MMM-Selfieshot: High resolution for selfie

@bhepler
I have one thing to discuss with u. Recently Raspberry changed its default camera stack to “libcamera” with modern and advanced spec.
However libcamera doesn’t support macos or old rp, so new independent module might be needed. -
@MMRIZE - Hrm. It doesn’t support old RPi? How old are we talking about? I can kind of understand if it doesn’t support the original, but the big question is does it support the RPi 3A/B+. IIRC, that’s the most popular hardware for the mirrors.
-
@bhepler not for the rpi hw itself(os update be needed) but for the new compatible cams.
If someone has rpi zero and camera module 2, legacy raspicam stack will still work, but for the new 16MP cam, libcamra would be needed. -
First: Rotation feature has been merged into the latest version.
@MMRIZE - Heh. So if someone uses the least powerful RPi with the most powerful camera, it may not work. Okay, not unexpected but yeah I could see how that would be a common combination.
Do you have a link where I can research the situation? I hate to pester you with dumb questions. I would rather do my research and then discuss strategies with you rather than me posting a lot of stuff here just to clarify our vocabulary.

@bhepler Thanks for your efforts and I already replied via github! You guys rock, while my competencies are definitely more on the hardware/building side :see-no-evil_monkey:
