XWebcam.CameraExtension is using 9GB of memory during use

I'm using my X-S10 as a webcam using the latest version of XWebcam, on an M1 Macbook pro, recently updated to Sonoma 14.4.1. I've done the additional steps to enable external cameras here (system-override legacy-camera-plugins-without-sw-camera-indication=off) and have downloaded the latest version of XWebcam with the additional extension to enable my mac to connect to the XS-10 which it does successfully now, albeit inconsistently and with crashes. I've noticed that the 'com.fujifilm.xwebcam.CameraExtension' will sometimes hang and cause the camera to not be found and will need to be rebooted in order for my applications to find my camera again. Additionally, after successfully using xwebcam for a teams call, the memory footprint of the com.fujifilm.xwebcam.CameraExtension process blows up to 9GB which seems absurd. Looking for any guidance or updates to the camera extension for making this actually work in a usable way.

Same experience, 

since the upgrade of FUJIFILM X Webcam 2 app it consumes memory and then crashes. I used it with Xt3 for years and was stable enough but after recent upgrades it is unreliable and lasts up to 10-15 min, then memory footprint of the com.fujifilm.xwebcam.CameraExtension process blows up to 10GB or more GB and freezes.

It is terrible experience given that many of us have our worflow already set in stone and now we need to look for new solution. 

cheers

I'm having the same issue. The extension is having a major memory leak. During calls, the usage goes up to as much as 30GB after which my system goes unresponsive. I have to force quite the extension, to be able to use the camera in calls again. Having to do this during every call is becoming quite annoying. Hoping Fuji is reading along and planning a patch for the leak. Using an X100V on macOS Sequoia, M1 Pro, running Webcam version 2.2.0.

      LUT doesn't works on resolve

      By Don Barar · Posted

      Here is the solution to using the Eterna 55 file simulation LUTs in Davinci Resolve.   In general, do not use the FLog2C to film simulation LUTs as they are not supported by Davinci Resolve for two reasons: 1) Davinci Resolve does not support Fuji Gamut Color Space and 2) Davinci Resolve does not support FLog2C gamma.  Instead, use Flog2 which is supported by Davinci Resolve.  Here is an example.  Let's say that you want to use Classic Chrome simulation.  Do the following: Complete your color grade and use a CST to get to Rec 709. Add a node.  Use a CST to convert from Rec 709 to FLog2.  Output Color space is Rec 2020 and Outout Gamut is FLog2. Add a node.  Apply the FLog2 to Classic Chrome LUT Create a combination node from node in steps 2 and 3. Apply a Key to the combination node and adjust the Key Output Gain to get the amount of the combination node that you want applied. So that you do not have to do this over and over again, generate a LUT for the combination node.  Remember to turn off all other nodes before generating the LUT. Hope this helps others. Don

      Thanks for the insights. I think it's really hard to make a decision without having the two side by side!

      I don’t have the 23 f2 but I have read several times that it is considered a little soft at close distance, compared to the 23 f1.4 lenses. These will also focus at shorter distance from the subject, esp. the new one. So that might make a difference. The new 23 f1.4 LM WR  has better resolution, esp. in regard to the 40Mpix sensors, which you don’t have on the X-T2. What practical difference that makes for the value of the pictures one makes is disputable and subjective.  f1.4 will gather more light but with a smaller DOF, which may be desirable in some situations but not so in others, depends. If you like to shoot close ups, you will probably use higher f numbers to get a bigger DOF. Same for landscapes. If you are a bokeh fan, yes the f1.4 lens are better.  The older 23 f1.4 lens that you are considering is a very good and respected lens. The f1.4 vs f2 aperture per se is perhaps not so important. The 23 f2 is very small, light and practical and a great lens for travel and landscapes. So, go figure. I am afraid I just sent you further down the road to insanity !

      First post here but long time fuji shorter. I use the XT2 with the 23mm f2 / 35mm 1.4 / 16-80mm f4 I'm considering the 23mm f1.4 r (Non-WR) About me: - I shoot black and white only. - I like macro details to wide open landscapes and everything in-between. - I shoot mostly for art, intrigue and creativity of the image. My question - is the 23mm f1.4 going to offer me any meaningful difference over the f2 for the above scenarios Thanks and sorry for bringing it up again...
