fpp-Capture

[DesignTagline]

Hello All,

I made some feature requests around the FPP-Capture plugin and its lack of Web UI which makes the learning curve for use of the plugin a little higher than others.

I am not a developer so i didn't really know where to start but after a couple weeks of late night ChatGPT sessions I've managed to produce something that comes close to fulfilling my needs.

Introducing FPP Capture UI (modified version of the FPP-capture plugin created by the great dkulp.

During recording.

Now before you get too excited there are two things I am scratching my head over.
1. Auto page refresh (I stupidly tried session_start() which having looked at common.php was not a wise call and would have caused issues
2. Duration of recording. I can get this to work but it tries to use the local time and has a bit of a calculation overhead that I would like to avoid  (Resolved!) Currently using a temporary JSON file to log this that is deleted after the recording has stopped. My next GIT update will contain this fix

If anyone has any feedback or ways to solve these problems I'd be open to them. There's a pull request but before that is approved I'd suggest someone who knows FPP a bit better than I look over the code

Great start @DesignTagline. I checked out your convo with @dkulp on Github. Did you ever get this working? I'm trying to record from any (non-Xlights) LED mapper, e.g. ELM, MadMapper, etc.
