Ah, indeed: the demo I saw must have either used named pipes or been a derivative of the sources currently on launchpad (engine.py would need extension to directly access non-file sources, although it's all gstreamer). Packaging this source is fairly trivial, if it's considered particularly useful: it's a clean setup.py and fairly sensibly licensed. > However, I tried looking up VJ in synaptic and that spit out "LiVES", > already in the repos.

Unless someone can document a sensible video processing workflow (VJ, broadcasting, etc.) which is known to be well-done with it, I'm not sure it ought get any more or less attention than any of the other audio/video tools in the archive that aren't part of known workflows: while there's *lots* of software in the archive, and all of it is presumably useful and used by some folk, the more that we attempt to call supported (even as "extra sw"), the less I would expect we could refine the experience to be ideal for accomplishing real tasks. -- Emmet HIKORY -- Ubuntu-Studio-devel mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel
