What would you like to see?


On my PC the difference in terms of performance is far from negligible, 0.9.x needs much more GPU power :-/
But then, I think Jessie sticks to 0.8. *If* it runs on the Pyra, we may have to keep this version in the Pyra repositories to keep something playable. Wait and see, I guess it's a but early for that now...
 
Hi everyone,

I'm new around here and I'm searching the board for information on the many questions about the Pyra I have - obviously. Don't want to bother anyone with questions which might have been repeated many times already. ;)

For now, is there a software that allows screen capturing on the Pyra (or is it planned to port something like that), similar to how you capture using Quicktime on Mac for instance?

Thanks
 
so there's simple screen recorder already available for the Pandora, so it should be available for Pyra, too:
http://repo.openpandora.org/?page=detail&app=ssr

if you don't need video, but just screen grabs, that's pretty easy, too. this is the bash script i called "screenshot" to take screen grabs:
Code:
#!/bin/bash

if [ -z "$1" ]
then
    filename="screenshot.png"
    if [ -f $filename ]
    then
        filename="another-screenshot.png"
        if [ -f $filename ]
        then
            filename="ya-screenshot.png"
            if [ -f $filename ]
            then
                filename="screenshot.png"
                # only allow 3 screenshots.  go back to original.
            fi
        fi
    fi
    echo 3
    sleep 1
    echo 2
    sleep 1
    echo 1
    sleep 1
    echo "cheese!"
    wait
else
    filename="$1"
fi
import -window root "$filename"
 
Thanks! I was thinking about people who review stuff or even create let's plays and was curious whether Pyra had a "native" solution for that. :D

My devboard videos I use an HDMI recorder and before that I just recorded from my phone pointing to the screen. It may be possible to record with a native run on device solution. However I feel it would eat up too much CPU/IO performance and bog down whatever game you are playing.
 
I Have an Elgato HD60, USB recorder it works fairly well even with a USB 2.0 interface.
 
This was a pretty easy compile once I got the build script to play nice. If I was home and not doing everything remotely I'd make a video, although it would play through a window as there isn't any easy SDL HW scaling yet.

He needs to use more pics like that. Also, that reminds me that I have a ton of episodes of MST3K on my DVR I need to either watch or delete.
 
@Grench, I'll be trying aTc's new stretch OS image soon, I'll give it a try then as it will most likely have a more updated firefox version.

I have been using Stretch RC2 on my home workstation (Intel) and server (AMD) for several weeks now. So far it has behaved very nicely. One caveat - XFCE wasn't quite behaving right yet on the workstation. Stretch moves some things around a bit and it hasn't all been migrated to XFCE yet. Flipped to Cinnamon and weirdness went away. I'm running the server headless with multiple VirtualBox VMs and it's been very solid.

If the Pyra is going to run Stretch out of the gate, we should be able to stick to a single Debian release for a couple of years. Cool.
 
btw, looks like the new episodes of MST3k on netflix will be up april 14. they have some old ones there, too.

I watched the MST3K version of Manos with my wife and kids this last weekend. Best way to watch a very very bad movie.
