Re: [WIP] cameraplus for Sailfish OS
 

Thanks for your support :)

I will be releasing an update in a short period that works around the images not being shown in gallery. I apologize for the delay.

To be honest, I personally consider video recording and playback to be highly experimental. It also drops frames while recording and I am yet to investigate the reason. In fact the encoders and decoders I am using need to be rewritten :(

Perhaps you could try the video on a desktop and see if it works or not?

0.0.27
- Don't inform tracker about our captured media as it prevents it from indexing the media
- Add ISO 800

Enjoy :)

Hi,

Can I take a photo from terminal? Does this app have a command line interface? That would be awesome!

Thanks

Re: [WIP] cameraplus for Sailfish OS
 

Unfortunately it does not yet. I can add a dbus interface for doing that. The only problem will be shipping the service file as it's not allowed by harbour :(

Re: [WIP] cameraplus for Sailfish OS
 

you can enable dbus without service file for now, and it will be available at least while app is running.

Re: [WIP] cameraplus for Sailfish OS
 

That is doable indeed. I can do an interface like:

QStringList enumerateModes() // We already have image, video, timer and I am working on sequential shots. In the future we will get panorama and ZSL (hopefully).
bool switchMode(const QString& mode);
bool startCapture(bool focus); // focus is ignored if mode does not support it
void stopCapture(); // mainly to stop video recording

and then a signal:
void mediaSaved(const QString& fileName);
void captureCanceled(); // if the user cancels the operation.

Would that work?

Re: [WIP] cameraplus for Sailfish OS
 

0.0.28 available from OpenRepos with this changelog:

- Updated GStreamer to 1.4.0 (No user visible changes)
- Don't ignore the first tap on the capture button after returning from post capture view
- Reworked camera plugin selector
- Added sequential shots mode
- Fixed a rare crash when switching between front and back cameras

Enjoy :)

EDIT: I have removed that release from openrepos. I discovered a serious crash when playing back recorded videos.

EDIT2: I found a workaround for now and uploaded a new RPM. A proper fix will come in a future release but we should be fine for now.

Re: [WIP] cameraplus for Sailfish OS
 

Hi, I've noticed a problem when using both origibal sailfish camera and cameraplus on the device: the sf camera will overwrite the picture files generated by cameraplus. For example if I first take one pic with camera plus, check the image file name from the gallery, then take another pic with sf camera, then go back to gallery and I can see the new picture has replaced the old one with the same file name.

Clearly this is more a problem with the sf cam not checking if it's about to overwrite a existing file than a bug with cameraplus, but I don't know what else to do with this info than report here.

Re: [WIP] cameraplus for Sailfish OS
 

You can report it on http://together.jolla.com

I don't really know how can I workaround that issue in cameraplus (other than changing where I save the images and videos) :(

Re: [WIP] cameraplus for Sailfish OS
 

Thanks, I'll do that. I'll post here when I'm done (likely this evening) so people here can vote for it too.
