Hi all, I have hacked camorama (http://camorama.fixedgear.org/) so that it works with videojack. This means that videojack now has support for many types of webcam.
A quick HOWTO:
1) download the patched jack from here:
http://bekstation.bek.no/piksel/pikseldev/jack-vjack5.tar.bz2
compile and install it. Make sure you delete all older copies of jack !
2) edit your ~/.jackdrc file, change it to:
/usr/bin/jackd --port-max 10 -d dummy -r 25 -p 10
(assuming you installed the patched jackd in /usr/bin)
3) download patched camorama from here:
http://bekstation.bek.no/piksel/pikseldev/camorama-vjack.tar.bz2
compile and install it.
4) Plug in a USB webcam, and start camorama. If all is well you will see the camera frames, and also a message on the terminal about starting and connecting to jack.
jack_lsp should show:
camorama:video_out
You can now start a video input, e.g. jack_video_ouput. Then connect camorama to the output using:
jack_connect camorama\:video_out jack_video_output\:video_in
You can start as many copies of jack_video_output as you like, and keep connecting.
You can also view/record the output in LiVES.
- compile LiVES with --enable-vjack
- start up LiVES using the sox audio player (with CVS version you can do "lives -aplayer sox")
- go to the VJ/set real time effect defaults menu. Click on vjack_rcv. Set the frame width and height to match the size in camorama. You can save this if you wish (VJ/Save realtime effects)
- press ctrl-v and map ctrl-9, mode 1 to vjack_rcv. Close the window.
- press ctrl-9. You should see blank frames.
- connect LiVES to camorama: jack_connect camorama:video_out Weed-receiver:video_in
Enjoy !
Gabriel.
