Appliances / Virgin Webplayer Digital Camera USB connection

Digital Camera USB connection (modified 0 times) Greenspark Profile Has anyone had any luck using a digital camera with the WP's USB ports? It doesn't want to work, keeps giving errors, etc. Note that a D-link USB network connector works fine, but the camera doesn't even without the network connector hooked up. 06-05-2001 19:10:31

RE:Digital Camera USB connection (modified 0 times) Greenspark Profile Forgot to mention... I mean transferring files from a digital photography camera, not one of those desktop USB cameras. 06-06-2001 05:03:38

RE:Digital Camera USB connection (modified 0 times) BubbaDog56 Profile Greenspark, I just got an Agfa CL20, nothing fancy but does what I need. I wanted to use my WP for previewing the pictures since the camera doesn't have a preview screen, just LCD status. Loaded the software and connected the camera, nothing but problems. Doesn't see the camera half the time, bogus communications (tells me the camera has 6371 pictures in it!!), can't get it to download anything but the thumbnails after repeated attempts. Based on all the threads I searched and read yesterday regarding the crapola USB capability of this thing, I can't see any good reason to keep it anymore. Well, off to the 'Swap Meet' posting area and move it on out.... B'Dog 06-06-2001 07:46:38

RE:Digital Camera USB connection (modified 0 times) Greenspark Profile Thing is, the network USB works fine, the Zip drive USB works fine, and this thing doesn't. I'm running the camera on batteries but I'm going to attempt to find my multivolt wall wart and set this thing up and see if that changes anything... 06-06-2001 08:24:26

RE:Digital Camera USB connection (modified 0 times) Greenspark Profile ...or not. My adapter puts out 300mA, this thing requires 2000mA. Did I neglect to mention the camera (with batteries) works fine with the iopener's USB port? Hacked a serial port into this thing and everything, hoping to use it with my palm pilot as well. Maybe I'll put a serial into my iopener and sell this. Maybe I'll sell the ethernet WP I have too... 06-06-2001 08:59:27

RE:Digital Camera USB connection (modified 0 times) 1nonly Profile I am lucky, I think. My WP's USB port works fine with my Canon S20. I am able to download picture from my Canon S20 to the WP using its USB port. It hung sometime when I try to change the CF memory card while connected. I have problem with the Link-sys usb network device, it lost connection after afew seconds of transferring data. Transfer a few MB of data is fine, so I am able to use the WP to off load the picture from my Canon S20 on the trip/hotel. I just installed the Canon software that came with the camera and did not do anything special at all. 06-06-2001 09:55:20

RE:Digital Camera USB connection (modified 0 times) Greenspark Profile Well, I got a power adapter for the camera to make sure that wasn't it. Still doesn't work on WP, fine on IO. 06-06-2001 11:31:57

RE:Digital Camera USB connection (modified 0 times) Lucubrate Profile I don't have any experience with USB on the webplayer. But I wonder, how are you running, off the DOC or a harddrive? 06-06-2001 17:06:32

RE:Digital Camera USB connection (modified 0 times) Greenspark Profile Harddrive. No sense in downloading to the DOC as I have more space on my flash card (64MB) than the doc itself... I'm going to use the io for this purpose and ponder what to do with the WP... 06-06-2001 18:12:05

RE:Digital Camera USB connection (modified 0 times) Lucubrate Profile Ah ok, I guess I misworded that. I was really thinking to ask if it was a 'lite' version of Windows or a normal install. I realize that loading pictures onto the DOC would be a questionable thing to do :) But you could still be running of the DOC with say win98lite and using a shared drive somewhere on your network for storage. I wish I could type what I mean the first time :) 06-07-2001 17:53:50
