shmile's Issues

Making shmile run without console output

I'd really like to run shmile without the continuous console outputs that it creates as I find it slows the app down as more and more photo's are taken, id there any way to achieve this? I'm not fantasic with code, and while I can find instances of console.log and remove, this doesn't seem like the best option. I have considered using coffeebar to run the app.coffee with the -s option that suppresses console output, would this work?

Processing thumbs/pictures node 0.12.6/npm 2.11.2

Hello Guys, I am really excited about your photo booth project and installed it the first time I saw it. Unfortunatelly I good some problems with shmile. I am total beginner but I sticked to the instruction. I am using node v0.12.6 and npm v2.11.2 on my rasbian jessie because I had problem download the right version of node.js with you script. All functions seem to run fine. Webgallery/Initator/Gphoto. But after taking the picture(s) they are not processed and displayed.
Is there any log I can send or post?
Thank you for your support.

Can't print to 4"x6" paper

I'm trying to print the photo to 4"x6" photo paper. I have set up the default paper size on my printer settings (Mac), but the printer keeps reporting wrong paper size.

Just wondering if anyone else has managed to do this.

Factor out global vars in Node app

Stuff like this makes peoples' eyes burn:

State = image_src_list: []

Factor out the global and instead pass it around as inputs to the system.

Raspberry pi USB reset

Greetings

Raspberry Pis keep losing camera connection.

http://blog.brainmassage.co.uk/2012/12/raspberry-pi-usb-reset-code/

Shows the code to resolve the USB issue for the Raspberry Pis and will also help other machines if they have an issue.

This revision would greatly help the build.

Just thought it would help with the inconsistent stability. Every time it loses ability to take next picture if I manually do the USB reset it seems to resolve and when I don't I can't even take a test snap with gphoto. This should resolve the issues.

Thank you,

Hugh

issue with image_compositor.coffee

Hi, I've been getting an error every time I run shmile

• For context I am running shmile in raspbian on a Raspberry Pi, in general it is working well, however this is a continuing error.

Once this error has occurred shmile crashes and has to me restarted.

If anyone has any tips, or ideas as to why this error is happening, please let me know, I've tried to figure it out, but unfortunately my skills and understanding a pretty lacking, so I'm struggling!

Replace SVG animations with CSS3 transforms

SVG is slow on some mobile devices (ahem, Android). Let's swap with the plain ol' DOM w/ CSS3 transforms.

@glenwong suggests http://janne.aukia.com/zoomooz/. It's pretty slick.

Add ImageMagick CLI tools to install file

Hello, just spent about 30 minutes to figure out that the Node ImageMagick package was installed, but the binary CLI tools were not:

events.js:72
        throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
              ^
Error: spawn ENOENT
  at errnoException (child_process.js:980:11)
  at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (child_process.js:771:34)

See also: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17951133/spawn-enoent-error

Simple solution: Add "brew install imagemagick" to your install instructions.

Transition to ES6

Now that Node is ES6 compatible, we should begin transitioning app code to use it.

Help Please

Hi,
i was planning on using this code for an event im running at school for charity, however im not at all experienced in this kind of codeing (im used to python and swift) . please help... its tomorrow!!

i have followed all the instructions but at the moment the localhost page just shows a start button ? this is the terminal output...

printer is: undefined
info - socket.io started
(node:9384) [DEP0025] DeprecationWarning: sys is deprecated. Use util instead.
debug - served static content /socket.io.js

Test coverage needs improvement

If anybody wants to take up the mantle of increasing coverage, please be my guest :)
I've begun the work of abstracting away certain system dependencies behind proxy or stub objects, but there remains much more work to be done.

Portrait Orientation Mode

Currently, all 4 photos are taken in landscape orientation. An option to turn all 4 photos to use portrait orientation would be awesome.

Refactor frontend UI libraries

Might want to factor it into proper/idiomatic JS models (Backbone/Reactjs? Angular?)

Reliability issues with the app -- server seems to lose communication with client -- leads to freezing.

I think this has to do partially with the way that state is captured in the server -- the server tracks the frame # in a global var. We can refactor state out of the server-end and let it be passed back and forth in each session. This also ensures that the client can connect and disconnect from the server and proceed reliably.

Cannot change directories to save files

I'm not sure if anyone has had success with this previously but I've tried using symbolic links and changing the directories in the /lib coffee scripts and have found that it will only write "tmpfilexxxxxx" files rather than provide the correct filenames hence breaking the remainder of the program when it goes to resize and composit. Not sure if I'm overlooking a directory location or if it's a file system problem (trying to write to fat32 usb key) but any advice would be great.

Question: why split repos for app/ui?

Hi Andrew,

First: excuse me for bothering you with an email about "just" a question. Second: I'm incredibly grateful that you made this application. It's awesome!

Now the question: why are the app and UI part of the system split into different repositories?

I've currently spent a few minutes in the app, and became quite frustrated with the UI being in a remote place. Changing something in the UI means committing and pushing in UI, and running Yarn again in this repo. Thats get old very fast...

App crashes after taking the first 4 photos on RPi

I've loaded the latest code on my RPi 2 by following the instructions in the wiki.
The page loads but the program only takes the first 4 pictures before crashing.
I don't know where or what to fix based on the error (can't find an "events.js").

Here's my log output:

Workaround for iOS bug regarding apple-mobile-web-app-status-bar-style

I detected (and then confirmed, e.g. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12680909/ipad-web-app-freezes-on-startup) that the current meta tags in views/layout.jade

meta(name='apple-mobile-web-app-status-bar-style', content='black-translucent')

causes the app to "hog" the whole device, you can't quit, you can't multitask, home button stops working, and only a hard reset works (see post above). Changing to this:

meta(name='apple-mobile-web-app-status-bar-style', content='black')

seems to have no visible impact for me, but on the upside the app works as expected.

Or perhaps this is a feature, sort of a "kiosk" mode? ;-)

Fails to take all 4 pictures on raspberry pi linux (raspbian/debian)

Hi! I know you don't want to deal with Linux, but I'm wondering if you can point me in the right direction. shmile works great on my macbook, but I thought it would be really neat to get it going on a raspberry pi.

Symptom: It will hang and stop taking pictures some time before the 4th picture. Sometimes it won't take any, sometimes it will take one or two or even three - but three is rare. Always, what will happen is it will hang after one of the "camera_begin_snap" events.

Let me know if you have any ideas I can pursue. Sample output below:

pi@raspberrypi ~/shmile $ coffee app.coffee

CameraControl is: function CameraControl(filename, cwd, web_root_path) {
      this.filename = filename != null ? filename : "%m-%y-%d_%H:%M:%S.jpg";
      this.cwd = cwd != null ? cwd : "public/photos";
      this.web_root_path = web_root_path != null ? web_root_path : "/photos";
    }

Its look like, img_src_list on image_composer its empty :(
