Hi,
You can start a second instance of Kinovea and have one or two players there.
With the help of replay folder observers you can have these players automatically load the captured videos as they are created. For the case of two capture/two playback you will need to set each capture to save in its own folder, so the corresponding player can monitor that folder without loading the videos from the other.
Let me know if this matches what you were trying to do.

Re: Automatic video editing (1 replies, posted in Ideas and feature requests)
Yes I think there are several machine learning project exploring this, for automated cuts and match summaries for example.
I think it's outside the scope of Kinovea though. But it could be used as a pre-processing step to automatically cut down very long video sessions.

Re: Distortion calibration (2 replies, posted in General)
Hi,
Thanks for reporting about this.
The distortion model is the one from OpenCV.
http://docs.opencv.org/doc/tutorials/ca … ation.html
Kinovea solves for the three coefficients k1, k2, k3 (radial distortion). And the others (p1, p2, tangential distortion, and fx, fy, cx, cy intrinsic parameters).
When you run the calibration the coefficients found will be written in the log and should be available in the camera calibration dialog.
I imagine there are two places where this process could fail, either in the initial calibration, or when applying it.
You may be right that only one view is sufficient. I think the idea with multiple views was to have data in all parts of the image, as if you have only one view there might be corners with no data if the pattern filmed is at an angle. I'm not sure why it would fail with multiple views though, it worked in the past. I'll have to retry it.
It should also be possible to automatically find the corners in the image and avoid the whole process of manually placing them.
You can also tweak the coefficients manually to find a good fit. In this case usually only k1 and k2 are used.

Re: Order videos by creation time (3 replies, posted in General)
adding the option of order by creation time will make it much more user friendly.
Yes, this should be doable, I'll see to add this.
I think it is better to contact support directly
This forum is the best way for this type of topics.

Re: real-time tracking (2 replies, posted in General)
You can change the width of the lines, you need to edit the tool file though. I admit it's a bit thick.
Go to the program files and find \DrawingTools\Custom\openpose_body25.xml
In the section <Segments>...</Segments> find & replace width="4" by width="1" or something.
Unfortunately I can't really integrate OpenPose directly into Kinovea as it's only available for "academic or non-profit organization noncommercial research use" (per their license), which is incompatilbe with open source software.
And last time I looked the other projects doing posture estimation were also restricted to research purpose only for some reason.
Some more info about OpenPose in the documentation: https://www.kinovea.org/help/en/annotat … _data.html
Yes tracking is only done on the final video.

Re: automatically switching between capture and replay (1 replies, posted in General)
Hi, check the feature called Replay folder observers:
https://www.kinovea.org/help/en/capture/replay.html
The way it works in Kinovea is that you point the player to a directory instead of a file, and it will monitor that directory and automatically load and play any new file created in that directory. So you can point it to where the capture instance is saving the files and it should create such a capture-playback feedback loop. For two-camera system you'll need to configure the capture to save into different folders so each player loads the matching one.
Another way if don't care about archiving each swing is to use the delay feature. If you set it to 5 seconds or so, you can just look at the capture screen for an instant live replay.

Re: two separate default workspaces? (2 replies, posted in General)
Hi,
Yes, this should work out of the box. Each instance has its own preferences file. When you click on the menu Options > Workspace > Save as default workspace, it saves the workspace directly in that instance's preferences files. So if you do that on your second instance, it will save it for your second instance only. Each instance will now have its own startup workspace.
If you want to experiment and backup your original workspace, you can go to Help > Open log folder to open the directory where the preferences are saved. You should see a "Preferences.xml" which is the master one, and "Preferences.2.xml" for your second instance (or another name if you start the instance with the name flag). You can copy the "Preferences.xml" somewhere else to back it up and then experiment with saving default workspace in various instances.
Another way with more control is to save the workspaces in external files instead of directly in the preferences, by using the menu "Export workspace". In this case you can create shortcuts in Windows for each instance and have them use a specific name and workspace file. This way it it's more explicit and doesn't rely on the sequence of launch.

Re: File type and Frame Increments (1 replies, posted in Bug reports)
Hi,
I need to re-test this on various players on modern Windows. VLC media player should work. I'm not sure why Windows Media Player doesn't work.
It seems the videos are exporting to windows media player instead of an MTS file.
I'm not sure what you mean here. Kinovea will export to AVI, MKV or MP4, using MJPEG codec. If the resulting video tries to opens with Windows Media Player it's most likely because it's the program associated with the chosen extension. Most probably the target player doesn't support the format or codec. I'm pretty sure Windows Media Player doesn't support MKV unless you install third party support.
Please send a sample video by link here or privately by email, thanks.

Re: Lingua italiano (1 replies, posted in Bug reports)
Ciao,
Quando la versione 0.9.5 è stata publicata la traduzione al'italiano era troppo incompleta (in particolare il menu principale ed il player). È per questo che l'opzione non era disponibile nell'interfaccia. Diverse persone hanno lavorato a completare la traduzione e sara disponibile nella prossima versione.
(Scusatemi per le errore di lingua, ovviamente non è stato io a fare la tradduzione dell'interfaccia :-)).

Re: Version of Kinovea for Windows 11 (1 replies, posted in Bug reports)
Hi, it works out of the box on a Windows 11 PC with an Intel or AMD x64 processor.
I'm assuming you have a new Mac with an Apple M1 ARM processor so parallels will run Windows for ARM and then there is a second layer of emulation to run Windows x64 programs like Kinovea. I don't have a Mac computer and I can't test any of this. So far no one has been able to make it work as far as I know.

Re: Position of the calibration grid (both in pixels and in cm) (2 replies, posted in Ideas and feature requests)
Hi,
Right now there is no way to get this from the user interface.
If the calibration is static (the grid is not moving), then the corners of the grid can be found in the KVA file in the "Calibration" block. This has the coordinates of the grid quadrilateral in image space in pixels. The vertices are named ABCD starting at the corner in the top-left (for the default grid placement) and going clockwise. In other words the direction vectors are always X-axis: DC, Y-axis: DA.
For a moving calibration it's more complicated. I should probably just allow pixels as a "metric" in the units selector. I'll check if that works without side effects.

Re: [AXIS P1375] Connecting IP cameras with desktop device (1 replies, posted in Cameras and hardware)
As far as I understand you need to connect to the camera once from a normal browser to set up the root password. Previously these cameras could be used without password or with the default root password but apparently they changed that because too many devices were opened on the Internet.
From here:
Modern access procedure (default user with no password)
With the updated access procedure in place, the VAPIX and ONVIF interfaces have been disabled and the root user’s password is no longer set in factory default state when shipped from production. This means that it’s no longer possible for a client to access or configure the device out-of-the-box without activating VAPIX or ONVIF first.
And from here:
- Open a browser and enter the IP address or host name of the Axis device.
- If you access the device for the first time, you must set the root password.
Let us know if that works.
