Hi,

Thanks alot for all this amazing job :). I dont have a raspicam but i want to try to use my hp cam. In the profile file i didnt understand what to change to make my cam works. Is it possible to share a profile file with this change?

Many thanks. cheers

@bverissimo Have a look at what careyer has done using gstreamer: https://github.com/bortek/EZ-WifiBroadcast/issues/71

Search for "AirPi: gst-launch-1.0" within the issue and take a look at their pipeline setup. You should be able to open your webcam using gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src...

You will change need to change where raspivid is being piped into tx_rawsock in the .profile file once you get your pipeline working/tested.

@nsimon1 Thank you so much to point me in the right direction :). I will try to make this work because ezwifibroadcast is amazing from what i see in youtube.

I have never used a webcam, so cannot really help much. The commented out v4l-ctl line and the line below in the .profile script in the tx_function are left from some tests I made with video4linux and the rasperry cam, maybe you can use or change them for your webcam.

Hi rodizio1,

I have a system working with various webcams and sport cams using usb and all working great with gstreamer using wireless. But ezwifibroadcast is way much better from what i've seen, i manage to open the profile. but to much variables to understand where is what at first glance...ill try to achive it...if somebody kindly share a profile. working with c920 or other usb camera is a good start to make it simple.

thank you for the hard work.

cheers
