Every time that I want to connect my camera SharpCap (4.1) crashes.

Here is a transcript of the log:

Hi,

sadly that log doesn't actually show any information about you opening the camera - it looks like you started SharpCap and then once it started you went straight to show the log without trying to open the camera. That means that the log just shows the startup process.

One thing I can see from the log is that SharpCap warns you that the default capture folder doesn't exist, but it looks like you ask it to continue using that folder. Trying to capture anything with a missing capture folder is likely to cause problems further down the line, so it is best to resolve this problem.

I can see that the camera is detected both directly by SharpCap as a QHY camera and also via its ASCOM driver - do both options cause a crash or just one of them?

cheers,

Robin

Hi, I hope this log contains information about the reason of the Srash when connecting the camera,

In case you need the file log instead of copy and paste.

Hi,

thanks for taking the time to post the log - unfortunately it cuts off in the middle of opening the camera with no error recorded in the log. That probably means that the SharpCap application is being crashed by the SDK code that is doing the talking to the camera - that can cause this sort of instant crash with no information recorded in the log and no crash report prompt.

The next step to debug the problem you are seeing would be to use a tool called 'procdump' from Microsoft to try to capture a crash dump when SharpCap crashes and then send that crash dump to me. I could then analyse it and find out a bit more about the cause of the crash, although I strongly suspect that the result of that analysis will be 'crash in the QHY SDK' with nothing I can do on my side to fix it. If you do want to try that approach then there are instructions on how to do it here : viewtopic.php?p=39396#p39396

Otherwise, a possibly more productive approach would be to try different (older) versions of SharpCap which will contain different versions of the QHY SDK - perhaps an older version didn't cause this crashing issue with the SSAG. It might be worth trying initially SharpCap 4.0 and 4.1 - if you can find a working version then you can step forward through newer versions until you find one that breaks (look in the change log for comments mentioning an updated SDK from QHY to find versions worth trying). It would also be worth checking that you have the latest QHY driver (just in case that makes a difference). Finally you could try the ASCOM driver to see if that works.

cheers,

Robin

Excellent suggestion, It worked on version 4.0. Here is the log. I hope this can give you a clue on what the problem is on version 4.1.

I opened SharpCap 4.0. connected to the camera SSAGPro
Tested the camera to work fine
Disconnected the camera
Closed the program

Hi,

glad to hear that going back to the older version got things working for you. Unfortunately the old version log doesn't really help us work out why the new version didn't work. It's still very likely that this is a QHY SDK issue, so whatever is going wrong is happening inside the QHY code that supports the camera where I can't tell what is happening or what is causing it.

I see that QHY do have an updated version that is newer than the one SharpCap currently uses, so I will try including the updated version for the next update and we can see if that helps. Otherwise you could potentially try taking the QHYSDK.dll from the SharpCap 4.0 install folder and copying it over the one in the 4.1 install folder - that might help, but would probably mean that SharpCap 4.1 would no longer work properly with recent models of QHY cameras.

cheers,

Robin

I can not find the file QHYSDK.dll, the only file similar to that one is qhyccd.dll

Is that one?

Anyway, I copied this file into the version 4.1 and it worked!!! I was able to now use my camera on version 4.1

Then the problem is with the driver on version (qhyccd.dll) for SharpCap 4.1

Thank you for your help!!!

Hi,

yes, you are right - it is qhyccd.dll, not qhysdk.dll - my mistake

Glad that copying the file worked - note that if you update SharpCap 4.1 then the update will copy the new version back, so you will then need to repeat the process of copying the file from SharpCap 4.0 into SharpCap 4.1

cheers,

Robin
