Can't watch video streamed #61

Closed DarkFighterLuke closed 4 years ago

DarkFighterLuke commented 4 years ago

Maybe the problem is me, but I can't figure out how to watch the streamed video.

I am streaming /dev/video0 which is an easyCAP dongle to capture analog video, everything seems to be fine in the µStreamer console output, but I can't watch the stream neither on VLC nor on ffplay or in an HTML page with a video tag having for source the address of the server. I am trying this on my home LAN, so there shouldn't be problems related to the network. What am I doing wrong?

Show the command line params please. Also specify what it means "can't watch". You see a black screen, or you can't connect to ustreamer at all?

Hi, thank you for your answer. The command is: ./ustreamer --device=/dev/video0 --host=0.0.0.0 --port=8080 --encoder=omx --workers=3 --persistent --drop-same-frames=30

I can't connect to ustreamer at all.

Try http://ip:8080/stream in your browser. It should work. Otherwise it may be related with firewall or some local issues.

Now it works, thank you!

However I reinstalled dietpi on the raspberry pi running ustreamer and now I am not able to use the omx encoder... Both root and dietpi users are in the video group and all the indicated libraries are installed.

INFO [64.806 stream] -- Initializing OMX ... -- ERROR [64.806 stream] -- Can't initialize OMX: OMX_ErrorHardware -- INFO [64.806 stream] -- Destroying OMX encoder ... Segmentation fault

The OMX setting is a separate song. But you don't need OMX for easycap, --encoder=cpu is enough by power. You can try --encoder=hw.

Thank you very much, everything is working now!

I think it could be useful for someone like me to know that it is necessary to use thre stream endpoint, maybe it can be added to te README 😃 .

Wonderful project in any case 😆
