Re: camera stream from n900 to pc
Qik works fine for me and it's LIVE and you chat too.

Re: camera stream from n900 to pc
This would be a nice app. I would probably be coding something like this at the moment if there was a way for me to develop with QT on my Win7-64bit system (and compile to the device...) But there isn't at the moment, and that makes me a sad boy :)
MADDE is promising, but i couldn't get it to work. Qik is a nice app, but it lacks the camera settings, which makes it a non-optimal solution. |
Re: camera stream from n900 to pc
Now I got a little bit further.
The current idea is to use gstreamer on the n900, set up a server on it (to use it also online, not only in a local network) and on the pc-side use VLC to grab the stream. You can talk to the camera of the N900 via gstreamer, by installing gstreamer-tools Code:
root Code:
gst-launch v4l2src device=/dev/video1 ! autovideosink or Code:
gst-launch v4l2src device=/dev/video0 ! autovideosink For streaming I found this article: http://doit.juii.net/meta/englisch/588 so using VLC on the other end would be the best. No server needed for local network streaming... Stay tuned, or jump in if you want to help to provide a easy-to-use solution to use the n900 as a webcam. |
Re: camera stream from n900 to pc
how do i set up vlc? port & protocol?

Re: camera stream from n900 to pc
this is gonna be great when done : ) love the idea of streaming from an online server, reminded me of american pie :P

Re: camera stream from n900 to pc
I got it to work by doing this:
on the phone Code:
gst-launch v4l2src device=/dev/video1 ! videoscale ! video/x-raw-yuv,width=320,height=240 ! ffmpegcolorspace ! smokeenc ! udpsink host=192.168.1.255 port=1234 on my computer Code:
gst-launch udpsrc port=1234 ! smokedec ! autovideosink |

it works really well in linux! of course one have to replace the ip-address with the one of the own PC. you can also change the resolution. i've tried it with windows gstreamer but no luck so far. i would have packed it then in a nice .exe package (just a batch file) thanks you again! i think we can bring that to a nice multi operating system camera streaming thingi ;) |
Re: camera stream from n900 to pc
Hello every body.
I made to short scripts on bash in order to make the streaming easyer: First on the N900 with root privileges touch /usr/local/bin/stream-gst chmod +x /usr/local/stream-gst vi /usr/local/bin/stream-gst and there write (remeber to press "i" to edit and when you finish press ESC and then "x:" + ENTER ): Code:
#!/bin/sh stream-gst 1 192.168.1.101 In this example you are transmiting from the /dev/video1 (Front Camera) to the computer 192.168.1.101 or You can also steam from the back camera to all the computers on your network by: stream-gst 0 192.168.1.255 Then on the PC (with linux and root privileges) touch /usr/local/bin/get-gst chmod +x /usr/local/get-gst vi /usr/local/bin/get-gs and there write (remeber to press "i" to edit and when you finish press ESC and then "x:" + ENTER ): Code:
#!/bin/sh get-gst 192.168.1.102 It also work on the other way and direction. To see the web cam on yor PC form your N900. See you! Patricio Pd: Sorry for my english |
Re: camera stream from n900 to pc
Thanks!
I'm still trying to get it work for windows users. On Linux it works great (used the previous posted way..) |
Re: camera stream from n900 to pc
When this starts working for windows I can see it being a big hit. I woudl donate for the work on this :-)
