feat(extension): add timelapse for Moonraker

Open thiccnugget opened this issue 2 years ago • 6 comments

Installing the timelapse component in mainsail for Moonraker is not the easiest thing for everyone.

It would be nice to have an option in Kiauh to automatically install the timelapse component and to generate the configuration for the Moonraker.conf file and the macros for hyperlapse (timed timelapse) and standard timelapse (at layer change).

The end user can then choose to use either hyperlapse or the standard timelapse.

I'm talking about this https://github.com/FrYakaTKoP/moonraker/blob/dev-timelapse/moonraker/components/timelapse.py

Timelapse component is currently in a repository of the mainsail crew. As the installation is similar to other klipper components I think it definitely makes sense to add it to kiauh.

@CODeRUS

which handles timelapse much better than mainsail extension

Can you describe in more detail what you mean by that? I'm happy to improve the plugin. Btw. it's not a mainsail extension, it's a moonraker plugin/component. Mainsail only does integrate it into the Ui.

@FrYakaTKoP it uses opencv for image/video manipulations which is much much more faster and reliable

@CODeRUS that's a fair point, but i took the wget/ffmpeg route, because it has other advantages. I may look into adding a option for opencv backend in future. But since the wget/ffmpeg variant runs pretty good in most cases and even on lowend hardware, i still don't get why refering this point as:

Do you have any other suggestion, i may take on my journey improving the plugin?

@FrYakaTKoP thats okay for me, anyway, if using telegram bot no need to use any additional timelapse functionalities. no doubts can be useful for people who dont want telegram stuff on their printers. and as user i'd like to look at challenge making ultimate timelapse solution guys :))
