GTK+ UVC Viewer

This is the unofficial snap for GTK+ UVC Viewer, "A simple v4l2 full-featured video grabber". It works on Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, and other major Linux distributions.

Installation

# Install the snap package
sudo snap install guvcview

# For capturing photo and video to `/mnt` or `/media`
sudo snap connect guvcview:removable-media

# Enable the "H264 Controls" tab, for the webcams that support H.264 hardware encoding
sudo snap connect guvcview:hardware-observe

(Don't have snapd installed?)

Remaining Tasks

Snapcrafters (join us) are working to land snap install documentation and the snapcraft.yaml upstream so GTK+ UVC Viewer can authoritatively publish future releases.

• Fork the Snapcrafters template repository to your own GitHub account.
  • If you have already forked the Snapcrafter template to your account and want to create another snap, you'll need to use GitHub's Import repository feature because you can only fork a repository once.
• Rename the forked Snapcrafters template repository
• Update the description of the repository
• Update logos and references to [Project] and [my-snap-name]
• Create a snap that runs in devmode
• (SKIPPED, upstream name not available) Register the snap in the store, using the preferred upstream name
• Add a screenshot to this README.md
• (SKIPPED, strict confinement already done) Publish the devmode snap in the Snap store edge channel
• Add install instructions to this README.md
• Update snap store metadata, icons and screenshots
• Convert the snap to strict confinement, or classic confinement if it qualifies
• Publish the confined snap in the Snap store beta channel
• Update the install instructions in this README.md
• Post a call for testing on the Snapcraft Forum - link
• Ask a Snapcrafters admin to fork your repo into github.com/snapcrafters, transfer the snap name from you to snapcrafters, and configure the repo for automatic publishing into edge on commit
• Add the provided Snapcraft build badge to this README.md
• Publish the snap in the Snap store stable channel
• Update the install instructions in this README.md
• Post an announcement in the Snapcraft Forum - link
• (SKIPPED, upstream site doesn't allow access & merge request) Submit a pull request or patch upstream that adds snap install documentation - link
• Submit a pull request or patch upstream that adds the snapcraft.yaml and any required assets/launchers - link
• Add upstream contact information to the README.md
• If upstream accept the PR:
  • Request upstream create a Snap store account
  • Contact the Snap Advocacy team to request the snap be transferred to upstream
• Ask the Snap Advocacy team to celebrate the snap - link

If you have any questions, post in the Snapcraft forum.
