0.2.0

This release is about the web interface, which is available at the specified port (see -port option). The web interface shows the recent snapshot and lets you install updates from Github. This fixes the long standing issue #16

Running hkcam locally is now done with the command task hkcam. (task => https://taskfile.dev/#/)
This command sets the port of the web ui to 8080. You can specify a different port like this: PORT=8081 task hkcam.

I've also change the format of the tags from v#.#.# to #.#.#. That's because the Go library to install updates doesn't support the old format.

v0.1.0

By switching from hc to hap, I was able to clean up some code.

This version was tested on macOS Big Sur 11.3.1 (20E241) and on a Raspberry Pi running Raspberry Pi OS 32-bit (Kernel version: 5.10, Debian version: 11 (bullseye)). On macOS I've used the built-in iSight camera. On the Raspberry Pi I was able to get it to work with a USB camera (ELP 1080P) and a standard camera module. (The camera module requires Legacy Camera Support though.)

There is currently no pre-configured Raspberry Pi image available because installing v4l2loopback and ffmpeg is easy to install via apt-get (see Readme).

v0.0.10

Fix ansible-playbook command in readme

v0.0.9

This release improves the video stream quality by setting the video resolution to 720p and providing an option to set the minimum video bit rate.

The pre-configured Raspbian image sets the video resolution via v4l2-ctl in the /etc/sv/hkcam/run script.
The minimum bit rate is not specified but you can set it with the --min_video_bitrate argument.

A run script with a minimum bit rate of 500kbps might look like this

#!/bin/sh -e
exec 2>&1
v4l2-ctl --set-fmt-video=width=1280,height=720,pixelformat=YU12
exec hkcam --min_video_bitrate=500 --data_dir=/var/lib/hkcam/data --verbose=true

Note: Setting a minimum video bitrate might break streaming to Apple Watch.
