I'm always pleased if a bunch of updates arrive to my #Librem5. Today some arrived. Currently, I'm running the alpha #Crimson release of #PureOS.

@Sxan Correction: As @dos pointed out, the Librem 5 camera app #millipixels does record sound in videos - i just retested now on #postmarketOS and on #PureOS Crimson. I think when I tested previously on them, my mic volume must have been low or muted.

So not sure why camera support on L5 is marked as partially working in pmOS devices wiki... Perhaps because apps that don't support libcamera can't detect it? I know Signal I need to plug in external webcam, but other apps including Firefox with Jitsi do detect the camera...

#postmarketOS just landed the last MR needed to make the #libcamera + #PipeWire camera stack work on the #Librem5 and #PinePhone by default, using the new software ISP shipped in libcamera 0.3.
So if you have such a device: just update and go install apps like Snapshot, Warp, Decoder etc. You can even use it with Firefox and - very soon - Chromium.

Note that this does *not* replace #megapixels or #millipixels - those continue to be the default camera apps.

Unearthed my #librem5 running #postmarketos once again to see if there are any funky updates (there were none, it's running edge already  )
To compensate, decided to play around with #millipixels which went a m a z i n g: all but 3 of a few dozen raw DNG files it made turned out unreadable by anything but #imagemagick , and even it only managed to get some BW out of them, even though the 3 readable ones were in colour, as expected O_o
Yay, #opensource #lomography .
I'm not even mad.

@dos

The same applies for videos too (which are even lower res).

I found this out when I recorded videos of > 10 min and #millipixels crashed when I ran out of disk space.

Turned out (I never really looked into this previously) that it will just dump all the DNGs to /tmp/ and this will get cleaned up after encoding into a movie is done.

Having it crashed allowed me to rsync the files to my laptop where it is waiting for me to produce what I hope to be high quality video!

Comme y a peu d'améliorations de #Phosh et de #Millipixels en ce moment voilà un petit tutoriel pour installer #Waydroid sur le #librem5

Ca peut aider à avoir plus d'applications via APK

That can be the case. I took the photo with the automated settings of #Millipixels.

Maybe they are still working on optimal colors:

The color matrix needs to be obtained from a raw picture of a calibrated color target. Here's how: https://source.puri.sm/dorota.czaplejewicz/megapixels/-/merge_requests/17 The forward matrix doesn't...

@flypig
The camera app would've been recoverable in 10secs if I would immediately have thought of https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/millipixels/-/issues/36

The solution/workaround would have been to refocus #millipixels
so that it starts streaming again.

I've been wanting to try out the latest #megapixels as well ... 🤔

Stop streaming while the app isn't focused (#36) · Issues · Librem5 / millipixels · GitLab

Quite often I end up forgetting about Millipixels still running in the background, which then uselessly eats a lot of power. This could be easily fixed by stopping...

Today there was a great update of the #millipixels camera app for the #Librem5. Many thanks to all who worked on this.

Very nice that you can see the #gain, #exposure, #whitebalance, and #focus values in real time!
