FX : ascii art generation - libcaca ? about veejay HOT 17 CLOSED

was thinking about this the other day. and i think yes, libcaca
would be the library of coice. libaa supports no color, and i
also think it's older / less maintained.

i had written a "to-console renderer plugin" for our virtual
reality library with libaa back when i was still in aachen, that
was fun.

so yeah, do it! :)

What about a video2ascii filter ?

It is all fine, as long as it is a LiViDO plugin so it does not add dependencies to the veejay project

Also consider that you may need to convert the resulting ASCII back into an image for further processing and display (you said filter)

Alternatively, if written as sink (just 1 input, no outputs), it could replace the SDL Video Window

For me priority goes to the other open issues :)

hummm not sure about LiViDO... but can contact easily the dev team.

Sure but i use the issue system has features repository also ;-)

livido is simply veejay's plugin system, libcaca developers would not know about it. A feature branch would only be needed if this should go into veejay core

We couldn’t find any code matching 'livido -veejay'

Yes, or frei0r - that would be fine too

from veejay.

you can grab X-window and pipe it to vloopback device

ffmpeg -f x11grab -r 25 -s 720x576 -i :0.0+0,0 -vcodec rawvideo -pix_fmt yuv422p -f v4l2 /dev/video0

this issue can be closed if nobody is going to implement it as a filter

from veejay.

Removed minor label; libcaca is quite extensive on its feature set so it is all but a minor enhancement (many filters could be derived from it)

from veejay.

Closing issue, fix all others first.

Aaww cmon don't be so hard ;) No fine there's plenty of other stuff to do first. Will also get more actively involved now. Btw I'm still idling all the time in #veejay on freenode so maybe join there people so we can have some casual discussion and easier coordination of efforts. No need to, just reminding, I'm always there by now (hadn't been for a while after I announced the channel).

Ok , let's keep it open :) Joining freenode after working hours ...

Idling on freenode.net, #veejay - Will check every couple of hours for visitors :)
