For those running #postmarketos edge on a device with working camera - the number of which is raising fast enough to make me lose track - and you want to play around with the great new #gnomecamera / #gnomesnapshot #gnome47 release: you'll need to install gst-plugins-rs manually until some build issues are fixed.

The release features heavily improved rendering performance, mainly thanks to improvements in #gtk4 and the #gstreamer gtk4paintablesink (also for apps using the aperture library)

#postmarketos edge on a device with working camera - the number of which is raising fast enough to make me lose track

That's exciting news and where can I find out which ones they are? I look at the wiki Devices page periodically but I guess it lags the actual development

@mahmoudajawad @dan So the Pixel 3a will be the first one with both cameras (not counting PP, PPP and L5). The Pixel 3 and 3 Max use the same sensors and hopefully will follow - but I don't think anyone has got it to work yet.

Then there's the Poco F1 where the back-camera works, some msm8953 devices (1) and random other ones (2).

@mahmoudajawad @dan With the pipewire+libcamera stack maturing (Fedora will also use it by default in F41 on some devices that require it, fixing a bunch of bugs in preparation) I hope the documentation will improve soon.

Because there's quite a difference between: "kernel supports it, here are the steps to get an actual image with gstreamer or ffmpeg" to "there's a preinstalled camera app and if you open it it works - and other apps like your browser as well".

@rmader @mahmoudajawad hah yes, I had an OG PP once, it was slower than the Moto G5 Plus I bought it to replace.

Pixel 3a looks interesting - thanks!
