Webcam Streaming not working

Hello!

We are trying to stream a webcam in our local network via the raspberry pi. We use the following script:

Code: Select all

sudo aptitude install libv4l-0
ls /dev/video0
wget http://www.bobtech.ro/get?download=36:mjpg-streamer-rpi
mv get\?download\=36\:mjpg-streamer-rpi mjpg-streamer-rpi.tar.gz
tar -zxvf mjpg-streamer-rpi.tar.gz
cd mjpg-streamer
sudo nano mjpg-streamer.sh
./mjpg-streamer.sh start

(from http://www.bobtech.ro/tutoriale/raspber ... spberry-pi)
Basically it works but the picture flickers (parts of the image are replicated and shifted, see screenshot). We are using this camera: logitech quickcam communicate stx
Furthermore we tried to troubleshoot the problem: the webcam works perfectly on our main computer and the raspberry pi must have enough power, because we shorted the USB fuses and we used a bigger power supply (1.5A).

What causes that flickering and what can we do to avoid that?

Regards,
Daniel and Nico

try the new version (same commands as above, it's already updated on the site)
but enable the YUV option in the script and let me know if this fixes it

Hello, i'm french.
I use "Motion" on wheezy for my webcam streaming. It works very good and it's easy.

Bye

Hi!

I bought a Microsoft HD-5000 Webcam with better quality, and now the streaming works without artifacts. But now, the frame rate is pretty low (3-5fps), and it doesn't change when lowering the resolution. The frame rate was very good (over 20fps) with the old camera tough.

Any ideas how to increase it (of cause i increased the frame rate in the settings)?

bye

Shameful plug, my bad....

Did this exact thing a few days ago, also made init script to start on boot. Enjoy
