<![CDATA[mjpg_streamer would like to capture stills on SD card]]>I have a streaming webcam using an old logitec webcam and mjpg_streamer -i "input_uvc.so -d /dev/video0 -y" -o "output_http.so -p 8080 -w /www/webcam/". Works fine. I'd like to capture stills to my SD card. Researching the mjpg_streamer parameters, it appeared that mjpg_streamer -i "input_uvc.so -d /dev/video0 -y" -o "output_file.so -f /tmp/mounts/SD-P1/pics -d 5000" would capture a file for me every 5 seconds. However, the opkg build installation did not include (or else I can not file) output_file.so. Anyone know how to build this plug in for mjpg_streamer on the onion?

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/11811685/omega2-stuff/mjpg-streamer_r182-8_mipsel_24kc.ipk

Thanks for the quick reply. I rsync the ipkg to my onion and attempted opkg install:
root@Omega-0000:/www/webcam# opkg install mjpg-streamer_r182-8_mipsel_24kc.ipk
Installing mjpg-streamer (r182-8) to root...
Collected errors:

  • opkg_install_pkg: Package mjpg-streamer sha256sum mismatch. Either the opkg or the package index are corrupt. Try 'opkg update'.
  • opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package mjpg-streamer.

I tried opkg update and then repeated but received the same. Could likely be doing something wrong here (grommet level) so happy to take on the help. Thanks in advance.

Has anyone found the output_file.so?

I wish to capture a images based on a hardware trigger and ftp/email/scp/curl/wsend to a remote server.

I notice that the streamer, once launched, does not return you to the ssh prompt. Does that mean that, if you called it in a script (or python or ruby or..) it would simply get stuck there? I know I can connect using a second ssh connection and from there do a wget http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080/?action=snapshot -o logFile and then examine the log file to find the image name (typically seems to be called index.html?action=snapshot), rename it to a more useful name (e.g. myImage.jpg) and email that. I suppose a second script could be written, and launched via a second ssh session, to do the action=snapshot based on the hardware trigger but this seems rather clunky.

Have you guys come up with something yet?

opkg remove mjpg-streamer
cd /tmp
wget https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/11811685/omega2-stuff/mjpg-streamer_r182-8_mipsel_24kc.ipk
opkg install mjpg-streamer_r182-8_mipsel_24kc.ipk --force-checksum

Just ignore the complaint about checksum-error, it won't match any of the packages you have in the repos, since it comes from my own repo.

Also, you can fork mjpeg_streamer into background by adding -b to the list of parameters you give to it. Just for future reference, it's sometimes helpful to check what parameters an app supports by calling it with --help...

Still an issue. I modified the line added to disftfeeds to reflect mipsel and ran the opkg update. Still got 100's of these type of messages

I have lost mjpg-streamer for some reason but it's weird....
When I try to call it I get a
-ash: mjpg-streamer: not found
But....

root@Omega-xxxx:~# find / -name mjpg-streamer

root@Omega-xxxx:~# opkg list-installed | grep mjpg-streamer
mjpg-streamer - r182-8

I have removed and re-installed. No luck.

Any ideas?

Ooh, HAHA, I'm such a dummy! :rolling_eyes: . the package is mjpg-streamer but the app is mjpg_streamer. 😬
