OrbbecSDK.log constantly growing

Hi,

I’m using an Orbbec Femto Bolt camera, and I’ve noticed that the log file OrbbecSDK.log is constantly increasing in size (around 0.5 MB per minute). This happens even in an empty project, simply by having an Orbbec TOP with default parameters. It seems to be caused by a continuously printed debug message:

[02/04 16:04:20.090609][debug][8308][WinHelpers.cpp:88] hr = spSample->GetUnknown(MFSampleExtension_CaptureMetadata, IID_PPV_ARGS(&spUnknown)) returned: HResult 0xc00d36e6: “The requested attribute was not found.”

This behavior makes it unsafe for a continuously running installation.
Is there a way to disable these log messages? Find attached useful info alng the log file:

Thanks for the report. It sounds like the Orbbec TOP may be doing something that your Bolt camera doesn’t support and we will take a look into that.

In the meantime, you can disable Orbbec logging using their configuration file. The most recent one is available in the SDK package from their website, but I’ve attached a copy here that should work as well. It needs to be placed alongside your project toe file and Orbbec should load it automatically when TouchDesigner starts.

There is a line in that file labeled ‘FileLogLevel’ that deafults to 0 (full debug logging), but I’ve changed to 5 in this copy to turn off file logging completely.

Hope that helps and we’ll take a look into the root cause of that error message.
