Kinect 1414 initializeDevice() not possible

[WilyWildWilly]

Hello,

I have a Kinect model 1414, adapted to usb and with the right power supply (I see it in lsusb and its video output in Cheese), but following the examples from Mr. Shiffman I get the following error message when employing the initDevice function on a Kinect-class object: "the function initDevice() does not exist". It looks OK for objects of class Kinect2, but if I try to use this class with my kinect 1414 the processing3 process crashes.

So I ended up not using the initDevice() function, my code looks like this:

import org.openkinect.freenect.*;
import org.openkinect.processing.*;

Kinect kinect;

void setup() {
  fullScreen();
  kinect = new Kinect(this);
  
  kinect.initDepth();
 // kinect.initDevice();
}

void draw() {
 background(10); 
}

but when I run it, I obviously have nothing coming from the uninitialized kinect, and read this in my console:

Found path: /home/gcg/sketchbook/libraries/openkinect_processing/library/v1/linux/
