Great program. It would be nice can choose the format and resolution of the pictures, and the format of the videos too. I hope we can enjoy a new version.

Are you planing to implement some effects? Like the ones Apple's Photobooth provide?

Version number indicates, that this release is one year old. Doesn't look like an update:(

Thanks for the new release, but it does not compile with GCC 4.5.1 on my Lunar Linux system...

Heres the terminal output:

Komoso Would be most used if there was RPM and DEB packages

Without, it stay reserved for geeks

There are packages for *buntu, openSuSE, Debian available.
Perhaps you should check your distro's repos. Developer is not responsible for building packages.

Did the application development stopped?

I can't even access https://projects.kde.org/playground/multimedia/kamoso

apol

The URL is https://projects.kde.org/projects/playground/multimedia/kamoso/ :)

Hi,

Kamoso is a very good application that was missing for KDE

The latest version is one year old, Is the project still active ?
If yes, what new developments are planned?

apol
10 years ago

We had it kind of stopped for quite some time, mostly because of some library we were using that wouldn't fill our requisites. We're moving on for sure, you can track the development here:

https://projects.kde.org/playground/multimedia/kamoso

It's quite stable now, if you're interested in it, you can try it and tell us what you think on the mailing list: kde-kamoso@kde.org

Why VLC as dependency?

apol
10 years ago

Because we need some video input

H00K

I read on your FAQ why you use VLC now instead of AVdevice (like Kopete does).

Of course probably the right thing to do(TM) would be to fix AVdevice, but another idea would be to check out how other non-KDE webcam apps handle this. There's a few: Cheese, camE, SDLcam, spcaview, sonicsnap..

To be honest, VLC is quite a beast as a dependancy for just recording from webcam.

apol
10 years ago

Hey
Well that's probably going to change. Not because VLC is too big, but it's not really fitting our requirements. Improving AVDevice is not an option either because we just don't have the time. We'll see what we find.

Why not simply use gstreamer? :)

apol
10 years ago

Check our development repositories, there's a gstreamer branch. We'll get there.

bdgraue

Hi, i ve packaged kamoso from git and uploaded to my ppa.
To add it:

sudo add-apt-respotory ppa:nuovodna/nuovodna-stuff

PS Is in TODO list adding effects like cheese ??

apol
10 years ago

Indeed it is, probably not for the next version but the one after that.

The next one will bring stability and better integration mostly.

hello. is possible add other video backends like mplayer?

greetings

apol
10 years ago

It can be done but it's not one of our priorities so far.

If you are interested on contributing such support you can send an e-mail to kde-kamoso@kde.org

It can't be compiled in Debian Squeeze with KDE 4.4.3 either:
