Description

I posted this to the of forum, but since this is a problem with one of the built-in examples, perhaps this is a more appropriate place to ask.

Short version: I'm trying to run one of the examples (meshFromCamera) and I get a runtime error with QTKit:
[ error ] ofQTKitGrabber: selected video device id 0 out of range for number of devices: 0

I'm running OSX 10.10.5 (Yosemite) and Xcode 7.2.1.

Is there any way to run these examples without QTKit? I'm new to OF: can I swap out QTKit for AVF?

Thanks!

Research direction

Start with the meshFromCamera example and the reported ofQTKitGrabber runtime error on OS X 10.10.5 with Xcode 7.2.1. Check whether the example still uses QTKit and how AVF support is exposed; done means the example has a supported capture path or clearly documents that it cannot run on this platform.
