EASY rearview camera support (w/ a little help)

**antimatter** · 06-18-2004, 12:38 AM

I finaly got this thing installed in my car and tested it with a webcam.

I have to say how crappy my webcam is (in the dark) and how cool this program is.

I havn't quite figured out how you switch between the two webcams but this is definitly a Gem.

a INI configurable V flip would be awesome.

Also the mirroring seems to work for me. I will test it again tomorrow to make sure that i am not smoking anything but when i set the mirror=1 it never hung and looked like it was mirroring the image

Can anybody recomend a good Webcam?

Right clicking should give you the options to swap between the two sources.
Hard to do on a touchscreen though

yea...

How hard would it be to put a column on the left hand side that will list your available cams that you can click between?

Ask mobileh1 if he can do that, I just found the App, I cant program

That comment was directed toward MobileH1

Good Find though

would 90 or 270 degree rotation be possible?

I was just toying with a fairly rough and ready viewer app, typically how many cameras do people run? Would three "live" thumbnails down the left work then when one is clicked show it bigger at the right?

Why dont we start out with something like what you described.

I plan on having at least three cameras and a TV tuner so 4 buttons would work for me....however i think that you should have to make the buttons active by configuring them in the INI (have no idea how this is done)

Skinning would be great too so that they match the MediaCar skin that people are using. I think a lot of people are using the Brushed Metal. I would be happy to do any skinning work but i am not a software writer and know very little about it.

Yeah, the buttons and their sizes should by dynamic, depending on how many cameras are configured in the ini file.

Yea and the skinnability is crucial... Right now this simple app rocks becasue it is just a full screen picture of tv/webcam but if you started throwing big grey clunky looking buttons it would work functionly but not asthetically.

Is anyone up for the task?
