Re: Biscuit | Version 1.1.1 OUT NOW!

After a year of procrastination I have made some progress, the current version is on github, written in html, js and css. It will be wrapped using electron for desktop use and distribution.  All it does is take pictures using the webcam, but it doesn't save them, more features soon.  It is running on Mac but works cross-platform (Windows, OS X, Linux).
Try it out at: http://bimstop.github.io/Biscuit/
(It looks better in application form, I swear.)

I've have actually been working on my own HTML5, JS and CSS frame capturing program as of recent. Although using Node WebKit as the wrapper. So far I've implemented frame capture, deletion, onion skinning and playback.

I'm not too familiar with contributing via GitHub but I'm sure some of what I've been working on could be transferred to Biscuit, especially since you appear to be using WebRTC - exactly the same as what I was looking at! Here's what I've got so far (although a load of things don't currently work... http://boatsarerockable.github.io/animator/

How exactly do I contribute? Is there a feature list or something?

Woah that's awesome, Boats! Its actually working, which is fantastic. Almost better than HeliumFrog. You should upload your source to GitHub so we can contribute to your awesome project.

Not to take away from the main topic, the return of Biscuit, but wow, I am amazed by this. Keep it up, man!

GitHub is pretty easy, just download the program and it can walk you through it.

Edit: I did some fiddling and got onion skinning to work.

Dang Lunears, check your emails…

So, uh, when I try to load the web page, I'll click camera, and I don't know what was supposed to happen, but if a live preview of the camera right above the "Take Frame" button was supposed to show up, it didn't. Also, there's a JavaScript error that says "TypeError: null is not an object (evaluating 'canvas.getContext') (Anonymous function) camera.js: 5"

And Boats, I don't think you've added Mac support, but when I load your program, the subviews where the camera preview is supposed to be is black, so I'm guessing the program isn't loading my camera properly. Also, clicking "Change Camera" does nothing. In addition, I got 8 JavaScript errors while trying to load the webpage.

@Jasper
Biscuit:
For some reason you can only see the camera preview when using the Electron shell. I'll try and add some info to the readme file on the best way to open Biscuit using Electron.

Boats Animator:
Ah those errors are happening for a variety of reasons. Mostly because the program is really designed to run in a NW.js wrapper rather than just in browser. Viewing the program in its wrapper isn't the most straight forward thing right now but I'll shortly be providing a direct link.

The camera preview not showing is not a Mac thing, its a Safari problem. Safari is the only major browser to not support WebRTC, Firefox, Chrome or Opera for Mac should work fine.

Also I'm sorry for derailing this Biscuit thread I think I'll make a separate thread for Boats Animator.

Re: Biscuit | Version 1.1.1 OUT NOW!

I'm wondering if the CamTwist and Canon EOS Utility work around to get a DSLR working as a webcam works for Biscuit or not?

If it can be used the same as a webcam, it can be used with Biscuit. (99% sure of this)

Biscuit already works on mac! (Biscuit-darwin-x64.zip) I should change that to mac or osx in the future.

Probably a good idea most people aren't familiar with the kernel

@lunears I tested Biscuit on Windows Vista and 7. The build is pretty solid, but I have some problems to report. Where is the best place to report them?
