Hi everybody I'm Alex Fiestas (afiestas), I'm developing together with Aleix Pol (apol) a cheese/photobooth like application for KDE. As some of you may know, we're using avdevice (part of libkopete) to capture video data. It was perfect to do the first steps of the project, get data, save it etc, and right now, we can do it quite well (http://gitorious...). The avdevice, is a great library, which solve to us a lot of problems, like format conversion, format negotiating, etc... but it lacks some important things, like for example it's not thread_safe. Also, we lack a standard "webcamWidget" which should deal with the painting stuff, right now kopete is implementing his own, we do the same, and I remember have seen 2 or 3 more around the web/mailist.
Ok so, this email is to aim everybody involved with the avdevice/video to join forces and fix the current situation, maybe starting to write a TODO. My points at the moment are (I'm starting to look deep at it): 1-Thread-safe. 2-Create a standard webcamWidget (phonon here?). 3-Implement some more v4l2 stuff in videoDevice. -- Alex Fiestas _______________________________________________ kopete-devel mailing list kopete-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kopete-devel
