Make the video stream resolution adjustable

[mannebk79]

Using wallpanel, discovered that my nexus 7 2013 will flip its video on its head when changing from portrait to landscape. If I adjust for landscape, portrait is on its head.

also my cams supply 1920x1080 (back) & 1280x768 (front), but the stream only gives 640x480. Would love to be able to adjust that. Like streaming with low resolution and frame rate, but changing over to hi-res and 30fps with motion detected. such stuff....

btw, if you keep up the work, pls provide a way to support your work

i have the same issue of the stream of 640x480 for fire 10 7th and 9th gen, they both stock wise give much better resolutions from the cam to their cam app.

on top of that the picture in wallpannel is so dart is basically unusable. compared with the stock photo app, that is okay, not doing great in dark mode, but okay.

Just to note down here:

I suspect that the issue with this is that the app is still using the very old Camera API instead of using Camera2 or CameraX. Most likely if the app implements the newer APIs it would be a lot better at handling higher resolutions and using features like proper white balancing, etc. However then KitKat support has to be dropped. This has to be looked into this further first.

I am interested in this as well. I load the front camera video stream into go2rtc/ frigate and would love to be able to get full resolution. I am on a Fire HD 8 Karnak with Lineage OS and I believe the front cam resolution is supposed to be 1920x1080. Let me know if you need someone to test. I have three of the same tablets i use as wall panels.
