Just make .xsession file in home directory of user and make it executable
Code: Select all
touch ~/.xsession
chmod +x ~/.xsession
echo "some_path/xlib_shm -m1 -m2 -m3 -m4" > ~/.xsession
That's all.
Ideally id like to have the i/f without a keyboard so if the way you suggest is easy and usable, id go with that!
OK. Maybe tommorow if I won't have anything better to do.
I think that nvidia open gl is better than ati's but i may be wrong. Even if there is hardware req just say you need an ati x300 or better for scaling to be good!
Stupid to say but my nvidia riva tnt 1 works perfectly!
I didn't looked at newer nvidia cards because I don't have such one.
Maybe someone who has card which works in xv can recommend something.
I will try to include other driver that would be as fast as xv or even faster and doesn't use main CPU.
picture in picture view
That would be hard thing to do for now. And IMHO not so important.
means to control it remotly (ie my zm box is in my loft headless and id love to connect it to my tv's but id need a means to change the views, ideally over tcp/ip with my pda, laptop etc
I'll think of that.
Maybe control by telnet, and some script?
That should be very easy to fit local requirments.
nvidia/ati tvout support
Already is:) Just in xserver. If you want some info how to configure ask me. Works perfectly for few months on my 0.3 in some school on big lcd tv.
simple playback maybe?
When zms will stream events it will be possible.
If not I think I wouldn't like to play with it.
I prefer mozilla for browsing events.
I believe that it is good to stay with software lightweight and include only needed features - don't double what is already done.
Maybe running mozilla with good url when clicking somewhere would be better than including this inside the app.
freeze frame
Not a big problem
watchdog (if it stops/bombs will be killed and respawned)
It should work with some other script/program. Maybe xlib should reset some counter in file that is being written by bash script. I'll think of that more.
It shouldn't stop unless you restart zm.
Alert if motion detected
Alert if camera changes state - that one I can achieve in few seconds because I have direct access to shm, and there is a variable which shows camera state.
If you say alert you think of sound or message?
cant think of anymore but i reakon theres 12 months work there lol
I think that some of the things I can done in few days...
I think all it needs to be is a simplish fast front end. Its a very nice piece of work i was impressed when i ran it!
I think the bigger stuff should be handled by the remote clients to keep it simple and stable on the server itslef
I think the same - fast and stable, never overloaded like kde or openoffice!
That's one of my goals, and that's the reason I never used kde and other software with too much options.
