Facial recognition

@majik655 I used 4 pics

lol well I just uploaded 17 and im wondering if my PIR sensor or other module configs are stopping this …
I havent figured out yet if the camera is even working good… I am using a usb cam so I have it set to 0 in the config…

But I have a motion sensor, mmm-pages and google assistant and assistant2display which I wonder is causing any issues.

The mirror boots up loads modules and then goes blank because I have all modules set to me (no default or everyone).

I need to figure out how to view live camera… I wish there was a way for the module to test or report what it sees or doesnt see for that matter.

@sdetweil
I finally got it!
I commented out basically everything in my config except for the basics like clock and such…
Nothing was working …
Then I realized the lights on the camera were not turning on when the MM started…which means there was no way it was going to recognize anything if it wasnt even on lol

To get it to work I had to change in the module config

source: 0,

to

source: '/dev/video0',

Which by the info source: 0, SHOULD BE /dev/Video0

Not sure why 0 didnt work but it works now with /dev/Video0!!!

Thank you for listening!

@majik655 nice work!

@sdetweil
Yeah so one thing I have found is it is kind of worthless to have a motion sensor running that hides the modules after 2minutes of no motion…because if you block the sensor once it has closed… it looks like the camera cant turn it back on because the sensor has hidden everything.

I either turn off the motion sensor and rely on the camera all the time …
or
somehow have the motion detection turn on the camera recognition part…recognize then show correct modules.
or
have the recognition…trigger the motion sensor

so many decisions I dont know which to do lol

I wonder how long it takes to encode 5 pics with a rpi4? Encode.py is running for 3 hours now and i hope ther will bee a “Oke ready” thingy.

sdetweil

@Alphons should take like 30 seconds

Alphons

@sdetweil and no “ready” after serializing encodings… message?

sdetweil

@Alphons I don’t remember. I think the encode script just ended when is was done

Alphons

@sdetweil oke, then i did something wrong. Started the encode.py, it sorted the pics en encodes them…for 4 hours now :)
