• How to create multiple virtual cameras for an app in development?

  I have tested OBS's Virtual Camera feature, but it only provides a single virtual camera from what I've tried. I also tested a piece of software called Webcamoid. It was easy to use, but I couldn't get the MediaStream object from it using Tauri on MacOS for some reason, even though it worked when I opened the test app in Chrome instead. I am not sure it would enable multiple instances either. Source: about 1 year ago

• Webcam issues

  That did not seem to do anything with Cheese, however it lead me down a rabbithole to https://webcamoid.github.io/ with links to virtual camera drivers for "akvcam" and "v4l2loopback" which solved the issue within browser. I installed both, not sure which one was needed. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Was forced to participate in a Facebook Messenger call today.

  Yes, obs-virtualcam, or this open source thing will do it https://webcamoid.github.io/. Source: about 2 years ago

• Can someone please help me identify this coin?

  I would have liked to take better quality pictures, but this was the best my webcam could muster (at least when using Webcamoid). If the images don't appear, and show the alt text I provided, it's a coin with a silver outer circle, and a gold inner-circle (where the details are present). Source: almost 3 years ago

• What are you rewriting in rust?

  I'm writing a Rust digital signage player very heavily influenced by info-beamer, with a focus more on local intranet control: https://github.com/superlou/signrs. You develop a signage application in JavaScript with drawing functions, and the player runs it cross-platform (including Raspberry Pi), and provides a web server for remote control.

• Godot 3.5.2 on Raspberry Pi 3B < 20 FPS

  I am trying to port a digital signage application I built on info-beamer to Godot. The application is expected to run full-screen on a set of Raspberry Pi 3Bs (at least until Pi 4s are back in stock), preferably with 1600x900 px resolution or better since the application is mostly drawing text.

• A friend of mine set up these TVs in his bar, where they sometimes show live TV. How can we get rotated content to play across all of the screens together?

  I would suggest you check out info-beamer.com and trueomni.com . I am using info-beamer on several displays in commercial situations and it has worked well. I haven't tried rotating to an angle but you should be able to map the screens as if they are level and play the content across them all. Source: over 1 year ago

• Local BBQ chain. Simple menu display.

  You might also try out info-beamer (full disclosure: operated by my company) if you have 30 minutes of spare time. Unlike pisignage and yodeck, it's not based on Raspberry Pi OS and implements some reliability features they cannot easily add like: Complete OS image verified every boot to detect any corruption, OS always read-only even during OS upgrades thanks to A/B booting, 100% power loss safe and highly...
