pyoscvideo 0.2.0

pyOscVideo
pyOscVideo is a multi-video recorder and player controllable via Open Sound Control (OSC).
The main purpose is to record video from multiple cameras synchronized with another source, for instance, another software recording audio. Since recording multiple videos in high resolution is a demanding task for the hardware, other tasks (audio recording, sensor data recording, measurements, dsp, etc.) can be performed on a separate computer and synchronized via OSC over the network.
pyOscVideo currently does not support Windows, recording of multiple high definition videos on GNU/Linux might depend on your build of OpenCV.
pyOscVideo is developed within the research project "Social interaction through sound feedback – Sentire"
Install notes
You should be able to install directly from PyPI:
pip install pyoscvideo
Please note that you will need to install VLC for the player functionality.
Usage
After installing you can run it by typing:

You can control both the recorder and the player via OSC or using the GUI.
