It does open `pavucontrol` if it's not running, though.

To use this script, simply run it with `./prepare-videochat.sh` and follow instructions. You may have to customize a few variables in the CONFIGURATION section before using it, though. You can also use something like `./prepare-videochat.sh horizontal-flip` to flip the video horizontally, in case you might need it. -Please make sure that audio is enabled on IP Webcam, or the script won't work! +You can choose what streams you want to recieve: audio, video or audio with video. It can be choosen using CAPTURE_STREAM variable. Make sure, that IP webcam is streaming corresponding streams, otherwise the script won't work! Ideas for future work: * switch to Python and use the official GStreamer binding. I'd love to see that, but I don't have enough free time :-(. |
