Cine Fox

Appearance

Software ​

Install Cine-Fox in your Pi5.

Overview ​

soft

Install Cine Fox on your Pi. After installation, you can use USB network tethering to access the Cine Fox webUI interface on your mobile phone using a browser.

For Android users, I recommend installing Android App, which can directly open the WebUI, saving the time of opening the browser and entering the URL.

WARNING

The installation process may be a bit troublesome, which requires some patience. In the near future, I will make an .img to facilitate direct flashing of cine-fox

Install Software ​

Step1: Prepare cinepi-sdk ​

  1. unzip or use software like Belena Etcher to flash the cinepi-sdk-001.zip directly to a micro-sd card. After plugging in the Raspberry Pi, turn it on and plug in the network cable.

TIP

The following commands need to be executed using SSH.

  • On Windows, use win+R to enter cmd to enter the terminal. enter ssh pi@cinepi.local and type 1.
  • On MacOS, open the terminal tool, enter ssh pi@cinepi.local and type 1.
  1. Since the current cinepi-sdk image is a pre-release version, some functions need to be fixed. Cine-Fox/cinepi-raw is the version I have fixed. You need to overwrite it.
shell
cd cinepi-raw
git remote add cinefox https://github.com/Cine-Fox/cinepi-raw.git
git remote remove origin
git remote rename cinefox origin
git fetch --all
git reset --hard origin/cinepi-sdk-001
cd ~
  1. run command to recompile
shell
./compile-raw.sh
  1. If everything is normal, update ./run-raw.sh
shell
sudo nano run-raw.sh

# and modify the command like this:
cinepi-raw --post-process-file ~/post-processing.json -n --mode 2028:1520:12:U --width 1280 --height 720 --lores-width 1280 --lores-height 720
  1. run cinepi-raw again
shell
./run-raw.sh

Step2: Install Cine-Fox ​

  1. Open another terminal, and download cine-fox
shell
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Cine-Fox/cine-fox.github.io/main/docs/public/cine-fox

Or you can click here to download manually and send it to your pi

  1. run command
shell
sudo chmod 777 cine-fox
sudo ./cine-fox

TIP

if you use without CFE Hat, you should run sudo ./cine-fox --cfe-hat=false

  1. open your browser and type <your-pi-ip>:5678/web
  2. After testing all functions, you can add a service to automatically start cinepi-raw and cine-fox when the Raspberry Pi is boot. 👇

Run Cine-Fox when boot ​

  1. Run command
shell
sudo nano /lib/systemd/system/cine-fox.service
  1. Enter the following
shell
[Unit]
Description=Cine Fox Service
After=multi-user.target

[Service]
Type=idle
ExecStart=/home/pi/cine-fox
User=root
Group=root
StandardOutput=syslog
StandardError=syslog

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

TIP

if you use without CFE Hat, you replace /home/pi/cine-fox to /home/pi/cine-fox --cfe-hat=false

  1. Run command
shell
sudo chmod 777 /lib/systemd/system/cine-fox.service
sudo systemctl enable cine-fox.service
  1. Do the same thing with cinepi-raw.service
shell
sudo nano /lib/systemd/system/cinepi-raw.service
shell
[Unit]
Description=CinePi Raw Service
After=multi-user.target

[Service]
Type=idle
ExecStart=/home/pi/run-raw.sh
User=pi
StandardOutput=syslog
StandardError=syslog

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
shell
sudo chmod 777 /lib/systemd/system/cinepi-raw.service
sudo systemctl enable cinepi-raw.service
  1. reboot

Without CFE Hat ​

if you use cine-fox without CFE Hat, you need to mount SSD to /media/RAW manually.
