It's relatively easy..
Did you use gstreamer? Can you give us your exact commands?

Also: although I'm using Linux/Unix 99% of my time, I'm still interested to get it working on Windows for that other 1% :S

When I want to use gstreamer I am going to get an error in the dataflow and when I want to use gstreamer AND VLC, it will give me no stream and some ugly errors.

Can you post your exact commands?

You'll have to install gstreamer on your devices, of course...

Hi all,

I managed to use the N900 camera stream to my PC as a webcam (that you can use in other programs such as Skype) on Ubuntu Linux.

It is pretty easy to do using gstreamer, the scripts allready available here and v4l2loopback.

Here is how to do it:

First on your PC install v4l2loopback kernel module and the gstreamer plugin gst-v4l2loopback. These are available on the following links:
https://v4l2loopback.googlecode.com/hg/
https://github.com/umlaeute/gst-v4l2loopback

Good instructions how to compile and run it can be found here:
http://www.kudanai.com/2010/11/howto...webcam-in.html

Once you get this up and running, on your device execute the following code (same as allready posted here)

Code:
gst-launch v4l2src device=/dev/video0 ! videoscale ! video/x-raw-yuv,width=640,height=480 ! ffmpegcolorspace ! smokeenc ! udpsink host=192.168.1.255 port=1234
and then on your PC the following:
Code:
gst-launch udpsrc port=1234 ! smokedec ! ffmpegcolorspace ! v4l2loopback device=/dev/video0
You can use another /dev/videoX device if video0 is for example allready taken.

This will create a new videodevice that shows the N900 camera stream. Now in Skype you can select that video device and here you go!

windows isn't so userfriendly so it will be a bit difficult to make a solution.

Any way to give it a higher birate through gstreamer or something?
Its got lots of pixelation.

Anyone got it working with ffdec_h264?
Everything I try on the n900 basically spits out: could not link videoscale/v4l2src/whatever to ffdec_h264
