ROADMAP.md

Roadmap / Next Steps:

Currently in the pipeline:

• manual image player is a few pixel of vs. the videoplayer, must be pixel prezise in future!
  
• make sure disk will never be overfilled with logs or tmp files
  
• play all video files random (modify the PIR script for this) there is a sketch
  
• add volume setting with store function

• move overlay into a seperate folder, update manual on this

Next to come:

• implement gif player: https://github.com/chidea/FBpyGIF

• make a cue loop function for dmx, e.g. ola_recorder --playback show01 --duration 30 --start 1000 --stop 10000 see here

• Update Everything => check olad version, if not 0.10.7, update this as well.....

• disable swap space, free performance

• fading images, show next, scale via sliders and via dmx/midi/osc...coming.. pygame

• setdmxblack = fadeout possible?

• bluetooth features: connecting boombox, finish this, if somehow possible, already spent several days and nights

• make the led to flash every 10s so we know its alive

• power off button also closes browser tab

• move, rotate, scale images interactive => I do this via dmx/artnet => png gobo player

• when leaving VNC mode, presenter is not working correctly, fix this!

• limit IP input to IP adresses only, no text etc. how do I do that??

• when accessed over the internet, the ola panel is not visible, check how to handle ports with the remote, currently you can ask via mail for another port link..

• playlist feature to play dmx/video01 and afterwards 02 and so on, tricky bit will be to gather the end of the file audio or dmx end counts?...

• CP => remove set to 1 and make function to flip all OLA inputs to OLA outputs

• OLA => is dmx thru working so we can see the show while recording?

• parse dmx sequences from "cough from the garage" software to playback on PocketVJ (similar to mapping converter, can someone send me an exported file?)

• audio equalizer and volume slider in CP

Website:

• Link How to mount the Expansion Board on Image kits to an actual tutorial

Just some ideas:

• enable https:// and create a PWA link (kind of an app)

• slideshow with different times of images depending on number in file-name (image_time5.png) of image

• Add scripts to trigger content based on humidity/temperature

• Add Buttons to trigger dmxshow together with videoplayer sync (already works with osc/scheduler, sync might cause a lot of webtraffic)

• add wireless-power off to interfaces ?

• play images and videos after each other, depending on filename or with an ofx timeline, do we really need that?

• System alive ping, which sends out an email every 5 minutes to tell that beamer&pocketvj is alive, alarm function (do you really need that?)

• AES67 Support, is it possible (https://github.com/dewiweb/ALSA-RAVENNA-AES67-Driver) Edit: Dante USB-dongles are supported

• Add DMX in control commands to control mapper with DMX

• Automount and connect to usb lte modems for remote internet, tricky since each brand is different

• Complete authors file, will this ever happen, there are soooo many people involved

• read color from video and create dmx fixture for it: https://github.com/MadSciLabs/ofxDmxUtils https://github.com/pixout/PixView https://github.com/hzeller/rpi-rgb-led-matrix

  create a pyton script to send 'ola_set_dmx --universe 1 --dmx 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,' create a structure (fixture control) or fork from somewhere..

• maybe this would also enable to capture running screen

• Does ofx and omx play into framebuffer? screenshooters are all tooo slow, already tested

• Integrate this script for more CPU infos in CP: https://gist.github.com/ecampidoglio/5009512#file-cpustatus-sh

• heating beamercases with stressing the cpu

• faster vnc: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2013-01/msg01388.html https://github.com/hanzelpeter/dispmanx_vnc

Tutorials/Manual:

• Videotutorial for masking in mapper with black.jpg and also with the new paint mask function

• rewrite mapper section since mapping without mouse and over remote is working now!, also write how to manually change numbers in the .xml file to get faster results

• remote mapper with webcam, is this possible?, I guess yes, but need to try

• create list of OSC/midi commands for website (without code around it)

• Video tutorial for presenter, how to create a simple menu card of a restaurant

• Video tutorial for VNC/Linux/remote Mapping/Recording using VNC&hdmi recorder or screenrecorder

• how to fix a broken sd card tutorial

• hyperion led stripes video tutorial

Pipeline/Provider/Freedom:

• change webshop to an opensource variant, finish this!!

• create my own gitea server and mirror on github

• shall I stop this project and give up society? meaning freaking out and diving into a nature project somewhere..
