I was looking at something that used some HTML 5 extensions, but wasn't sure if anyone had done something like this before. I don't want to have to reinvent the wheel if someone has already done some ground work.
Thanks
what search terms did you use with google? with "raspberrypi videoconferencing" that is actually the 5th position here. not bad.skspurling wrote:Wow, out of all the google and goduckgo searches, this one never came up. Thanks.

Really, mostly just what was in the demo image and how it was put together. I started poking around after that and was looking at the UV4L. I thought it was just a video for linux adaptation, but the rest of it makes it really interesting. I was thinking, "Oh, so they used Video 4 Linux drivers to get video for this tool, but how is the tool made?" And, frankly, there's nothing that says how it was made, just how to use it. That was before I started realizing UV4L was doing the heavy lifting.RpiName wrote:what documentation do you think is missing?skspurling wrote:Not much documentation on it.

User-space implementation of the V4L. UV4L.skspurling wrote:Still trying to figure out what the U means. Been familiar with V4L since my connectix paralell port quickcam back before Logitec bought them out.
UV4L is the acronym of UserspaceVideo4Linux. As the U in the name suggests, it was originally consisting of ~100% user space video drivers only. Indeed the name is reductive considering the kind of thing it is now. There is probably no time to explain how the things have been put together, so the time is better invested in (trying to) producing good documentation and examples for the end-users.skspurling wrote:Really, mostly just what was in the demo image and how it was put together.

The names kind of unfortunate if you don't read the features page. Still trying to figure out what the U means. Been familiar with V4L since my connectix paralell port quickcam back before Logitec bought them out.
