ClutterGst.Camera library allows us to do this in a very easy way, I think it is time to implement it, the only thing that would be missing is the design. Any ideas for this?

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Plug in a Logitech C920

Expected behavior

Video to not be really slow.

System information

• elementary OS 0.4.1 Loki:

I also tried installing guvcview from package and from the ppa on sourceforge, no difference. Also there are some mentions online of changing Auto white balance in guvcview, but this didn't change anything.

In cheese and in Chromium there is no problem. Audio and video works as expected.

This is a problem of UX, when you record a video, you do not know if it is actually being recorded more than the icon change.
A timer could be added to give more information to the user.

After building, run desktop-file-validate data/*.desktop

I was messing around with CTest to no avail. But we should have make test working

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Open the app
2. Click the "Disabled" label at the top left of the window
3. The label changes to "3 Sec" and this seems to be displayed as untranslated

Expected behavior

The string "%d Sec" should be displayed as translated.

Actual behavior

The string "%d Sec" is displayed as untranslated.

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Plugin a USB webcam in a laptop
2. Open Camera application

Expected behavior

I expected it to switch it to the USB webcam

Actual behavior

The application keeps using the built-in webcam, and gives no indication of an external webcam

System information

• Operating system version: elementary OS 0.4.1 Loki
• *Laptop: Dell XPS 13 9350
• Webcam: Logitech C310

Additional information

Both cameras work and can be switched in video calling applications like browser based services and others.

A function like this is essential, especially if you want to take a selfie with friends.

Simply put, I miss an option for switching between internal & external webcams. For example, my laptop has a built in webcam, but I also have an external USB webcam that I'd like to be able to use. There's currently no option for choosing which webcam to use, and a simple drop-down menu for choosing which cam to use would suffice just fine.

We should remember the last used timer setting in gsettings

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Plug in USB camera
2. Open App

Expected behavior

Take webcam shots or videos

Actual behavior

The app becomes totally unresponsive. I get an initial still image when the app boots up, but I can neither take pictures or shoot video.
The webcam works with both cheese and GUVCview, so it's not a hardware issue. Possibly a compatibility issue?

Hello guys

I installed the io.elementary.camera package from Elementary OS on Ubuntu Disk 19.04 normally, but message appears that it does not recognize the webcam. Note I have the Juno Elementary OS installed on the same machine and the Webcam works normally.

I installed through the repository:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa: elementary-os / daily
sudo apt update
sudo apt install io.elementary.camera

In the description, there is the option pantheon-camera, but this one says to be with broken package and does not install. Could it be this that does not let the webcam work? Look!

sudo apt install pantheon-camera
[sudo] password for edson:

The following information may help resolve the situation:

E: Impossible to fix problems, you kept (hold) broken packages.

Note When I enter synaptcis there is no broken package.

If you uninstall io.elementary.camera and try to install the pantheon-camera the same broken package information appears.

The installation of io.elementary.camera is performed successfully on Ubuntu 19.04 Disk, but does not appear the image of the video and nor does it recognize the webcam, video attachments.

When you try to open the camera through the terminal the following error message appears:

The camera desktop file references an icon that is neither defined in the XDG icon naming spec, nor present in most icon themes (except elementary's) - accessories-camera. This leads to multiple issues.

Please consider shipping and using a branded io.elementary.camera icon with camera (or just an accessories-camera icon, since it's non-XDG-standard anyway).

Hi, could you add translation files for Silesian?

ISO 639-3: szl
Plurals: nplurals=3; plural=(n==1 ? 0 : n%10>=2 && n%10<=4 && (n%100<10 || n%100>=20) ? 1 : 2);

Thank you!

It's not super obvious to me that changing between still image and video is actually doing anything because the modes change so fast. Maybe there should be transition animation?

Photos are succesfully taken, but there's no feedback to indicate that they were. There should probably be some kind of

• audio cue (shutter sound) and
• visual cue ("flash" to black so that we don't actually flash and mess up the photo)

Overview

After the latest update (or after I tried to install xserver-xorg-core-hwe-18.4), the camera app stopped working. Previously, I was able to use it normally.

The camera works fine under Skype, Cheese and VLC.

Expected behavior

The camera app must detect my default available camera.

Actual behavior

When I open the app, it prints the error in the main window: No Supported Camera Found. Connect a webcam or other supported video device to take photos and video.

Also, I see the following console error:

(io.elementary.camera:29113): Clutter-Gst-CRITICAL **: 14:19:09.325: Unable to setup device without element factory, node and name set 0x56461611fc60 0x7f297800c810 (nil)

System information

Acer Swift 3 315-52G UHD

• Operating system version: Juno with latest updates

The translations for "extra" are not available in Weblate.

Steps to reproduce the issue

When left clicking and draging on webcam's output image (aka canvas) it should move the whole window.

When right clicking on webcam's canvas it should trigger the shooting just like left clicking on the red button.

These features also exist in audience (aka pantheon-videos)
right clicking on video canvas pauses or plays the movie
left clicking and draging on video canvas moves the whole window

So snap (aka pantheon-camera) and audience (aka pantheon-videos) became coherent.

Steps to reproduce the issue

Currently using a Logitech C615 webcam.

Expected behavior

Logitech C615 supports 2 recording resolution/modes, both wide and standard. I am able to record in 16:9 in other applications such as Zoom, or even the browser. It'd be great if we can have an option to switch the resolution.

Actual behavior

Currently the Camera app is only giving me a 4:3 video without any options to change it to wide.

System information

• Operating system version: Juno

Lock window resizing to the aspect ratio of the webcam so that there are no black borders appearing. Just like it's advertised on elementary.io
https://elementary.io/images/screenshots/camera.jpg
On that screenshot you see no black borders on each side or on top and bottom of the window.
Even while resizing the window with the mouse, the window is locked to the canvas' aspect ratio of the webcam.
This feature also exists in audience (aka pantheon-videos) but it's broken and this feature exists in mpv-player.

[Bug] When the camera starts and the video mode is found, we have to turn off the timer button

When the video is recorded successfully, there's no no way to tell the user that the video was recorded correctly and where it was saved.

Solution

We can send a notification to the user indicating that their video was saved correctly and if the user clicks on the notification, that the notification opens the file browser where the video was saved.

Feature

Effects on camera. You know how in Photo Booth on MacOS and to a lesser extent, Cheese on Gnome, has camera effects that makes your photo looks more "funky" and "cool".

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be cool if we can have those same camera effects that Cheese on Gnome has.

Existing work
https://github.com/GNOME/cheese

Describe alternatives you've considered
If we can have unique and more cool effects than what Cheese has, it would be cool too. Added plus if we can innovate on the kind of effect that already existed.

After a session of selfies. I realized that there are many things to improve in this application.

1. The Widget to change the type is very ugly and unintuitive.
2. If a picture is taken, only one sound is thrown, but it could be improved by adding a flash.
3. Add timer function.
