Controlling camera settings

Question

I am attempting to adjust camera settings such as exposure and white balance with the FMJ library in Java. I can create a player dynamically:

new net.sf.fmj.media.cdp.civil.CaptureDevicePlugger().addCaptureDevices();

final java.util.Vector vectorDevices = CaptureDeviceManager.getDeviceList(null);
Player player = null;
CaptureDeviceInfo cdi = ((CaptureDeviceInfo) vectorDevices.get(2));  // For simplicity now

try {
    player = Manager.createPlayer(cdi.getLocator());
    player.start();
} catch (NoPlayerException | IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

So then I need to get the Controls of the Player to change the camera settings:

Control[] ctrls = player.getControls();

However, this is only returning a RateControl, when I need a FrameGrabbingControl to grab individual frames and (I'm assuming) FormatControl to change the camera settings (source).

If these are not returned by getControls(), am I doomed? I get the same results for these cameras: Microsoft Lifecam Studio and the built-in Lenovo EasyCam

Same thing with a Logitech C300 – vlad417 Jul 15 '13 at 17:11 — vlad417, Jul 15 '13 at 17:11
No luck, going through Directshow and JNI – vlad417 Aug 07 '13 at 13:31 — vlad417, Aug 07 '13 at 13:31
