Hi,I’ve recently started using Unity so please forgive my lack of knowledge.
In unity2018.3.7 ,I import SteamVR 2.5.0,but miss two error as follows:
Assets\SteamVR\Scripts\SteamVR_Render.cs(180,40): error CS1061: ‘SteamVR_ExternalCamera’ does not contain a definition for ‘SetupDeviceIndex’ and no accessible extension method ‘SetupDeviceIndex’ accepting a first argument of type ‘SteamVR_ExternalCamera’ could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
Assets\SteamVR\Scripts\SteamVR_Render.cs(207,44): error CS1061: ‘SteamVR_ExternalCamera’ does not contain a definition for ‘SetupPose’ and no accessible extension method ‘SetupPose’ accepting a first argument of type ‘SteamVR_ExternalCamera’ could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
Hope to get everyone’s help！
Thanks!!!

Hi, I also have this problem. I was using a HTC Vive with Unity 2019.2.17f1 and it worked perfectly.
But when I setup the project to work with WMR I get the same issues.
I have the HP VR1000-100nn
Having already imported SteamVR 2.5.0, I :

  • switched platforms to use UWP
  • activated VR support and added WMR to the list
  • installed the XR Input Legacy Helper from the package manager
  • generated and saved the Steam Inputs using the “default” settings
    Then these errors show up:

“Assets\SteamVR\Scripts\SteamVR_Render.cs(180,40): error CS1061: ‘SteamVR_ExternalCamera’ does not contain a definition for ‘SetupDeviceIndex’ and no accessible extension method ‘SetupDeviceIndex’ accepting a first argument of type ‘SteamVR_ExternalCamera’ could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)”
“Assets\SteamVR\Scripts\SteamVR_Render.cs(207,44): error CS1061: ‘SteamVR_ExternalCamera’ does not contain a definition for ‘SetupPose’ and no accessible extension method ‘SetupPose’ accepting a first argument of type ‘SteamVR_ExternalCamera’ could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)”

I tried to restart Unity, my Laptop, and reimporting SteamVR, but nothing changes.

I haven’t found anyone else with this problem yet, such a relief I’m not the only one.

I wrapped calls to both SteamVR_ExternalCamera.SetupPose and SteamVR_ExternalCamera.SetupDeviceIndex with

#if !UNITY_WSA
externalCamera.SetupPose(cameraPose, cameraSource);
#endif

It appears to work correctly. If you look at the implementation of those methods in ExternalCamera source, you will see that the methods are already removed from UNITY_METRO aka UNITY_WSA.
