It does not install the pngenc codec... I replaced it with dspjpegenc in the script

@ eol thanks for the reply. i already have extra decoder installed. any other ideas?

Hi, I've updated my original post again with new scripts (bracketing.20100418.tar.gz). The script now tests whether pngenc exists first and will fallback to dspjpegenc if it can't find it.

If anyone has technical details on pngenc and knows where to find it, please let us know

For any future issues, please pm (private message) me

This pngenc issue is bugging me I was wondering whether anybody could run these two lines in Xterminal (especially you folks facing problems with pngenc) and PM me/upload the output:

Note: The output for the second command might be quite long, it would be better to put it into a text file and upload it here, rather than copy/pasting it straight.

I can compare which packages are missing from your N900 as compared to mine so that I can zero in on which one contains pngenc.

Feel free to participate.. or not

P.S. I'm sure there's a better way to do this using the SDKs, but I'm not sure what it is yet

hi, i have attached two files with the result i got after running these two lines in xterminal. ill try your new script now

thanks

The script works nice, until the first picture has been taken.
Than, it continuously comes up with
"dsp_thread: failed waiting for events"
and is caught in repeating that error over and over.

The other script from earlier this post gives this error, too, but only once or twice and than continuous to take pictures.

Any ideas?

I've been getting this error when it fallbacks to dspjpegenc . I've attached an updated set of scripts in this post for you to try - Its a really small change in snap-image.sh. Let me know if it works..

[UPDATE] 2010-04-22: I've moved the new script back into my original post at http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...=12#post612127. In the future, all new versions of this script will be uploaded there.

I got the chance yesterday to try out the two scripts..

Here is the pic with your script



Here's the one with mine


The scene is not that good and it was already getting dark

There seems to be something wrong with these scripts. For some reason there is a strong halo in all the images, that doesnt show up if I do the different images with the build in cam app by changing exposure times manually. Someone else noticed this?

These pics look amazing. Are we at a point yet where we can package this with a UI and make it an app, or is this still in early development? Images look great.
