Hi, |
2 |
|
3 |
with guvcview I capture video streams of some birds, which |
4 |
sometime arrive on the roof. |
5 |
When they do I press the record button of the guvcview application. |
6 |
|
7 |
The webcam I use is able to deliver 30fps at 640x320 pixel with audio |
8 |
via usb. |
9 |
Unfortunately while recording nothing else should use the CPU/the IO |
10 |
system heavily otherwise I will get an vi-vi-ddd-d----d-deooo-o--o-o |
11 |
(stuttering performance). |
12 |
|
13 |
In this list I read about ionice and nice, which latter I know before. |
14 |
Form the manpages of both I read, that only root is allowed to give |
15 |
process higher priority than normal. |
16 |
I want to give guvcview high IO- and CPU-priority without the hassle |
17 |
to pickup PIDs and lunch nice/ionice by root-hand after the start of |
18 |
guvcview (user-process). |
19 |
|
20 |
And I am iusing icewm (no KDE/GNOME as desktop) |
21 |
|
22 |
Is there any chance to start guvcview with user rights AND to give the |
23 |
application higer priorities so that whatever guvcview wants from the |
24 |
system will be served as soon as possible to avoid stuttering videos? |
25 |
|
26 |
Thank you very much in advance for any help! |

Have a nice sunday! |
