I'm working on writing a new user creation module for firstboot in Fedora. I'd like users to be able to use a webcam to set a photo when they are creating an account.  I've whipped up a couple of first draft mockups of what I envision the interaction to look like:

As you can see, I've used the cheese UI and gnome-about-me UI  as inspiration and I'd like to use cheese to drive the webcam chooser. What are your thoughts on using cheese from external applications? Specifically, are you planning to support something like this in the future? If not, would you accept patches to do so and do you have any thoughts on what would be the best technologies / methods to use to accomplish such a task?

Thanks, Ben

> What are your thoughts on using cheese from external applications?

well i _had_ plans about that but unfortunately no time to do it ;) what
i wanted to do was a dbus interface, which other applications can call
and then get a photo back. this should be quite the same as you thought
above, but it allows much more applications to do that (buddy icon on
instant messengers, games, gdm, ...)

The dbus interface sounds good. Did you envision having a dbus interface for the preview video? I don't know enough about dbus to comment on if that will work well but I'll ask on fedora-desktop list to get some comments.

Cheers, Ben

I'm working on writing a new user creation module for firstboot in Fedora. I'd like users to be able to use a webcam to set a photo when they are creating an account.  I've whipped up a couple of first draft mockups of what I envision the interaction to look like:

As you can see, I've used the cheese UI and gnome-about-me UI  as inspiration and I'd like to use cheese to drive the webcam chooser. What are your thoughts on using cheese from external applications? Specifically, are you planning to support something like this in the future? If not, would you accept patches to do so and do you have any thoughts on what would be the best technologies / methods to use to accomplish such a task?

The dbus interface sounds good. Did you envision having a dbus interface for the preview video? I don't know enough about dbus to comment on if that will work well but I'll ask on fedora-desktop list to get some comments.

well i _had_ plans about that but unfortunately no time to do it ;) what
i wanted to do was a dbus interface, which other applications can call
and then get a photo back. this should be quite the same as you thought
above, but it allows much more applications to do that (buddy icon on
instant messengers, games, gdm, ...)

The dbus interface sounds good. Did you envision having a dbus interface for the preview video? I don't know enough about dbus to comment on if that will work well but I'll ask on fedora-desktop list to get some comments.

But loading the recorded ogg-files into avidemux is not possible. It seems that the format of the files is not correct. With avidemux i get this error while loading the "cheese-videos": Ogg file detected.. First packet : not a header 80? Well, i thought it could also be a avidemux-problem, so i took a look at the videos with mplayer. Mplayer plays the videos, but it gives a error-message: Opening video decoder: [ffmpeg] FFmpeg's libavcodec codec family [theora @ 0x8939638]Missing extradata! Could not open codec. VDecoder init failed :( Opening video decoder: [theora] Theora/VP3 So to me it is nearly clear, that the "extra-data", whatever this is, is not saved by cheese, but it's needed to edit/play the files correctly.
