I see video coming from the camera, but nothing else, and the green light keeps flashing. Also the Kinect in sleep mode, meaning it's tilt down instead of raised up.

Does anyone know what's wrong?

If you see video, then the Kinect is working. Try using the samples that ship with the Kinect Developer toolkit, like Kinect Explorer. The download is available here http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/kinectforwindows/develop/developer-downloads.aspx

The "tilt down" is something you, as a developer can control. Using the Kinect Explorer sample, set the Tilt to 0 and, assuming the Kinect is on a flat table, that should give you the correct angle.

Hi Dan,

The sample code runs perfectly on my computer; however, when exiting the application, an exception happened on line 177 of KinectSkeletonViewer.xaml.cs where the line reads "ColorImagePoint colorPoint = depthFrame.MapToColorImagePoint(depthPoint.X, depthPoint.Y, this.Kinect.ColorStream.Format);".

The warning message is shown as "InvalidOperationException was unhandled
This API has returned an exception from an HRESULT: 0x80070015".

You may want to try the latest release of Kinect (1.5.2) as I think this should be fixed.

Dan, how can I put the depth, color and skeleton view in the same interface?

Check out the Kinect Explorer sample that ships with the Kinect Developer Toolkit as it includes all of the WPF viewers on one Window

@Jon von Gillern: Awesome, nice work!

@terrajobst: LOL, yeah, I wasn't expecting that either

@slaneyrw - For some context, when you submit a video to Channel 9, the video you submit is set as the "High Quality WMV" and the other versions are built off of that encoding, hence the disparity.

@jongalloway: Thanks Jon for the clarification

Woot woot!

Hi Dan..

When i try to run my code, which basically tracks my right hand, and ellipses appear on my shoulder, hand and elbow joints, i get an error like this, while running:

"NullReferenceException was unhandled". , on this line of code:

Skeleton skeleton= (from s in allSkeletons where s.TrackingState == SkeletonTrackingState.Tracked select s).FirstOrDefault(); 

The Bold part on the above line is where the error is highlighted in my code.

Can you help me with this, coz i'm kinda stuck with this for days now..

Thanks in Advance.. 

The reason this is null is because there is *no* skeleton (or null skeleton) when the app first starts up. What you want to do is do nothing if there is no skeleton.

if (skeleton == null)

{ return; }

The samples are now up at http://files.ch9.ms/coding4fun/dev330_samples.zip - thanks!
