view UDP output? #2

Open jonbjohns opened 1 year ago

jonbjohns commented 1 year ago

using liveView.py. I get feedback that my camera is unlocked and the live view stream starts, but I've been unable to view it.

I tried the capture example ffmpeg -i 'udp://224.0.0.100:10101?&localaddr=10.100.1.100' -vcodec copy output.mp4

I get a large response. it seems like it is going, but I don't see a file generated where I triggered the command:

I also tried using VLC and got nothing back. I've tried 

udp://224.0.0.100:10101
udp://10.100.1.100
udp://10.100.1.100:5678

based on the examples in liveView.py and got no response

Thanks for trying it out!

Live view images/video is transmitted over multicast UDP which can be tricky to set up correctly on the client side and can be buggy. That ffmpeg command should work , but can be unstable (and might also depend on the firewall settings).

Are you on linux ? If you can start wireshark listening on the wifi interface , you should be able to see the packets, to at least confirm that the camera is transmitting.

Alternatively, trying a couple of times might get it working.

I'll try to make a custom client/script that does it correctly when I get some more free time.

i'm on windows.

Ah, ok. I'll give it a try on Windows to see if it will work. As I mentioned, multicast UDP can be problematic due to many reasons.
