Webbased Graphical User Interface for camogm called camogmgui

This interface enables to directly record video to internal camera HDD or CF card using just the browser.

Prerequisites

To record to a harddrive it has to be mounted first.

I mounted this HDD at /var/hdd/:

mke2fs /dev/hda1 //format the hdd, naturally required only for the first time
mkdir /var/hdd //create a folder that we use as mount point
mount /dev/hda1 /var/hdd //mount the hdd

Changelog

Version 0.3

Some decent progess here. Lots of ajax scripting done to show filesize, datarate, etc. live while recording video files. Record and stop-record commands are also ajax transmitted which makes the GUI much more responsive. Stability issues seem to be solved now as well.

Again: before the script can be used camogm must be started manually via shell:

camogm /var/state/camogm_cmd &

camogmgui_0_3.zip


Version 0.2

I color labeled the parts of the gui and their current grade of operation. Record Format and destination directory are now read from xml output of camogm to fill in the form. The script now checks if both camogm and compressor are running. If the compressor is not running it can be started directly in the GUI. Camogm can not be started in the GUI yet (crashes...).

Before the script can be used camogm must be started manually via shell:

camogm /var/state/camogm_cmd &

camogmgui_0_2.zip


Version 0.1

Very basic functionality as of now, format/codec can be selected, target directory can be set, record start/stop, audio recording form is already in the file but not functional yet
