It works awesome, thank you so much!
Thanks for confirming, checked in for trunk build 6283, release 1.6 build 6284
Now ı have to figure out a way to get this on a android device
There's two simple steps:
1) Confirm whether Android provides a way for an app to directly control a USB device, or, if Android automatically manages PTP devices, whether an app can send arbitrary, non-standard PTP commands.
2) If the answer to #1 is affirmative,
draw the rest of the ****ing owl write an app which implements the live view portion of the CHDK
PTP Extension. You can refer to
chdkptp for a non-Android sample implementation. If you know how to write an Android app and have the required USB access, implementing a basic live view client should be fairly straightforward.
Alternatively, it's possible you could get a regular build of chdkptp to run on a rooted android device, though USB access might still be an issue. There are also some apps that let you run regular Linux stuff without rooting (I have no experience with them, but AnLinux and UserLAnd show up in google results, more
