Workaround for 3.x users

[spartacus04]

I have a remarkable 3.4 and I need to absolutely take screenshots from it.

Since this project looks kinda dead because it's not receiving updates anymore and to work it requires
lz4 installed on the remarkable (which requires Toltec -> requires a remarkable <= v2.15.1.1189), I just made a PR to reStream that doesn't need lz4 installed on the remarkable that allows users to screenshot the device.

You can find the PR here, it's not merged yet (probably because reStream is kinda dead too) but it allows 3.x users to take screenshots and record their screen without installing toltec

Thanks for pointing that out.

I allowed users to use this script without lz4 on the tablet.
Can you point me to a resource, where the requirements for toltec are listed?
I couldn't find it myself and toltec works fine for me.
But I also had installed previous to the update.

Hi, you can find the requirements for Toltec here, it doesn't support 3.x yet because of ddvk-hacks not supporting such versions

Damn I missed that warning when I reinstalled toltec this morning.
Luckily it didn't brick my device.

Could you kindly confirm that my changes work for your device?
Then I will close this issue.

Yea sure, i'll try them right now

[spartacus04]

Yes, it works however there's a problem where the output image is really dark,

in reStream #92 someone fixed this by applying the curves=all='0/0 0.07/1 1/1' filter to ffmpeg, but applying it to the reSnap script isn't really working in this case. Unfortunately I can't help you with that since I don't really know how to use ffmpeg that well.

Thank you.

When I apply the filter, the image is too bright for me.
You can put the string into the filters variable in line 16. Like this:

filters="curves=all='0/0 0.07/1 1/1'"

[spartacus04]

Ah ok, thanks for the help

[cloudsftp]

Playing with the parameter x changes the brightness.
Higher is brighter.

filters="curves=all='0/0 x/1 1/1'"

Without the filter its perfect for me.
Interesting that it is different for other people.

[cloudsftp]

Ok now, it's too dark for me too.
Working on a fix.

@spartacus04 could you test the filters in the linked issue?
