Basler ace cameras do not appear to  initialize in Kinovea 8.27. I am using Basler Pylon 5.0.12. Cameras worked perfectly in Kinovea 8.26. Uninstalled Pylon 5.0.12 and installed Pylon 5.0.5. Unfortunately, no luck. Will have to go back to Kinovea 8.26 for now.

I'll double check with the newest Pylon to see if that could be the issue. I had initially tested 0.8.27 with a Basler camera and knows at least one other person for whom it worked. So it might be context specific. (Version I currently have on my machine is 5.1.0.12681).

Can you double check that you have the Basler runtime in your Path variable?
During installation make sure the option pylon C .NET Runtime is checked, under pylon Runtime option group. You may have to use the "Custom" install profile to be able to select that option.

edit: I realized you are using Pylon 5.0.x. Kinovea has to be built against a specific version of Pylon as they change their API. So please install Pylon 5.1.x if possible, and see if it works with 0.8.27.

Absolutely Brilliant! Installed Pylon 5.1.0 with .net runtime  and both Ace cameras initialized perfectly in Kinovea 8.27. My apologies for not checking with Basler for most current drivers before posting. BTW, thank you so much for your dedication to this project. You and your team are amazing!

And just today they released Pylon 5.2.0. Release notes: https://www.baslerweb.com/fp-1551786538 … otes~1.txt

It's not binary compatible with previous builds so Kinovea users should not update yet.

Applications built with earlier versions of pylon are incompatible with pylon 5.2.0.
