Hotbits/Camera Bug on Mac

[keithorange]

Hi there! Wonderful job with this software, I have grokked it and am very interested in both using it, and contributing to it potentially. First time I have seen the concept of Radionics Generator Dowsing applied computationally in a incredibly fast and testable way. However, I am getting a bug on my Macbook Pro with Hotbits generator. (Also great idea with hotbits to get true random numbers).

I have followed the steps outlined at https://radionics.home.blog/aetheonepi/reporting-errors-bugs/ like giving permission in developer tools and making the code adjustment to change camera number. However, still getting the same bugs:

First I launch the program from terminal,

[AetherOnePi-1.3.6] /usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.8 --exec java -jar AetherOnePi-1.3.6.jar

Next I click Show Webcams

Is this to do with Camera Permissions? Or something to do with me missing a library or dependancy? Finally, if you don't have a solution for this, do you know if VirtualBox VMMachine Windows 10 will be a valid solution?

Thank you
