Short: Streaming Jpeg decoder
Author: et@enterprise.net (Evan Tuer)
Uploader: et@enterprise.net (Evan Tuer)
Version: 1.0
Type: comm/tcp
Requires: Fastview.
Kammi is a simple program which can split up the output from a Webcam32
(v4.7.1) which instead of saving individual files, sends one binary stream.
This is faster and just generally better, but Camwatch and Webcam cannot at
this time handle it.
There's a couple of limitations to this program (well, OK, a LOT of
limitations). Firstly, it doesn't display the actual graphic itself. I
don't mind this, because with camwatch, the picture is dithered to your wb
settings, by a datatype, which is slow, gives a small picture and anyway
you're usually not looking at the window.
So, to use this, you need to download the binary stream for however long
you're on (using V, ftp, whatever) and then run kammi on it to produce the
splitted files.
Once you run it and it starts spewing out file0001, file0002 etc into t:
you can run fastview to show the pics.
run kammi >nil: ram:cam ram:out
fastview ram:out???? delay=0 waitforpic
That's it! perfect, ham fullscreen pics, which update properly (not
scrolling down over the old image, like a web browser) at about 1 fps. You
can add delay=1 into the fastview command if it works too quick.
Let me know sites which work (and down't work) with this and I'll include
them in the archive.
Likewise, any improvements you want, just mail and ask. I'll include real
TCP downloading if it looks easy, so far the program has only taken two
hours to write, and one of them was for this doc :)
