How can I change with custom image?

[mozo78]

Hello,
I can't figure out how to change to a custom image. What will be the command and where I should put the image? Can you help me? Thank you :)

Hi, are you talking about the virtual background? Currently there is no user facing flag to pick your own image since I mostly use the backgroud blur or the face tracking feature.
For a no-code solution to what you're asking I'd look in the config file here or just replace the image file in the data directory with whatever you want. Getting the image to resize properly depending on your image size, input and output frames might be tricky.
I'll add this as a feature request.

nvm there is an option that I put in a while back python entry.py bg-swap --help however I do get some frame sizing issues

update the issue I was seeing was due to a corrupted config file

Thank you. Replacing bg.jpg did the trick. I would love to use the blur option but it's very thin and the suroundings are very visible. Can you make it more opaque?

I created an issue for this to track it.

I can look into adding an option to make the bluriness configurable. maybe a --blur-level

This would be great! I'll wait eagerly :)

looks like I already had written that feature as well. entry.py bg-blur --kernel-size 92 no changes needed. the default kernel size is 31 and you can make increase it to get a stronger blur. in general use --help with any of the commands to get more options. let me know if that solves it

Yes, it's working great! Thank you very much!!!
