ManyCam 2.6.65 is now available for download. This new update allows ManyCam users to resize their picture in picture video to larger and smaller sizes.
Thanks to ManyCam fans who have emailed us we have also fixed some minor bugs and improved ManyCam’s performance. Thanks for using ManyCam and we hope you have Happy Holidays!
it still will crash at boot up it never really completely boots up it will show just the frame and out line of all the boxes in the window and thats it no buttons no way to use it for your video camera
why cant we loop a single video in the movie section like the older version?
Elijah,
Can you email our helpdesk with some screenshots? They’ll then ask if you’ll email us some logs to help us solve your problem. We’d really appreciate it.
Why?,
You should still be able to loop single movies as usual. Thanks.
I have not gotten my reply yet…. i had a problem in ManyCam installation… i cannot run it because there is an error message ” Initialization Error”… what can i do?
it doesnt loop the same video over and over when you have more than one video in the movie section. it just goes back to the bargaining to the first video.
I already asked this once. I’m having the same problem as why, videos are not looping.
We plan to change how looping works in the next release.
hey there always were somebody who wanted to loop all movies in a playlist and others wanted to loop single video so dont complain about this issue
just hoping the next release will suggest more convienent loop as admin told us
Why doesn’t the new version of manycam support MP4 files anymore? Past versions have been able to play many different video formats. Now I have to re-encode all my video files just to use them for manycam.
SYN u can play mp4 maybe u need to install the right codecs. trye out the k-lite mega codec pack and play with decoding mp4 in “ffdshow video decoder configuration”.
And developers please fix that that loop problem im so tired of using the old 2.4 version that craches all the time. Cant u just make a quick fixes this problem. You had it working before so how hard can it be to fix it….
The “resent played” is not a playlist thats what the playlist tab is for why else have??
Hey I use this for mac, The program its self works fine.. I use it on omegle, It’s recently stopped working.. it doesn’t come up on the list of cams to choose, on omegle or any website.. it works with photobooth though.. can you help out?
Due to changes on loop working, i need to reinstall older version (2.4.69). Where can i get it? Thx
Getting the “Initialization error” crash whenever I launch ManyCam.
Have submitted the bug report using the form generated by the prog at the time of the crash but have heard nothing and have been unable to use cam since before the holidays.
Will I have to go back and find an only 2.4 version is is there a fix for whatever is going wrong?
cool software, thanks. Amuses my 9 year old.
Non technical question. When I am using background effect, I frequently get a request for a new snapshot. I’m green-screening out the usual clutter you’d associate with an office or basement. Is there a place where people share tips on keeping the effects stable? I was wondering if I put up a screen or changed the lighting some-way if I could get a better experience.
I am also curious as to if this is a hobby/company/blend of the two. Feel free to email me if you want to answer.
Again, thanks for the tool.
I’m very aggravated with manycam, I love the software and I use it everytime when I’m on webcam.. but WHY DOES MY SNAPSHOTS ALWAYS GETS ERASED? Seriously.. I take snapshots quite alot, and for them to get erased on every shutdown I do on my comp, urks me.
Can’t really use manycam for everything, and ofcourse I save some snapshots, but not all of them. I had like 3 week old snapshots, with important events.. now its all gone.
and I can’t find any folder, that programs should have with data/cache of your snapshots.
I have installed the latest version on a windows 7 machine. when I go to select sources and movies and select a movie file…manycam just crashes.
would it be possible for manycam to stream videos in at least 360p? i streamed a 720p movie and a anime on tinychat and the quality is crap. the subtitles are unreadable.
I have latest version installed on windows 7 machine. everything else seems to work but when I go and select sources and movies and select a movie file…manycam just freezes up.
when i play a video, it stops after a few seconds and it says file can not be opened
what is the problem?
when I select a movie file as the source, the program just hangs and does nothing. i have to close it down with the task manager. what’s happening?
I bought a new Microsoft LifeCam Studio installed ManyCam but I have always the same error: “Can’t connect to video source. Please check another video capture device.” Webcam working right with all messengers but I need use ManyCam for broadcast… Please someone can help me to fix the problem? Thanks
Please someone tell me can I use manycam to send my webcam to multiple users on msn messenger at the same time??
If so then how..
Please help..

My ManyCam was unable to initializing…..someone help me
Hello friends,
great player it works fine and fast.
I have an couple propositions
1. Dynamically changing the avatars by timer
2. Dynamically text in small fonts
3. MP4 not ever works fine
Thank you guys for this great tool:)
Is there a way to get your video feed to be a picture-in-picture function? Like you’re chatting on google hangouts and have your video within a picture? If not, can we expect this update or at least this feature for Mac OSX soon?
Love ManyCam !!!!
Can you add custom resolution in the future ? I mean custom forced size where we can choose the resolution we want.
Or at least more resolutions that stretch the image vertically a bit, to make the image look thinner/slimmer/longer ?
Thank you !
I have downloaded, installed, rebooted, and ran ManyCam 2.6.0.65 on my computer for the first time and I get an “Initialization Error”. I have opened up ManyCam in a debugger to step through the code and track down the bug. The error happens when ManyCam attempts to Load the ManyCam Logo using the CxImage library (ManyCam\Data\effect_data\logo\logo.png). In short, I think the CxImage library thinks that the image is a BMP instead of PNG and tries to read it as that. I am not sure why this happens, but I will try to briefly break it down.
First, this is called from ximaenc.cpp:
CxImage::CxImage(const TCHAR * filename, DWORD imagetype)
{
Startup(imagetype);
Load(filename,imagetype);
}
Example of its usage in ManyCam code: CxImage LogoImage(L”…\\ManyCam\\Data\\effect_data\\logo\\logo.png”, CXIMAGE_FORMAT_UNKNOWN);
Following where the error occurs, we enter the Load function in ximaenc.cpp:
bool CxImage::Load(const TCHAR * filename, DWORD imagetype);
Then we follow the code in the Decode function (inside Load):
bOK = Decode(hFile,CXIMAGE_FORMAT_UNKNOWN);
There are several Decode functions, but this is the one that gets called:
bool CxImage::Decode(FILE *hFile, DWORD imagetype)
{
CxIOFile file(hFile);
return Decode(&file,imagetype);
}
Inside that next Decode function call is where the exception occurs. I have sent the detailed bug report via helpdesk email and also through the crash report dialog in ManyCam.
I’m having problems with outgoing sound on movies. No idea where to start. Any suggestions?
Great product.
Only one issue.
How set up to use 16:9.
I have two cams (MSFT Life Cam Studio) connected and can view them in Lync, Movie Maker and other software.
But no 16:9 resolution. It’s allways cropped to 4:3 and in smaller resolution than the source. Force resolution don’t work either.
when will there another update for both windows and mac ?
