I know the following should produce random noise also but it doesn't start.

Virtual cam shows up in Zoom, but shows random snow/noise.

The virtual camera won't include a default picture, from now on you must set it with, for example, AkVCamManager set-picture some_picture.png.
For the other part, I've added more error messages, also maybe you forgot to apply the changes with AkVCamManager update.

Ok thanks. Yes, AkVCamManager update allowed me to set the picture. Other than than I don't know what I did but I kept messing with it and the whole Webcamoid/AkVCam combination works now.

The vcam should be working fine now.
