Adjusted datetime format to strftime for better legibility Added hflip & vflip in video modes

pageauc commented 8 years ago

Martin

Thanks for the push. I have implemented the change. Was not aware of the date formatting style but looks more elegant. I still have an outstanding issue to add rotate. Some users wanted to be able to rotate the camera image on it's side eg 90 or 270 deg.

I still have to update the tar file and am looking at an easier way to deploy similar to pi-hole using a curl command but not sure if github supports this method.

I have also got a method to dynamically update the pi-timolo configuration remotely via google drive and this has worked for me. It is a simple bash script that runs as a crontab on the remote machine in looks for a new config.py file and when done renames it with a .done extension so you know it was implemented. This is handy for my remote camera that is 3000 km away. Would also like to have config.py auto update automated by checking the file to see if any changes a have been made. At present it requires a program restart to re read the changed config.py.

Also have written an ftp sync for another user. This runs in a crontab as well and updates a remote ftp server with changed files. There are a few other things that need to be cleaned up so might look at an update..

I have also implemented error trapping for rare situations when a counter dat file does not get updated (blank) and cannot be converted to an integer. The fix scans the current image files to figure out the last number used. I was thinking this might be used to eliminate the need for .dat files.

I Claude,

Fixed rotation, but it has introduced an additional variable in the config file - Thinking about it, I'll look into command line arguments to control camera things, like rotation, etc. - Much better than a conf.py in my opinion.

If you could give me a link to pi-hole, because as far as I know it is an internet ad blocking app for the rpi, and that doesn't appear relevant to this app??? I will be looking further into this code in order to better understand it and (hopefully) simplify it.

By the way - thanks! :D

Some questions: Is there some reason that the camera is being setup multiple times? Can't we build a setup function for the camera which returns a configured camera object? It would be better / cleaner (in my opinion) if we only have to set it up in one place.

Also: I'm using fuse to store everything off the pi on a ssh-mounted filesystem. I'm having to manually link the mounted system in the correct place - More options may be needed to allow custom paths and/or sshfs mounting & unmounting from within the app :)

... Off to have a look at the pi-timolo.sh file now (as I've not used it yet) ...

pi-hole uses a curl command to automate the install of the application. I have used it and it works very well via an underlying bash script. The bash script can also be downloaded and run via apt-get. I was thinking this would be a good way to install pi-timolo.

Here is the github repo for the code and instructions. This install was up and running in a few minutes on one of my oldest RPI with 256mb memory and has run without

You can just tell people to do curl -L https://github.com/pageauc/pi-timolo/archive/master.zip to get the zip file, and have either a standard python setuptools install or a bash script. I'd suggest that you host it on PyPI and get a Pip build script going - it can be a bit of a hassle to setup, but once done, it should make deployment much easier. http://skipperkongen.dk/2012/05/02/publish-python-on-pypi/

Or, if you are thinking of doing more work than necessary, you could do something like what these guys do: https://nylas.com/blog/packaging-deploying-python

Let me know what you are thinking and I'll work on assisting :)

pi-hole uses a curl command to automate the install of the application. I have used it and it works very well via an underlying bash script. The bash script can also be downloaded and run via apt-get. I was thinking this would be a good way to install pi-timolo.

Here is the github repo for the code and instructions. This install was up and running in a few minutes on one of my oldest RPI with 256mb memory and has run without

If you could give me a link to pi-hole, because as far as I know it is an internet ad blocking app for the rpi, and that doesn't appear relevant to this app??? I will be looking further into this code in order to better understand it and (hopefully) simplify it.

By the way - thanks! :D

I Claude,

Fixed rotation, but it has introduced an additional variable in the config file - Thinking about it, I'll look into command line arguments to control camera things, like rotation, etc. - Much better than a conf.py in my opinion.

Martin.

Thanks for the push. I have implemented the change. Was not aware of the date formatting style but looks more elegant. I still have an outstanding issue to add rotate. Some users wanted to be able to rotate the camera image on it's side eg 90 or 270 deg.

I still have to update the tar file and am looking at an easier way to deploy similar to pi-hole using a curl command but not sure if github supports this method.

I have also got a method to dynamically update the pi-timolo configuration remotely via google drive and this has worked for me. It is a simple bash script that runs as a crontab on the remote machine in looks for a new config.py file and when done renames it with a .done extension so you know it was implemented. This is handy for my remote camera that is 3000 km away. Would also like to have config.py auto update automated by checking the file to see if any changes a have been made. At present it requires a program restart to re read the changed config.py.

Also have written an ftp sync for another user. This runs in a crontab as well and updates a remote ftp server with changed files. There are a few other things that need to be cleaned up so might look at an update..

I have also implemented error trapping for rare situations when a counter dat file does not get updated (blank) and cannot be converted to an integer. The fix scans the current image files to figure out the last number used. I was thinking this might be used to eliminate the need for .dat files.
