1. It works well through ‘Processing Tool’.

2. However, ‘application export’ (ex. exe file) / does not work.

Any reason?

> surface.setTitle(“3”);  
> int tries = 0; int limit = 3;  
> while(tries \< limit){  
> try {  
> surface.setTitle(“4-1”);  
> delay(100); cam = new Capture(this, “pipeline:autovideosrc”); delay(100);  
> delay(100); cam.start();
> 
> ```
> } catch(Exception e){
> tries++;
> e.printStackTrace();
> continue;
> } 
> surface.setTitle("4-"+str(tries+1));
> break;
> 
> ```

why  
If I export it as an exe, will it not work?

cam = new Capture(this, “pipeline:autovideosrc”);  
It freezes when I use the ‘Capture’ function above.

1. Execute with ‘processing tool’: It works well.
2. Execute with ‘exe, export’: Does not work.

Do you know why? help.
