Yeah, I mean it’s not like they’re calling native Android functions there (in proceedWithOpenCamera), it looks like the CameraDevice object might offer a lot more capture modes that just aren’t being tapped into. Is it just a programming issue, or does Android only offer Photo contexts but not Video ones, or…?

Is it just a permissions issue? On a rooted phone, could I not simply add termux user to the camera group

Yeah I have a bash script that does similar, using the notification API for interactivity

FOLD_CAMERA=CameraShots
TEMP_PID=~/.record_pid
APP_ID=record

mkdir -p $FOLD_CAMERA

function main {
    termux-notification \
        --id $APP_ID --group RECORD \
	    --priority max \
	    --button1 "Front" \
	    --button1-action "termux-notification-remove $APP_ID;bash $0 record 1" \
	    --button2 "Back"  \
	    --button2-action "termux-notification-remove $APP_ID;bash $0 record 0" \
	    --button3 "Quit" \
	    --button3-action "termux-notification-remove $APP_ID;exit" \
	    --title "Record"
	
}

function record {
    local cam=${1:-0}

    termux-notification \
        --id $APP_ID --group RECORD \
	    --priority max \
	    --button1 "Stop" \
	    --button1-action "termux-notification-remove $APP_ID; bash $0 killproc" \
	    --title "Rec. $cam"
    
    (while :; do
	     termux-camera-photo \
	         -c $cam \
	         $FOLD_CAMERA/$(date "+%Y%m%d-%H%M_${cam}_record.jpg")
     done) &

    local pid=$!
    echo -n $pid > $TEMP_PID
} 

function killproc {
    local last_pid=$(cat $TEMP_PID)
    if [ "$last_pid" == "" ]; then
	    termux-toast "Could not kill process. Restart the phone."
    else
	    kill $last_pid &&
	        bash $0 main
    fi
}


[ "$*" = "" ] && main || eval "$*"

It just needs ffmpeg tied to the exit function

your buffer size must exceed several floppies!

oh, it literally pipes into another tool! I thought thay vertical bar was a config option for less lmao

is that an alias or a sys env?

I ain’t got no time for no config! I’m a busy man!

Yes, back in days of yore when the cyberbunnies had to run their lines through the bare wastes of the great Dave’s router, there existed a tool so coveted by the eunuchs that they named it twice, and would beg for degrees of release depending on how gimped up they were. “More” some would scream, “less” others would whisper.

I use less always, and am genuinely puzzled by people who use more

I use bat sometimes, but how do you stop it from wrapping lines?

ah no worries, I was just surprised by it. Yeah it’s a hardware list for NAS/MiniPC/selfhosting as vetted by other Lemmy users

I know right, fuck that guy

I collected this data from another thread that might be useful: https://lemmy.ml/post/30234916

Edit: well fuck me for trying to help…

huh. What about -b add,fullscreen, and keep spamming it in a for loop

I get this a lot when playing Sims4 in Awesome. The window just ups and vanishes if you tab to desktop.

Solution:

wmctrl -a sims -b toggle fullscreen

genuinely? I liked the almost sloppy yet primal feel of that everpresent beat

Irrelavant but awesome: DJ Format - Separated at Birth (if you ever played with old school hot wheels cars, this is your wet dream…)

Take up smoking or drinking to make the experience more bearable whilst also clouding yourself with cigarette/alcohol fumes to pull up a physical barrier. Flap your arms slowly from time to time to add uncertainty, and yawn periodically. Finally, jettison your inkpouch to blind your opponent and scramble into a crevice in the ensuing confusion.

Did you spend your formative years sleeping under your parents bed?
