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

She got the nickname for her unyielding devotion to the service of mankind, big or small, but often small.

There are some things people should not know, and I agree that the pain threshold and communication of forced euthanization and slavery of animals will be a game changer. Thanks for this analysis

your buffer size must exceed several floppies!

oh, it literally pipes into another tool! I thought that 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?

Because it won’t be used and won’t be seen, that’s the sad reality of it. I do host a small personal blog run of org-mode+hugo, but it gets less visitors than a library at midnight

I think I’ve seen this anime

I live in the hope that the insightful comments I left on reddit over my long tenure there will eventually be part of a FOSS corpus, once the VCs can’t extract anything of competitive value from it anymore. I’ll be long dead, but my comments will live on.

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
