Hello, For quite a while I was hoping that it's just me; I thought maybe everyone else is able to use some tool for video mapping but as time have passed I kind of realised that nobody I know knows about a working solution. I use Linux (what else).
Video mapping: I have a camera, records a movie. I have a GPX, contains the track. I would like to use the data combined in JOSM (preferably, or any working standalone application if it fails, which is inconvenient but still useful more or less) to be able to see images for a given position, possibly being able to frame-forward and reverse (to read signs etc). It seems simple enough. I don't even care about soundtrack. There is a VideoMapping plugin for JOSM. No, that's not correct. There was a plan to create a working VideoMapping plugin for JOSM in 2010. Since then the development ceased completely and the code, as it is, uses specific and pretty eccentric java libraries which doesn't work at all under Linux (or possibly anywhere else but windoze). I have tried several times but based on the (non-)feedback from JOSM developers the code doesn't work, not expected to work and nobody able or care to rewrite the video display codepaths. So, I ask around, here, now: does anyone know a _working_ solution (working under Linux) for the desire above? Isn't there anyone with the wish and will to code a JOSM video plugin instead of that very beta piece of code (or fix it, but my guess is that it is not quite "fixable")? Shouldn't be that hard - unless there is really no way to display images under java (I'm not familiar with java, you see). Or is there any external code possibly doing what's needed? Or really nobody does videomapping anywhere? True, I could cut the video apart to images at given intervals and geotag them but then I'd lose 97% (29/30) of the recorded data. (Even the sound track but I could live without it, and there seem to be an audio sync plugin for JOSM - I have never tried.) Any help or input would be appreciated.
