It's been a while since I revisited the PinePhonePro but with cameras and camera utilities coming a long way on newer devices I wanted to revisit <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/libcamera" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>libcamera</span></a> on the PinePhones. I installed <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@NekoCWD" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>NekoCWD</span></a></span>'s cameractrl and it successfully controls focus, but the PPP camera seems to have autoexposure that reduces the utility of cameractrl's exposure slider. Anyways, here's a picture of some other postmarketOS devices.</p>
Doylov Vasiliy<p>I just made some changes to <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://floss.social/@libcamera" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>libcamera</span></a></span> to export focus/brightness controls and created a PoC app to work with it via <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@pipewire" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>pipewire</span></a></span> (wireplumber gobject api) in <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@vala_lang" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>vala_lang</span></a></span> because why not? <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@postmarketOS" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>postmarketOS</span></a></span> </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/linuxonmobile" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>linuxonmobile</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mobilelinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mobilelinux</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>photography</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ShotOnOnePlus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ShotOnOnePlus</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ShotOnMainline" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ShotOnMainline</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/libcamera" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>libcamera</span></a></p>
Robert Mader<p>First try to create <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/libcamera" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>libcamera</span></a> swISP tuning files for the OnePlus6 with <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ideasonboard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ideasonboard</span></a> folks at <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/embeddedworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>embeddedworld</span></a>.

Robert Mader<p>4. Thanks to <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/libcamera" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>libcamera</span></a> enablement work, udmabuf is available to users by default in many distros now and <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/systemd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>systemd</span></a> 257 sets an uaccess tag. It's not yet available in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/flatpak" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>flatpak</span></a> without device=all, though.<br>5. The main missing DRM formats are three-plane &gt;= 10 bit ones that are compatible with what sw-decoders produce.<br>6. AFAICS the approach should work equally well for clients like <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mpv" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mpv</span></a>, <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/firefox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>firefox</span></a> and <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/chromium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>chromium</span></a>.</p>
Robert Mader<p>P.S.: the idea was inspired by the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/libcamera" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>libcamera</span></a> sw-ISP and the MR can be found at</p><p><a href="https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/8540" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstream</span><span class="invisible">er/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/8540</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/gstreamer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gstreamer</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ffmpeg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ffmpeg</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/wayland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wayland</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mesa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mesa</span></a></p>
