Enumerating the video capture devices with DirectShow works well in console but does not work with Unity (2018.2.12)
I use Unity 2018.2.12 and DirectShow.Net
I created simple code that enumerates video capture devices. It founds devices but it cannot obtain their FriendlyName property under being running as Unity script.
using DirectShowLib;
using UnityEngine;
namespace DirectShow.Net_Tests
public class CodeForUnity : MonoBehaviour
void Start()
foreach (var device in DsDevice.GetDevicesOfCat(FilterCategory.VideoInputDevice))
Debug.Log(
$"Device Name:tdevice.Namen" +
$"tDevice FriendlyName (Property):tdevice.GetPropBagValue("FriendlyName")n" +
$"tDevice Class GUID:tdevice.ClassIDn");
The same code can obtain FriendlyName property being running as console application.
using System;
using DirectShowLib;
namespace DirectShow.Net_Tests
static class Program
public static void Main(string args)
foreach (var device in DsDevice.GetDevicesOfCat(FilterCategory.VideoInputDevice))
Console.WriteLine(
$"Device Name:tdevice.Namen" +
$"tDevice FriendlyName (Property):tdevice.GetPropBagValue("FriendlyName")n" +
$"tDevice Class GUID:tdevice.ClassIDn");
Why does not it work in Unity?

Maybe you have a problem with Debug.Log

@VuVirt This function outputs a string to the console in Unity. What could be the problem?
