version 0.9.1 codename RASTASOFT
by jaromil
MARI'! MARI'! E' USCITA LA NUOVA VERSIOOOOONEEEE
(NGULO! era DUE ANNI che non l'aggiornavo)
ultimamente l'hasciicam faceva cilecca con i driver delle ultime
versioni del kernel 2.4, come a dire che molte webcam e schede video non
funzionavano per nulla, tranne che con la versione installata da .deb
nell'ormai preistorica debian stable contribuita dal BUON christian
surchi.
questo perche' qualche tempo fa alan cox ha deciso di togliere dal
kernel space tutte le procedure di conversione YUV->RGB, lasciando
l'implementazione all'application space.
ed io finalmente ho trovato il tempo e la pazienza di smazzarmela, anche
perche' ultimamente mi e' tornata la voglia di giocare un po' con
hasciicam, che tra l'altro verra' inclusa in questa versione AGGIUSTATA
anche in dyne:bolic BETA1 (codename VOTAMAZ) di prossima uscita....
DUNQUE
VENGHINO VENGHINO SIORESIORI
se l'ultima volta che l'avete provata non vi ha funzionato bene allora
RITENTA! SARAI PIU' FORTUNATO
MANCA ancora il supporto per webcam philips (driver pwc) se qualcuno scrive
un algo di conversione da YUV420 planare a scale di grigio (prendendo solo la
luminanza) me lo mandi che io lo includo sul MURO DELLA FAME
ed ora l'inglish uazzagana:
HASCIICAM IS OUT NOW, TAKE IT http://ascii.dyne.org
ALSO FEATURING SPECIAL GUEST ON SCREENSHOTS RICHARD STALLMANN DEPICTED AT THE
HACKMEETING 02 IN THE TPO BOLOGNA

Hasciicam makes it possible to have live ascii video on the web. It
captures video from a tv card and renders it into ascii, formatting the
output into an html page with a refresh tag or in a live ascii window or
in a simple text file as well, giving the possiblity to anybody that has a
bttv card. a linux box and a cheap modem line to show a live asciivideo
feed that can be browsable without any need for plugin, java etc.
- ---
INSTALLATION
it should work as usual:
./configure
make
make install
what's needed to compile:
aalib - that's the great lib that makes possible ascii rendering
if your distribution does'nt includes it, you can fetch it
from the hasciicam webpage.
video4linux driver - depending on your card - stable comes as a kernel module
bttv :: http://www.metzlerbros.de/bttv.html
buz :: http://www.munich-vision.de/buz
usb cams :: http://www.linux-usb.org
i'm using hasciicam with a wintv hauppage card (bttv brooktree)
using as a driver the bttv one coming with the 2.4.x kernel series
i also had success with logitech/dexxa usb cams, using the mod_quickcam
module available at http://qce-ga.sf.net
people reported success with several pci and usb devices, refer to
video4linux documentation for further informations, a gallery of
supported bttv cards can also be found here:
http://home.t-online.de/home/gunther.mayer/bttv/bttv-gallery.html
at the moment hasciicam DOES NOT WORKS with PHILIPS WEBCAMS (and any
other webcam using the pwc driver). help is needed with YUV420P
grabbing to make it work - mail jaromil /@/ dyne.org for suggestions.
