Re: [Announce] Front Camera N9 (video+)
 

I actually think that devs do merit some feedback on their great work, possibly with money, but I admit I was kind of disappointed when coming from the N900 to the N9 and its store full of non-free applications. I mean, it's like a Maemo 6, and one of the strengths of Maemo 5 was that it was supported by a community thinking as in an open source world, with free apps and "Donate" buttons for those willing to fund projects or cheer devs. All seems so much more closed with the N9, I feel like browsing the Apple Store or something from Android, just with fewer applications (which also means fewer crappy and useless fart applications).

But that is off-topic, Front Camera N9 actually looks pretty cool and I will probably not buy it as it would be gadget for me, but it looks very neat. Great work.

[Edit] Nevertheless, I know that paid apps are more stimulating for devs to spend time on the N9 than free apps with, maybe, some donations. Paid apps have probably they pros, namely assisting in gathering devs to build an ecosystem, I just think they also have their cons (fewer community projects, less code to share between devs as there is less open source code, and so on). Difficult to disentangle them.

Now this guy really makes sense.....

Re: [Announce] Front Camera N9 (video+)
 

cool app. For some reason, I cant download the front camera app. Good thing I successfully downloaded this :)

Is there a possibility that this app will have a camera focus?

Re: [Announce] Front Camera N9 (video+)
 

Seems no, front camera doesn't support any such settings. I'm thinking about to add digital zoom in next version. Not sure if anyone will find this useful, but seems 'digital zoom' is the only configurable setting for front camera

Re: [Announce] Front Camera N9 (video+)
 

Yes, I think digital zoom will be useful in mirror mode. You can zoom in to see if you have something stuck in your teeth and freeze it by taking a snapshot. Please do it mnosov.

Re: [Announce] Front Camera N9 (video+)
 

Hi mnosov,

When I take photos its ok but the video option is not working, I tried to use it but it wouldn't record anything, no matter how I press the record button. Then if I switch back to the photo option and try to capture a photo, all the settings disappears.

I tried to search if there where any videos recorded and found it under /MyDocs/Movies/Camera but all the files are unplayable.

Need your help... Thanks!

Re: [Announce] Front Camera N9 (video+)
 

Hi! Thanks for feedback. Unfortunately, now I don't have an idea why it doens't record a video. On all devices that I have - video recording works perfectly. Can you try:
- Copy recorded video files to PC and try to play them on PC
- Check if there is no camera, audio, video applications running in background (such applications may acquire camera resources with high priority)

Another option is that I can prepare debug build specially for your device. This app will have the same functionality, but will collect logs to MyDocs folder. If this is ok for you to try this app on your device - please send me IMEI of your device (*#06#) to Michael.Nosov@gmail.com and I'd be glad to prepare debug build for you

Best regards,
Michael

Dio you have a N9 ? ;)

Re: [Announce] Front Camera N9 (video+)
 

-transferred the file and was opened up by the PC as a photo.
-nope there are no other apps open when I use the FCN9V+app.

just emailed you my IMEI, hopefully the debug build will be able to help to record whats happening.

Thanks.
