toonloop [options]

[EXAMPLES]
Choosing the video input can be tricky. The name of the GStreamer video source element is guessed from the --video-source option. (its short form is -d) If it's "/dev/video0" or "/dev/video1", Toonloop will use the v4l2src element. (a Video4Linux 2 video device)
Choosing the video input can be tricky. The name of the GStreamer video source element is guessed from the \-\-video-source option. (its short form is \-d) If it's "/dev/video0" or "/dev/video1", Toonloop will use the v4l2src element. (a Video4Linux 2 video device)

To use a V4L2 video camera:

toonloop -d /dev/video0
toonloop \-d /dev/video0

To display some color bars:

toonloop -d test
toonloop \-d test

To continuously grab screeshots from X11: (very slow)

toonloop -d x
toonloop \-d x

Note that if Toonloop crashes at startup, you should verify that your camera /dev/video0 is really a V4L2 camera, and that it is present. The default width and height are 640x480. You might try to change those using the --width and --height options. You can use tools such as ivtv-utils, gst-launch, gst-inspect or xawtv to investigate about your video devices under GNU/Linux.

Some Toonloop features are enabled only when a value is given for their option. It is the case for MIDI, OSC sending and OSC receiving.
- MIDI is enabled if the user specifies a --midi-input
- OSC sending is enabled if the user specifies a --osc-send-port
- OSC receiving is enabled if the user specifies a --osc-receive-port
- MIDI is enabled if the user specifies a \-\-midi-input
- OSC sending is enabled if the user specifies a \-\-osc-send-port
- OSC receiving is enabled if the user specifies a \-\-osc-receive-port

Here is how to launch a fullscreen timelapse:

toonloop --enable-intervalometer --intervalometer-rate 0.1 --playhead-fps 60 --max-images-per-clip 600 --remove-deleted-images --fullscreen --layout 2 --verbose
toonloop \-\-enable-intervalometer \-\-intervalometer\-rate 0.1 \-\-playhead\-fps 60 \-\-max\-images\-per\-clip 600 \-\-remove\-deleted\-images \-\-fullscreen \-\-layout 2 \-\-verbose
