A quick update on v0.5.3

Hello,

I want to apologise for how long v0.5.3 is taking. I am tackling core challenges in the codebase and going through some big refactors. It is normal and part of the process, but it is a time consuming step with less visible day-to-day progress.

It is what lets me consolidate the foundations for the features coming next: livestreaming, better tracking, more robust calibration, a more stable and less buggy app, and more.

A lot is happening in parallel too. I have trained a very promising AI model for football/soccer tracking, on par with leading commercial autocam systems. And for the past few months we have been working on an affordable, high-quality hardware solution that we are very excited to share with you soon.

Thank you for all your feedback, code contributions, and testing. It is what truly shapes the journey. Stay tuned.

Thank you for your job. Big things need patience and we know that you are doing things every day.

All these new features looks very promising. I hope I can test it soon :star_struck:

I´m really looking forward to it! :slight_smile: Could you maybe explain how the livestreaming will be working? i´m looking to build my own setup, but i´m unsure about the hardware (like using my old iphones with camo (if thats possible) or buying 2 new USB kameras etc.).

I already tried the reco-gui-v0.5.3, but i cant use that at all because i cant build the needed DLL´s with cargo (like gstreamer for livestreaming etc.), so i cant test my setups

I will tell you more once I’ll have studied it a bit more.

But I can confirm that phones will work. USB cameras too probably.

I never tried Gstreamer outside Linux. Maybe that’s why you don’t find its corresponding DLLs.
It’s not (yet?) integrated in GUI.

Livestream with the new smooth look ahead tracking would be amazing. Will wait and see what hardware is needed to support it.

That all sounds great. I was thinking about purchasing some cameras to try Reco out - do you think this hardware solution is coming soon enough for it to be worth holding off for?

Hello @Mayo,
Thank you for considering the hardware solution.

In one or two days an official announcment will be made about that. Then you can decide whether you’ll consider it, or go with action cameras.

Thanks :slight_smile:

v0.6.0 should be released in the next 10 days!

Hi mohamedtahaguelzim, any rough ETA for v0.6.0? And any changelog or highlights we can look forward to — new features, fixes, or breaking changes? No pressure, just curious. Thanks!
