Works great, thanks!

Here is a websearch URL for codecheck.info:

A nice plugin which comes to my mind would be a metasearch plugin which just queries all (or a user defined subset) of the available web search URLs in parallel and gathers which are actually returning hits.

Not completely trivial because they usually will return very different "no results" pages...

But maybe a keyword indicating an empty result page per search engine might suffice.

Ok, so the pipeline is currently running at its native framerate and 640x480 resolution (only the middle of which is used for the scanning/display to allow the user to hold the barcode further from the camera).

Therefore there's probably not much I can fix here re. strobing effects. Are these effects severe? I've not really noticed anything.

I guess improvements to the gst elements might yield better performance still if anyone wants to take a crack at them.

I've posted a video showing the artifacts on Flickr:

Look for the green/purple flickering in the top of the scanning widget. This video doesn't show what it at times is like when scanning in darker places, where I often get a white strobe.

Since this is only making the scanning look a bit ugly, I don't think we should give this an high priority unless it's an easy fix.

hmm, yeah that looks like the autofocus at work (and not finding focus - note how the text keeps going into and out of focus).

Perhaps we should alter the continuous autofocus code so that it tries less often if it fails multiple times...? Either that or we need to implement our own autofocus routines

I don't think the artifacts (the green and purple blinking) in the top corners are because of the autofocus. They appeared even before I added the autofocusing. I just got used to them after some time.

The LEDs turning off and on is because of the autofocus, but that doesn't really bother me, because it helps finding barcodes even in the pitch dark (don't know why anyone would do that though ).

If we are able to implement our own autofocus that would of course be the best, but in my opinion it works pretty well now. It does at least take much less time to scan a barcode than when I had to click the refocus button earlier.

Hmm, it's green and purple things is it, interesting, I'll see if I can spot that.

Hi all,
I am developing an application and in my application there is one part that I should search the engine based on its bar code. I examined mbarcode application for N900 in repository and would like to embed it to my application.
I have try this code
https://garage.maemo.org/plugins/scm...=maemo-barcode
It works and I got a plugin installed.
However, sorry for my stupidness but still I could not find out a way to use this plugin in my application.
I think it should be something like:
QRreader reader(myMainApplication);
reader.show();

Any help for sample code please.

What about going the other way round and making your application a plugin that runs within mbarcode?

Otherwise, to use the mbarcode implementation in your app, you'll need to setup the GStreamer pipeline and handle the events coming from the libzbar gst decoder element.

Hi,
Sorry to hassle but please use this thread not other one .
My application is quite complicated and mbarcode should be a part of it.
Can you please give me some guidelines how to do it in the second way.
Please help me with this, I have been struggling with it quite a bit but still not much achievement
Can we have codes somewhere?
