Fedora Photobooth @ SXSW

This is the first year that Fedora will have a booth at SXSW! Sadly, I am not going to be attending since it conflicts with PyCon. However, my code will be running at our booth. Usually the Fedora booth at conferences is comprised of a bunch of flyers, media, swag, and some people to help answer questions and tell the Fedora story. However at SXSW, things are going to be a little different.

Aside from the amazing flyers that Máirín created, there will also be a Fedora Photobooth. Someone (probably Spot or Jared) will be dressed in a full Tux costume, and people can come and get their photo taken with them. Spot came to me the other day and asked if I could write some code to streamline the whole process.

An hour or so later, photobooth.py was born. There are definitely lots of improvements that can be made, but here is what it currently does in its initial incarnation:

In Action
See Mo's blog for photos of this code in action at the Fedora SXSW booth!
* SXSW Expo Day 1 from the show floor
* SXSW Expo Day 2
* A Beefy, Miraculous Day at SXSW (Expo Day 3)


The Code
I threw this in a git repo and tossed it up on GitHub:

Luke you rock! Thank you so much for making this for us. Spot will be wearing the costume primarily, and it looks great on him from the pictures I've seen so far. Giant penguin ftw! :)

You should pass this along to http://www.fauxbooth.com/ . They're a localish outfit that has a photobooth similar to this, I'd imagine, and they run Fedora on their setup. Probably very similar to yours, in fact.

Posted by tom Callaway at Wed Mar 16 12:33:05 2011

Luke, your code has been working fantastic for us! Thanks again.

Hi,
Sadly it doesn't work for me :/

$ python photobooth.py
Modèle  Port 
----------------------------------------------------------
Nikon DSC D5000 (PTP mode)  usb:002,011 

*** Erreur ***
L'élément graphique /main/capturesettings/zoom n'est pas configurable.

*** Erreur ***
La propriétée 'Taille de l'image' / 0x5003 n'etait pas réglée, PTP eurror code 0x02ff.

*** Erreur ***
Échec lors du positionnement de la nouvelle valeur de configuration 3 pour l'entrée de configuration /main/imgsettings/imagesize.

Any idea to help me ?
(I use Fedora 14 and install 
correctly requires: python-imaging, qrencode, gphoto2, surl)

Thanks,
Sylvain

Sylvain,

It looks like your camera doesn't support the default `gphoto_config` options that I set in there by default.  Try commenting the imagequality/imagesize/zoom out.

Posted by Sylvain at Fri Mar 18 07:16:45 2011

OK
If i disable all the gphoto config line, my camera take a photo.
gphoto_config = {
  #'/main/imgsettings/imagesize': 3, # small
  #'/main/imgsettings/imagequality': 0, # normal
  #'/main/capturesettings/zoom': 70, # zoom factor
}
But of course the file is quite big..
I also saw the watermark, so it's better than yesterday !

I also don't kwon how to replace the line for the upload to my personnal FTP. Any idea too ?

Thanks for your help.
Sylvain

Posted by Luke Macken at Fri Mar 18 17:41:06 2011

@Sylvain: You can run `gphoto2 --list-config --auto-config` to see all of the configuration options for your specific camera; it may have a different type of sizing/resolution option.

As for FTP, this script currently only supports SCP'ing it to a remove SSH/SFTP server.  Adding support for FTP shouldn't be /too/ difficult though, if someone wants to write a patch :)

Posted by Sylvain at Sat Mar 19 22:04:03 2011

Thanks.
For SFTP it's OK, I just try and find the correct syntax to reach my provider. It work's fine :)

But I'm sorry, I don't see how can 'gphoto2 --list-config --auto-config' help me :

@Sylvain, maybe try doing --auto-detect first, and then --list-config ?

Posted by Sylvain at Sun Mar 20 09:09:49 2011

Well, it's near perfect :)

I understand a little how to run gphoto. I'll read gPhoto Doc too (http://www.gphoto.org/doc/remote/)

For exemple, to know what parameter is supported by my camero for imagesize, this is this command line :
$ gphoto2 --get-config imagesize
Current: 4288x2848
Choice: 0 4288x2848
Choice: 1 3216x2136
Choice: 2 2144x1424

So, visibly, the lower resolution I can have is with choice 2, a litter big perhaps, but anayway I can run better photobooth :)

Now I'll try to config the HTML generate file.

Thanks for all.

Posted by Sylvain at Sun Mar 20 15:09:16 2011

Do you know if it is possible to have the code of Fedora Photobooth ? It look like very nice !

Posted by Luke at Fri Mar 25 20:17:26 2011

@Sylvain, I don't have that template, but I'll see if I can track it down.

Posted by Sylvain at Fri Mar 25 21:59:16 2011

I hope you can.
Thanks.

Thanks for the information buddy.

Hi,

I installed libsurl.i686 but I get the following message  File "./photobooth.py", line 8, in <module>
  import surl
ImportError: No module named surl. Am I missing any dependencies?

Posted by Luke at Mon Apr 9 14:37:45 2012

marcoelgordo,

You need to install `surl`. https://launchpad.net/surl

Posted by Marcoelgordo at Wed May 9 12:13:46 2012

Lewk,

I have sent you an email with some suggestion to the code to:
1. integrate Arduino push button to start the sequence
2. have a preview before taking the shot using piggyphoto
3. refresh the same firefox tab (using remote add-on) to avoid having multiple tabs open.
Have you received the email or do I need to resend it?
