I'm running on a pi4 and I'd be happy to try out some of this stuff if that helps. If you've got docs you could send them to me (myusername at myusername dot org) and I'll take a look. I think I remember reading that they did take away a bunch of hardware accelerated stuff with the pi4. Seemed silly to me.

I'll have to switch back to the new version and it's late now, I'll give it a go tomorrow and report back. Thanks again.

if you on linux run a program with no stdin, then the stderr socket can get a fd id not being 2 Oooooooooh! This is super interesting! I didn't know this was the case - I've only ever heard of the standard file descriptors you've mentioned - stdin=0, stdout=1, stderr=2. I knew it was possible to have other file descriptors but I didn't know it was possible for these to change. That seems like an unnecessary annoyance. That makes perfect sense. And I can understand why you'd just say "you need to...

That's interesting learning about the setup you ran for the rocket launching stuff. I saw that demo video and was pretty interested/excited - I'm a bit of a space nerd and rockets are cool. yep, my gui-less system has been running great for over 2 years now. The pi pulls in feeds from 8 camera sources and muxes them together into a nice 1080p security camera feed. Then I have some ancillary bash scripts to do things like switch a couple of the virtual feeds between several cameras. The whole thing...

I've been slowly investigating the state of GUI toolkits. And as a python guy tk is high on my list of candidates. It's not the prettiest or most modern, but that's a good thing! modern tends to mean "disinterested in backwards compatibility and will make you rewrite your gui every few years" (Hi there gtk!). I'm not really a C/C++ guy so I probably can't help you out with that problem. sorry. But it does seem like it should be doable - have some image control which looks at a particular memory location...

That sounds like a workable option. This is a new thing in 0.5.2.x right? The same setup works just fine with 0.5.1. It's actually running in a screen session for easy debugging, so it does have stdout and stderr, just maybe not stdin. The invocation isn't straightforward at all. I'll give the ca t | snowmix trick a try when I get back to it. Thanks! Should it be fixed? .... Why? Why? Well... it seems a bit weird to have to pipe something into it to run it as a daemon. Snowmix is definitely the type...

thanks for confirming!
-
Yeah that's what I thought, I grepped for gnome-terminal and could only find it in the demo script. It's just the default raspberry pi debian, but I've stripped it back and customised a lot. It doesn't run X, or any windowing system. Thanks for the quick responses, I appreciate it! :)
-
haha okay. I wasn't sure what the gstreamer support was, so I figured 🤷 enable it! All good, I don't plan on going sleuthing for it yet.

(sorry about the dupes, the sourceforge ui is unfamiliar to me, please use the not-anonymous threads. You can delete these anonymous ones)
-
haha okay. Please god don't go with a web based thing. Tk is so much better.
-
No problem, no rush on any of the stuff I've posted today, I've just reverted back to 0.5.1 for the time being and it's working fine. Are there docs for the new python stuff? I'd like to play with it. I have several ideas for things I'd like to do.

Hi, trying to compile with ./configure --prefix=/usr/ --enable-snowmixpython --enable-snowmixserver --enable-snowmixgstreamer --enable-snowmixgui gives me: maingui.cpp: In function ‘int main(int, char**)’: maingui.cpp:368:66: error: ‘MAX_VIDEO_FEEDS’ was not declared in this scope 368 | pVideoMixer->m_pVideoFeed = new CVideoFeeds(pVideoMixer, MAX_VIDEO_FEEDS); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ maingui.cpp:368:81: error: invalid use of incomplete type ‘class CVideoFeeds’ 368 | pVideoMixer->m_pVideoFeed = new CVideoFeeds(pVideoMixer,...

Hello, I've successfully compiled 0.5.2.1 on debian with these args: ./configure --prefix=/usr/ --enable-snowmixpython --enable-snowmixserver --enable-snowmixgstreamer When trying to run it, I get: WARNING. Creating a socket returned fd 0. This means that stdin was closed upon startup. Bailing out. This is running as a systemd unit, where there shouldn't be any stdin. I don't understand why snowmix is suddenly expecting an stdin? What have I done wrong? Thanks!
-
Sorry to spam the thread but I have another note: I also had to install the package libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev on debian. I'm building with gstreamer support so I expect that's why.
-
just another note, I'm actually not running a windowing system on the machine in question, so even xterm seems like an unnecessary requirement. Though I'm not opposed to installing it like I am with gnome-terminal. I couldn't find anywhere in the code where gnome-terminal is referenced except demo scripts, so I removed gnome-terminal from the list of required packages in bootstrap-debian and the size of packages I need to install went from over 50MB down to 10MB.

Hi Peter, I've finally gotten around to trying to compile the new version. It's telling me that gnome-terminal is a required package? why does it need gnome-terminal? Why gnome-terminal and not something more universal and lightweight like xterm? I'm not using gnome and I expect installing gnome-terminal will also pull in a bunch of gnome dependencies that I do not want.

Hi Peter, I'm a python guy and I'd love to be able to use python with snowmix. Please hit me up!
-
Thanks Peter It was a while ago but I did try pretty hard to get in touch with you. I remember I sent you a message on linkedin. If you're replying on here then I suppose that's enough. I don't have the details for the improvements I made at hand right now, and I'll need to take a look at the new version and work up a patch. I'll just open a new ticket on here. Thanks
-
Awesome! i'll be very interested to check out the new version and features. But you didn't answer one of my questions about how to get access to a repo with e.g git history? I don't see any way to access such a thing. How should I contribute fixes to snowmix?

Hello Mark, Firstly I'd like to send a very big and sincere thank you for creating and maintaining Open Camera. I have been using it as my primary camera app for a very long time now (at least 8 years!) and I can say that it is a most excellent piece of software: Very reliable and flexible, and I have enjoyed seeing new features added to it over the years. It's light-years ahead of any other open source camera app I've seen. Thank you so much! I'm writing today because I have a feature that I'd really...
-
Hello, Thanks for snowmix. It's really great! I'm using it to mix realtime video from multiple security cameras onto a monitor. I find the use of a simple tcp server and nc to send it commands to be super flexible and useful - great design, and your bash scripts and examples have been excellent resources for hacking together my own solution. I wanted to have a custom idle images, but I wasn't able to make The Gimp's "raw export" feature write out the raw images in the correct BGRA byte order, so...

I hacked these characters into the font using fontforge, but I didn't do bold or italic, and I don't know fontforge well enough to know how to submit a patch. The modified ttf and woff files are available at: https://antisol.org/Junicode-tolkien.ttf and https://antisol.org/Junicode-tolkien.woff Feel free to incorporate these glyphs or to give me some tips on how I can export them to a more useful format for you :)

Support for 16F1 - 16F3 (Tolkien characters added in unicode v7)
-
Thanks for the info. I have no clue whether my device has that or not. I guess not. Perhaps it might be useful to add an override feature to allow people like me to enable it with the understanding that it may not work? I'd be happy to come back here and give feedback :)
-
Hi. I've been using open camera for ages - it's the best. I'm excited for the new panorama feature but I don't see the options anywhere. I suspect my device isn't supported. Can somebody please tell me a) where the interface for doing panoramas is and b) what devices are/aren't supported? Thanks!
