Re: control of the cam app from remote

 

Hi,

maybe your are interessted in this
http://radamanthys.de/public/ubuntutouch/RemoteCam.tar.gz

It's just the Camera example from the documentation (like Micheal said),
but with a small plugin, which reads every x milliseconds a given
file. If not empty it executes the content as javascript, and then
truncates the file.

When the app is running you can do things like

echo "camera.videoRecorder.stop()" > camerascript.js
echo "camera.videoRecorder.record()" > camerascript.js
echo "camera.flash.mode=Camera.FlashOn;camera.imageCapture.capture();" > camerascript.js


After extracting the tar file, run this scipt in the new directoy
to "install" the app
sh create_desktop_file.sh > ~/.local/share/applications/RCam.desktop


greetings
Christian
