Desktop Source don't work with complex multi-screen setups #34

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
I have a complicated 3 monitor setup, with the primary one in the middle.

Until now, webcamstudio only captures from the middle monitor, but using the 
coordinates from the left one, it's all a bit of a mess.

The reason is, that only the default GraphicsConfiguration is used, and the 
multi-monitor setups aren't taken into consideration while calculating the 
display size and setting up the robot for capturing.

I've attached a patch that fixes all of these issues ( for me ), although I'm 
sure there are some specific side cases that I've not considered. But it's a 
vast improvement over the current state.

This has been a long issue with WebcamStudio. Actually, the problem lies in the 
Java framework, only able to capture from the default graphic device...  

Next release will have a full desktop source, meaning capturing your whole 
desktop...

I only have a laptop and external display, but I could really use the option to 
show what is on that second display.

Can I use this fix safely?

I am not very versed in this stuff.

Thanx!

A pipeline could be the answer to that problem...

I think you can specify the screen and area directly in the pipeline.

I really do not understand what you mean. Care to explain?  Or if it is 
complicated, please just say so.  I do not want to slow down this great work 
with things maybe only I am interested in.

Thanx!

A pipeline is a file in which you can put a custom gstreamer pipeline as a 
source.  See the website for examples
