Re: [Maemo 5] Camera stream from N900 to PC? (N900 as webcam)
 

ok, thanks. pity it would have been nice. so power kernel users are out of luck.

Re: [Maemo 5] Camera stream from N900 to PC? (N900 as webcam)
 

ok I have found a workaround that will work with both kernels there seems to be a bug with streaming with the back camera to get around it just follow these steps (assuming you have already created the sdp files)

with the app open select audio
then select video
select front camera
start streaming (test with vlc)
stop streaming
then select back camera
start streaming

this worked for me in the new version

Re: [Maemo 5] Camera stream from N900 to PC? (N900 as webcam)
 

your workaround worked for me too, thank you


EDIT:

after playing a bit with the app i have to say its brilliant!
really really good and useful.

thanks again tetris :)


EDIT2:

One question:
why do we have to enter the pc ip adress? is this for security or do you have to start the stream for this ip? i would like to have remote access to my stream but then it would have to work with dynamic ips

EDIT3:

Ok found out its for the udpsink connection (?) so is there any way to make this accessible to more than one ip?

you have to install expect with apt-get

"apt-get install expect" schould do the trick at least it worked for me

Re: [Maemo 5] Camera stream from N900 to PC? (N900 as webcam)
 

@justice4all -dude you are a ****ing life-saver you know that!?! :D
If that's all that's required for the app to work, then I can probably perform those same workarounds from within the app!!
You sir, are a prince!



Yes! it is possible, but dont expect anything too soon!


@lolloo - yeah that's a dependency problem I need to work on.
When expect is uninstalled - tester is too, but for some reason when tester is installed - it doesn't install expect......

Yeah I haven't solved this problem yet, but I think I know how. Just click on the video/audio combobox again, and it should correct itself.

Re: [Maemo 5] Camera stream from N900 to PC? (N900 as webcam)
 

Depends: expect

in control file to add the dependencie. But what is this expect doing?
The app is working, even with version 1, and I have power-kernel. Ofc I start the stream first and the vlc file second.

Btw, I guess it's better to open a proper topic about the app and move the discussion about it there.

To use it as webcam, there is a post in this topic about using a software to get a portion of the screen as webcam.

Re: [Maemo 5] Camera stream from N900 to PC? (N900 as webcam)
 

uh.. just to be clear, do we enter the ip address of the n900 or the remote pc?

Re: [Maemo 5] Camera stream from N900 to PC? (N900 as webcam)
 

Nice job tetris11_! I run the power kernel and for whatever reason, I don't need any work around....

tnx and kudos to your productive learning curve...

Re: [Maemo 5] Camera stream from N900 to PC? (N900 as webcam)
 

Remote PC.
