*When available* Canon EOS Utility for Linux (Ubuntu)?

[livestreamer]

The open source community kindly requests that Canon EOS Utility and Canon EOS Webcam Utility Beta be made available for connecting Canon Cameras to Linux Operating Systems, such as Ubuntu.

By only delivering value to the Apple and Microsoft ecosystems, you are missing out on the swathes of creators in the Open Source world.

Please... I don't want to go back to Microsoft. I'm a Linux convert now.

It doesn't seem to limit the resolution aside from cropping the image…to a smaller resolution?

This seems like something that could be fixed in a configuration on ubuntu

It has been declared a camera-side limitation, meaning Canon must make such a setting accessible, but they want to force people to use their own software even though their own software doesn't work at all for our OS

People have been waiting ages for this, so it's not helpful to speculate unless you can confirm it can be and show how.

I see, thanks for the explanation. I would remove my comment, but I think yours is valuable and I don't want to delete this thread so I'll keep it unless someone says otherwise.

Although there is no official solution, I created a repository on github that can help you with gphoto2.

I found a video that helped me find a temporary solution that works for me.
