Picam-server works great out of the box. Nevertheless it would be nice to have a little more information, namely on how to change settings. Took me a couple of hours to figure out where to look: /home/pi/picam-streamer/lib/server.js Thanks for the hard work! Very much appreciated!

I am starting to use this for a RPi0w and am curious how to set default values at launch. My camera seems to have too much red so all the colors are off. Everything is pinkish purple.

@jpt000 Sorry, I missed your message!

@kerwinf You might want to set white balance using picam's --wb <value> option. You can add picam options by editing line 44 of /home/pi/picam-streamer/lib/server.js like this:

    picam = child_process.spawn('nice', ['-n', '-20', 'ionice', '-c1', '-n0', 'sudo', '-u', "#" + PICAM_UID, PICAM_PATH, '--rtspout', '--alsadev', 'hw:1,0', '--wb', 'fluorescent' ], {

See https://github.com/iizukanao/picam#command-options for the list of picam options.

You have done a really great job. I finally got my picam running after trying for some weeks in my freetime. But I still struggle to rotate the picture. I have added the '--rotation 180' to the server.js file, but it seems not working. I even tried to put it in brackets <>. So I will be thankful for any tip ;-) And maybe some very basics for the most, but how can I restart picam-streamer via ssh without rebooting? Thanks in advandce

@TomTomCountry Hi, thanks for using picam-streamer! sudo service picam-streamer restart will do the job!

iizukanao commented 2 years ago

As for rotation, could you share the line you have edited?

TomTomCountry commented 2 years ago

Hi @iizukanao sure, here is the line for the rotation picam = child_process.spawn('nice', ['-n', '-20', 'ionice', '-c1', '-n0', 'sudo', '-u', "#" + PICAM_UID, PICAM_PATH, '--rtspout', '--alsadev' , '--rotation 180', 'hw:1,0'], { Thanks for your fast response :)

@TomTomCountry You have to write '--rotation', '180' instead of '--rotation 180'. Also, there must be 'hw:1,0' right after '--alsadev', so put '--rotation', '180' at the very end of the arguments.

picam = child_process.spawn('nice', ['-n', '-20', 'ionice', '-c1', '-n0', 'sudo', '-u', "#" + PICAM_UID, PICAM_PATH, '--rtspout', '--alsadev', 'hw:1,0', '--rotation', '180'], {
