iJenAPE: New version avalible now!

SYFi · 4th August 2003, 13:30

A new version of our motion detection APE is avalible to download. (See here for the old thread)

Now works with Winamp 2!

Go get it here!

Here are some screenshots of the new version in Winamp 2:

We are also thinking about those of you who don't own a WebCam. It is possible to have other inputs into iJenAPE. We are discussing the idea of having the AVS itself as an input; Detecting any motion in the layers below it.

This may be included in later versions.

Next time you update it just post in the last thread that you used.

Can't wait until you make it available for people who don't have webcams.

Jaheckelsafar · 5th August 2003, 03:49

Crashes my winamp.

Screenshots look nifty though.

Hi Jaheckelsafar,
Cheers man

However, I'm sorry, but we can't help you at all it you only give us this little information ...

Can you give us more?
A mail to APE.bugs@syfi.co.uk would be great.
Your OS, version of Winamp, DirectX version, system hardware spec (ie, processor, memory), what happened, the error message, you webcam model, and anything else ...

The more you can help with these bugs (everybody!) the better this little baby will become

Seriously, it's out there now and we want to get this as tight as possible ...

Me is waiting for version for people without webcam as well. Screenshots look very nice indeed.

UnConeD · 5th August 2003, 21:27

I have an old webcame lying around, but it doesn't seem to work with iJenAPE:
"No RGB24 Pin found on capture source."
(it's an Intel Create&Share CS100 with horrible picture quality).

The APE crashes whenever I try to do anything with it, regardless of whether 'enabled' is checked or not. Loading any of the included presets causes a crash.

Oh and your Winamp2 installer still says Winamp3 everywhere (though it does install correctly).

Deamon · 6th August 2003, 06:30

He posted in the other iJenAPE thread that your webcam should indeed have RGB 24 bit color depth as output source, otherwise the APE wouldn't work. I dunno if this problem is being solved, but if your webcam doesn't support RGB24, than you probably just have to wait till other input sources are aviable, like most of us

Hi UnConeD,
heh, we've got a CS430 here and it only supports I420 and IYUV!!! not an RGB setting in sight!

We are looking at supporting RGB8 and RGB32 in the very near future

but unless you haven't got one of the three settings ... sorry. We're not really developing the feed source (hence the I_Source file), just working more on Jen directly.

We went out and picked up 2-3 random cheap'n'nasty (£15!) cameras and they all worked

As for the crash, yeah, sorry about that, it'll be fixed soon, for version 2 (maybe sooner ...)

And finally, we only found 1 instance of Winamp3 in the Winamp2 installer, could you elaborate please?

chilm.

UnConeD · 6th August 2003, 13:26

Supporting RGB32 should be trivial (and indeed preferred because it doesn't need conversion to AVS), but I doubt RGB8 is used anywhere.

I'm sure you can find some YUV420/I420 conversions through Google though. Also, I think it would be nice to have a pass-through setting that skips the motion detection thingy altoghether (sorry to say this, but it looks pretty crappy on the screenshots IMO).

Yathosho · 6th August 2003, 14:10

does this only work with webcams or also with (firewire) dv cams?

Hi,
RGB32 is indeed no 'real' issue other than we have to code it for the camera (and we just ain't got the time right now) and 8bit data is for faster 'grey-scale' only operations, if we should ever need them.

Again with the other formats, it's stuff we want to do but just do not have the time yet, and we're kinda hoping others might provide solutions when the library gets released

Can you clarify what you mean about the 'pass-through' idea. We're not entirely sure what you're getting at? And yeah, the screen shots don't do the system justice, but we're not AVS Preset developers and are hoping it's you guys that'll work your magic with the APE

Hi,
It is our plan to look at other feed sources, though it's the engine we're really working on.

If the device has a WDM Device Driver, and supports RGB24, it should, in theory, work fine

I sure hope that you are posting on the behalf of multiple people and not multiple personalities - you seem to be using the words "we", "us" and "our" a lot.

Iceman_jkh · 21st November 2006, 02:50

Are there any other plugins available which do a similar thing to this one ...(ie: process live webcam/video and incorporate it into a Vis)? I like this one, but its a bit dated and crashes a bit

MaTTFURY · 21st November 2006, 05:50

Who revived this thread? DONT!

Nanakiwurkz · 21st November 2006, 21:16

SYFI i've been working with your ape for sometime but i never understood its purpose. are you trying to make a utility that is better then a professional interaction engine or are you doing this for fun.
p.s.
i love the ape.
p.s.s.
i do have one suggestion for you. maybe you should make a version that allows the user to set control points and allows the ape to detect certain values and makes a special effect for said value. heck maybe even make it write to a megabuf or somethin. or try making it have dynamaic movement like abilitys so you can program effects that the ape can render directly on the image being rendered.

MaTTFURY · 22nd November 2006, 05:15

Please look at the date, 08-07-2003, he's not going to respond!

Iceman_jkh · 22nd November 2006, 05:24

I revived the thread for an answer from other members, not the original author. Its pertinent to this thread, as I want a similar plugin to this one - hence if you know this plugin, you know what it does and then you know what sort of plugin I want.

MaTTFURY · 22nd November 2006, 06:20

It's bloody annoying and is one of the reasons I was once banned!

Warrior of the Light · 22nd November 2006, 06:28

mattfury, if you're annoyed by it then at least answer his question, even if it's just to get it over with. No is a simple answer. It's just iJen APE and iris APE, with iris being somewhat newer but still outdated.
new download link here

Iceman_jkh · 22nd November 2006, 09:08

Thanks warrior. I have seen the website already, and was hoping for some alternatives which also used realtime video feeds.

If there are none.. then there are none.
You're right.. there wasnt a need for his tantrum.

Mahem911 · 22nd November 2006, 10:14

We (SYFi) are still here

We are planning to re-visit our APE early next year; we can do a lot of new things now and can make this much better and much more powerful

We have just been a little busy over the last few years developing a new type of interactive 3D autostereoscopic screen & Interactive dance development environments.

Hi Nanakiwurkz

When we were training some of our new developers in our technlogy we gave them our training engine called iJen.

iJen is given to our new developers that join us, it is not powerful at all, iJen is basic and simple and gives developers an easy learning curve on how to create interactive applications and games before developers move up and use our bigger professional interactive development engine Plato (Plato is used in many commercial systems that are on the market today, but you wouldnâ€™t know that it our technology behind powering it).

We set a few of our new developers the APE project as it was a good way of them learning how to implement and embed our technology into a commercial application. We never realised how popular it would actually be. in total I think we have had in excess of 250,000 downloads.

So now you know that we created the APE as a training exercise.

Regards
Matt
SYFi

Nanakiwurkz · 25th November 2006, 00:19

is it possible to make the games run in 16bit modes instead of 32 bit? because i use 16 bit and the games work but not very good quality.

Are you are talking about our games on our archives website or are you talking about the APE???
