Live View with CLI #253

Open LoganArnett opened 7 years ago

LoganArnett commented 7 years ago

Is there a way to activate the live view using the CLI? I am trying to make a simple photobooth style webapp and was hoping to execute the capture commands using the CLI but still offer the live view in the browser.

I noticed in the remarks for the CLI that you cant run the commands while the application is running so I was hoping for a way to get the live view active without running the application.

Any help on this would be awesome

Just found the Remote Utility looks like what I would need however I cannot autofocus with the Remote Utility, is there a way to autofocus and capture using the Remote Utility from the command line?

You can use following commands (both case the live view should be opened)

Awesome thank you @dukus that was exactly what I was looking for, I do have one more question though, when I enable the webserver and use the camera as a webcam source it works excellently, however, once I execute a focus and capture I am not able to get the webcam to come back, it either leaves the still that was just captured or goes blank. I have run LiveViewWnd_Show as well as LiveViewWnd_Hide and then LiveViewWnd_Show to try to re-engage the webcam but have not been successful, I know this is not an issue with your repo I am just curious to see if this is possible. The software is amazing by the way! 👍
