Restart your phone (gst sometimes fails to launch when it's crashed previously)

On your desktop, the sdp file reads:
Code:
v=0
m=video 5000 RTP/AVP 96
c=IN IP4 192.168.1.109
a=rtpmap:96 H264/90000
and on the app on your phone, you've chosen video (this wont work for audio) and the address reads:192.168.1.100, and port reads: 5000.

Then you've clicked stream. After that you've opened the sdp file on your desktop with VLC.

Can you confirm all that in that order?
Again apologies for sounding like a douchebag, I just want to be 100% sure.
ok I just followed your instructions precisely and I also tried booting with a stock kernel, tried a different computer (changed ip for it) still it wont stream for me!

Ah jeez, Im sorry man.
This is beyond me, I wish I knew what was going wrong...
Just uninstall the app before it causes more havoc to your system, and have a go playing around with gst-launch from commandline, as shown in this post:

@leetnoob - it DOESNT? wow, Im so sorry man!
to kill the process run "killall gst-launch-0.10"
nope.. led stays on, gst-launch isn't actually running before the killall. bizzare. i am using power kernel v46 . it does make me wonder if components of the back camera stay running when that's used...

Hmm! Now that could be something!
I'm not using power-kernel, and that maybe the reason for the problems both you and justice4all300 are having....

For now I recommend you uninstall the app before it starts streaming without you knowing.....

@justice4all3000 - are you also using Titan's power kernel?

yes I am but i did try using the stock kernel to see if it made a difference

actually, now i remember. when using a power kernel you have to download different fcam camera drivers as the normal fcam drivers don't work with a power kernel (i.e power kernel 'breaks' your camera). so, even if you revert to a stock kernel you will still probably have the 'newer' fcam drivers. i haven't tried receiving the stream on my pc vlc yet so don't know if it streams, it looks like it's working though as far as the phone side goes.

YES! That sounds like it could be it!
But I have no idea why gstreamer cant use these new drivers...

Well I dont want to break anyone's camera.... I reckon if you guys have power-kernel, you'd better uninstall the app just in case.

But thanks for the feedback all the same!

ok, i can confirm that it DOESNT work for me as well. probably something to do with the power kernel fcam drivers. bummer, it seemed like a useful thing to have. :-(

Re: [Maemo 5] Camera stream from N900 to PC? (N900 as webcam)
 
one possible solution which i'm not going to try but would probably work is to uninstall

blessn900
fcamera
fcam drivers

this may be an issue with these third party apps and not so much the power kernel itself.
