Re: Petition n900 as webcam
 

I've created a tiny set of simple scripts that establishes a live audio/video stream over any available network connection to a given host. No usb connection needed.
They're availabe here. A brief explanation of what which file do:

aplay-net.sh - client-side (reciever) script that listens to a certain port and plays incoming audio.
arecord-net.sh - server-side (n900) script that connects to a given ip/port and streams microphone audio.

gstreamer.sh - client-side (reciever) script that listens to a given port and plays the incoming video with vlc.
gstreamer_server.sh - server-side (n900) script that connects to a given ip/port and streams camera video.
gstreamer.spd - client-side (reciever) vlc configuration file. You have to manually edit this to suit your settings. My file has "127.0.0.1" as the ip, and "31337" as the port, replace these values.

These scripts are a nice base to integrate into a simple python server with very basic frontend (start/stop, clickable VLC config :-)

It would be very useful to be able to make the application !! Some are encouraged to try something?

Still quite a gap to using this stream with MSN or Skype?

Re: Petition n900 as webcam
 

i think the maine use for the 'webcam' here imo would be best used for stuff like msn or aim and video calls and or skype vid calls. that would definitely be used the most. other things it could be used for is like ustream or some kind of live feed with a low quality option since the higher the quality the longer the delay i have noticed just with qik.

Someone can create the application then?

There is an opensource version called smartcam for s60. Its works flawlessly for bluetooth and wifi.

Anyone familar with Symbian might be able to redo the transmission protocol for linux and keep the windows binary.

Re: Petition n900 as webcam
 

there is already a project for the N800. it based on a apache port (for the device) and another lib.

why reinvent the wheel twice and not reuse the existing projects?

Re: Petition n900 as webcam
 

Does this Petitioning thing really works or has any petition out there really get thru and become real.?? or just another thread.. Hmmm!
