The sugested to make a brainstorm post for this idea .

the content of the main idea :

I did search the forum but i did not find any application like this.

I would like to record my daily drive to work with the N900 .
That works with the normal N900 app. I Would realy like that the GPS speed would be included in the movie and/or shown when recording .

Is this possible to make an app for that, or does the cam only work with software of the N900?

I realy would like to hear it from you guy's .

Kind regards

HI.
Does anyone have a sample of how to add text to gstreamer video from c/c++ or Python, and update that text live as it changes?

I've read a bit about gstreamer but obviously not enough :-)

A little late but hopefully it may still help you. The following script I wrote is for the n900.

$1 - IP address to stream video to
$2 - port
$3 - which camera to grab
0- back camera
1 - front camera
$4 - what text you want


gst-launch v4l2src device=/dev/video$3 ! videoscale! video/x-raw-yuv,width=320,height=240 ! ffmpegcolorspace ! cairotextoverlay text="$4" ! jpegenc ! multipartmux ! tcpserversink host=$1 port=$2

... and of course the receiving script of the video stream

gst-launch tcpclientsrc host=$1 port=$2 ! multipartdemux ! jpegdec ! autovideosink
