CU-SeeMe OpenBSD

by Morgan Aldridge morgant@makkintosshu.com

OVERVIEW

This is a faux CU-SeeMe webcam window which I use for my Twitch streams. It's just a wrapper around mpv which I developed under OpenBSD to show the video feed from my USB webcam while forcing a small window size, grayscale video, custom title, and noise filter. It also includes mlvwmrc styles to further mimic CU-SeeMe when running under the MLVWM X11 window manager.

Installation

1. Run make install to install CU-SeeMe to ~/bin, a noise GLSL shader in your ~/.config/mpv/shaders, plus the mlvwmrc pixmap & styles into your ~/.mlvwm directories
2. Edit ~/.mlvwm/apps/.AppsManifest and add a line containing Read .mlvwm/apps/CU-SeeMe. IMPORTANT: It must be after the mpv styles!
3. Restart your mlvwm window manager
