• How can I send a virtual camera to Genymotion or Android Studio Emulator in Ubuntu ?

  4 décembre 2020, par ykasur

  I created a virtual camera using v4l2loopback and ffmpeg. The command I use for ffmpeg is :
ffmpeg -re -l oop 1 -i vin.png -vf format=yuv420p -f v4l2 /dev/video2

  


  vin.png is the image I want to stream to the webcam and /dev/video2 is the virtual webcam I created with v4l2loopback.
The virtual webcam works and I can see it e.g. with onlinemicetest.com/webcam-test.
I'm using the Genymotion emulator with the newest Android API (I tried 7.0, 8.1 and 10.0) on Ubuntu 20.40.
Genymotion detects the virtual camera but only displays a dummy image :
Wrong dummy Image from Genymotion
I also tried (and would prefer to use) the android studio emulator. But I can only select Webcam0 in the configuration of the device camera and that points to the real integrated camera and not to my virtual webcam.

  


  I don't need to use ffmpeg, but I do need to use a tool that lets me control which image to stream from the command line.

  


  Is there a way to solve this ? Many thanks in advance !

  


  Update 17.11.2020 :
The Genymotion support answered me, that they plan to support virtual cameras in the future. They might be ready to add this in mid 2021.

  


• The neutering of Google Code-In 2011

  23 octobre 2011, par Dark Shikari — development, GCI, google, x264

  Posting this from the Google Summer of Code Mentor Summit, at a session about Google Code-In !

  Google Code-In is the most innovative open-source program I’ve ever seen. It provided a way for students who had never done open source — or never even done programming — to get involved in open source work. It made it easy for people who weren’t sure of their ability, who didn’t know whether they could do open source, to get involved and realize that yes, they too could do amazing work — whether code useful to millions of people, documentation to make the code useful, translations to make it accessible, and more. Hundreds of students had a great experience, learned new things, and many stayed around in open source projects afterwards because they enjoyed it so much !

  x264 benefitted greatly from Google Code-In. Most of the high bit depth assembly code was written through GCI — literally man-weeks of work by an professional developer, done by high-schoolers who had never written assembly before ! Furthermore, we got loads of bugs fixed in ffmpeg/libav, a regression test tool, and more. And best of all, we gained a new developer : Daniel Kang, who is now a student at MIT, an x264 and libav developer, and has gotten paid work applying the skills he learned in Google Code-In !

  Some students in GCI complained about the system being “unfair”. Task difficulties were inconsistent and there were many ways to game the system to get lots of points. Some people complained about Daniel — he was completing a staggering number of tasks, so they must be too easy. Yet many of the other students considered these tasks too hard. I mean, I’m asking high school students to write hundreds of lines of complicated assembly code in one of the world’s most complicated instruction sets, and optimize it to meet extremely strict code-review standards ! Of course, there may have been valid complaints about other projects : I did hear from many students talking about gaming the system and finding the easiest, most “profitable” tasks. Though, with the payout capped at $500, the only prize for gaming the system is a high rank on the points list.

  According to people at the session, in an effort to make GCI more “fair”, Google has decided to change the system. There are two big changes they’re making.

  Firstly, Google is requiring projects to submit tasks on only two dates : the start, and the halfway point. But in Google Code-In, we certainly had no idea at the start what types of tasks would be the most popular — or new ideas that came up over time. Often students would come up with ideas for tasks, which we could then add ! A waterfall-style plan-everything-in-advance model does not work for real-world coding. The halfway point addition may solve this somewhat, but this is still going to dramatically reduce the number of ideas that can be proposed as tasks.

  Secondly, Google is requiring projects to submit at least 5 tasks of each category just to apply. Quality assurance, translation, documentation, coding, outreach, training, user interface, and research. For large projects like Gnome, this is easy : they can certainly come up with 5 for each on such a large, general project. But often for a small, focused project, some of these are completely irrelevant. This rules out a huge number of smaller projects that just don’t have relevant work in all these categories. x264 may be saved here : as we work under the Videolan umbrella, we’ll likely be able to fudge enough tasks from Videolan to cover the gaps. But for hundreds of other organizations, they are going to be out of luck. It would make more sense to require, say, 5 out of 8 of the categories, to allow some flexibility, while still encouraging interesting non-coding tasks.

  For example, what’s “user interface” for a software library with a stable API, say, a libc ? Can you make 5 tasks out of it that are actually useful ?

  If x264 applied on its own, could you come up with 5 real, meaningful tasks in each category for it ? It might be possible, but it’d require a lot of stretching.

  How many smaller or more-focused projects do you think are going to give up and not apply because of this ?

  Is GCI supposed to be something for everyone, or just or Gnome, KDE, and other megaprojects ?

• Command raised an exception : NameError : name 'player' is not defined

  20 mars 2023, par baartys

  I finally got myself a hosting for my project, but got into an error and I don't know how to resolve it.
I ran command !play to start streaming in vc, but I got this error :

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

  I tried running it on my pc and that was without error, but once it was on the hosting it ran in to the error up the page.

  


  Here is the code :

  


  import discord
import urllib.request, json 
from discord import FFmpegPCMAudio
from discord.ext import commands
from discord.ext import tasks
client= commands.Bot(command_prefix="er!", intents=discord.Intents.all(), help_command=None)

@tasks.loop(seconds=10.0)
async def my_background_task():
    """Will loop every 60 seconds and change the bots presence"""
    with urllib.request.urlopen('https://api.laut.fm/station/eurobeat/current_song') as url:
        data = json.load(url)
        global namestatus
        global artiststatus
        namestatus = data['title']
        artiststatus = data['artist']['name']
    await client.change_presence(activity=discord.Activity(type=discord.ActivityType.listening, name="Eurobeat FM"))
    await client.change_presence(activity=discord.Game(name="Para para dancing ~"))
    await client.change_presence(activity=discord.Activity(type=discord.ActivityType.listening, name=f"{namestatus} by {artiststatus}"))


@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print('Eurobeat Radio is running!')
    await client.wait_until_ready()
    my_background_task.start()


@client.event
async def on_voice_state_update(member, prev, cur):
    if client.user in prev.channel.members and len([m for m in prev.channel.members if not m.bot]) == 0:
        channel = discord.utils.get(client.voice_clients, channel=prev.channel)
        await channel.disconnect()

@client.command(aliases=['p', 'pla', 'join', 'j'])
async def play(ctx, url: str = 'http://stream.eurobeat.xyz'): 
    channel = ctx.message.author.voice.channel
    global player
    try:
        player = await channel.connect()
    except:
        pass
    player.play(FFmpegPCMAudio('http://stream.eurobeat.xyz'))
    embedVar = discord.Embed(title="Started Playing!", color=discord.Color.random())
    await ctx.send(embed=embedVar)


  


  Would be very grateful for your help !
