Jitter/ Lag Issue with mjpg-streamer

crispyoz — Mon, 19 Dec 2022 14:04:45 GMT

@Antony in the absence of any other feedback my thoughts are as follows: Are you on wifi or ethernet? When you are experiencing jitter, run traceroute to see if there is a bottleneck at some point in the route between your device and source of the stream. When you experience jitter, what is the resource load on your device? I'd start with the top command to understand if there is CPU or memory issue you can identify. Or perhaps there is another process that is consuming resources and in so doing starving the streaming process (CPU, mem, network etc).

Webcam detected but not streaming

Hi everyone!

I followed several tutorials over the web but I couldn't get my SQ11 Webcam to work. I'm working on an Omega2 with firmware version 0.3.2 b233.

When I run ls /dev/v* it returns among other stuff /dev/video0, so I guess the camera is detected successfully. I also tried the SQ11 previously on my computer, it works.

I tried several things:

Run mjpg_streamer -i "input_uvc.so -r 1280x720 -f 15 -d /dev/video0" -o "output_http.so -p 8080 -w /www/webcam", I get the output:

MJPG Streamer Version.: 2.0
 i: Using V4L2 device.: /dev/video0
 i: Desired Resolution: 1280 x 720
 i: Frames Per Second.: 15
 i: Format............: JPEG
 i: TV-Norm...........: DEFAULT
Unable to set format: 1196444237 res: 1280x720
 Init v4L2 failed !! exit fatal
 i: init_VideoIn failed

Run mjpg_streamer -i "./input_uvc.so -f 30 -r 1280x720 -d /dev/video0" -o "./output_http.so -w ./www -p 8080" -b and it returned

enabling daemon moderoot@Omega-XXXX:~# forked to background (7126)

But when I went to http://192.168.3.1:8080/?action=stream it gave me an ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED error.

Run mjpg_streamer -i "/usr/lib/input_uvc.s -d /dev/video0" -o "output_http.so -p 8080", getting the output

MJPG Streamer Version.: 2.0
ERROR: could not find input plugin
       Perhaps you want to adjust the search path with:
       # export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/plugin/folder
       dlopen: Error loading shared library /usr/lib/input_uvc.s: No such file or directory

I even tried making a simple photo with fswebcam --no-banner -r 1280x720 `date +"%Y-%m-%d_%H%M%S"`.jpg, but I got the error

--- Opening /dev/video0...
Trying source module v4l2...
/dev/video0 opened.
No input was specified, using the first.
Unable to find a compatible palette format.

Is there any kind soul who could help a noob out? I would be very thankful, as I'm very lost and frustrated, and I don't know what else to try.

Kind regards,
Beto

mjpg-streamer don't worked

I would do streaming video over Wi-Fi as there: https://onion.io/streaming-video-over-wifi/. But it don't worked. I enter http://omega-xxxx.local:8080/?action=stream, but video don't showing.

Camera is working, I sense how it heats up.

Compiling newest commit of mjpg-streamer 1/25

Michael McKenna — Fri, 09 Feb 2018 19:20:09 GMT

I've been running into an issue with mjpg-streamer that was solved in their most recent commit (15d ago) and I need that commit compiled for the omega2+. Is anyone already working on this? I haven't cross compiled anything before.

Webcam Stream and GPIO access at the same time?

Douglas Kryder — Wed, 25 Oct 2017 16:20:05 GMT

@James-Harding i'd guess the mjpg_streamer is using most of available current, causing dht sensor to error state and would increase available current for dht sensor or pin20 also used by mjpg_streamer.

Problems installing mjpg-streamer

Re: Webcam?

Will appreciate your help with getting my camera working on the Omega2+
Reading the older thread I tried to install the mjpg-streamer with opkg. The installation failed with the error message that a dependency is missing for libc *
Any idea where I can find this package? Couldn't find anything on Google

Thanks!

Mini Wireless HD Webcam

I am very impressed with this project, but I wonder Why there is so expensive camera used (over $100)? Is there a special feature you wanted to use? My second question is - will you public more details on this project? Do you use mjpeg-streamer? As I have read it has some bugs, so maybe that's why camera broadcast freezes? Thanks in advance for every answer!

What can I do to get a webcam running?

@Chris-McCaslin When I was having this problem it was suggested by @administrators they would add drivers for more cameras don't know what happened to that process.

Taking single images from webcam: Less bizarre way of doing it?

Benjamin Rau — Sun, 03 Apr 2016 10:26:54 GMT

@Alan-Smith I think thats the way how you shot images with webcams - thats why i decided to use gphoto2 library to shot photos from a camera. Well, that wont be an alternative for you if you need to take videos also. Anyway it may be worth to have a look on the library because some webcams are supported also: http://www.gphoto.org/doc/remote/ https://community.onion.io/topic/612/remote-control-camera-with-gphoto2 Cheers Ben
