Re: [Server-devel] [XSCE] XSCE 5.1 Features
I have revised http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XS_Community_Edition/Features by cataloging where we are in terms of features implemented and supplementing the planned features that were there with the ones from our recent IRC meeting. I have also made a home for wish list items, but have yet to fill it out.

Re: [Server-devel] Taking pictures with an XSCE on an XO
Thanks Anna. You may find the motion package interesting. In addition to saving images based on motion detection, it can also save snapshots at regular intervals, and provide a live feed to a browser. It doesn't require any apache integration to provide the live feed. It has a much smaller resource footprint than gstreamer, last time I checked. One process does all. It even has a web browser control interface. http://motion.sourceforge.net/ http://www.lavrsen.dk/foswiki/bin/view/Motion/WebHome Works on XO-1.5, XO-1.75, and XO-4. On XO-1.75 it consumes about 13% CPU at two frames per second. It doesn't do the expensive JPG compression unless the image is to be recorded or sent over the net. I've got several working on various tasks. My favourite motion.conf file looks like this: framerate 2 webcam_localhost off webcam_port 8081 control_port 8080 control_localhost off daemon on despeckle EedDl threshold 13000 quality 90 target_dir /var/tmp/images jpeg_filename %s-%v-%q width 640 height 480 snapshot_interval 600 snapshot_filename %s -- James Cameron http://quozl.linux.org.au/ ___ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
[Server-devel] Taking pictures with an XSCE on an XO
A long time ago, I posted on OLPC News Forum about how to make your XO-1 take and display an image with gstreamer and the boa web server. You can take and display an image from the XO-1's camera via any browser on the LAN. These instructions are mostly still valid for the XO-1. http://web.archive.org/web/2028021343/http://www.olpcnews.com/forum/index.php?topic=4710.0 But for the XSCE on an XO 1.5, 1.75 or 4? Apache makes things a little more difficult to configure. So let's just see what to do, then. As root, create this file: -bash-4.2# cat /var/www/cgi-bin/webcam.cgi #!/bin/sh # CGI script to take and display an on-demand image echo "Content-type: text/html" echo echo "A Picture from the XO XSCE Webcam" echo "Here's a Real Time image from the XO XSCE Webcam" echo "" gst-launch-0.10 v4l2src ! ffmpegcolorspace ! pngenc ! filesink location=/var/www/html/images/webcam.png > /dev/null echo "" echo "" echo "" echo "Refresh this page to take another picture" echo "" chmod +x webcam.cgi Still as root, Put apache into the video and audio groups in /etc/groups: -bash-4.2# cat /etc/group |grep apache video:x:39:olpc,apache audio:x:63:olpc,apache mkdir /var/www/html/images and then: chown apache:apache /var/www/html/images Reboot. Then go to http://whatever your XSCE's IP is/webcam.cgi and it automagically takes and displays a picture of what your XSCE XO is pointed at. Then hit F5 to refresh as needed for new pictures.
