looking for more recent post (RPI Camra web streamer)

[Applefamily]

I been looking trough (Google-ing) post that seem a bit out of date but Google keeps bringing me to the same few pages. The past week I gain new interest in using the RPI as a Web garage door opener. Many of the WebIOPi tutorials refer to WebIOPi-0.6.0 but it not much stretch to figure -0.7.0 is the more recent and similar functioning. I have had great success in getting in to the sample code include in the install of this package. If I ended it there then all would be fine. Now for the part that's been hanging me up. I would like to use my RPI Camera module as a web steam to the Garage door opener web page. I have had limited success with this get the picture capturing and posting to my Web page using THIS. The trouble is I have to start the process using the console. I have found another post on how to automate this as a start up daemon but have to work through that later. Right now using the mjpg-steamer as set up here it times out and has to be restarted. Raspistill does not have a forever option to capture time laps. Or does it?

The trouble I have found in most cases is finding a tutorial or forum thread that is current. Like in another case during this adventure I though it would be nice to turn off the LED on the camera. Simple found a blog http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewt ... 9&p=355867that guided me to add

Code: Select all

sudo nano /boot/config.txt

then add

Code: Select all

disable_camera_led=1

It worked fine but reading through this May 23, 2013 fourm http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewt ... 9&p=355867 it said this was broken. I have a New install of Raspbian current and up to date and this again works.

So through this rant I ask Current processes to stream still over the web indefinitely using RPI Camera.

Thanks for your input to what I have shared

Think I found a current solution. I found this guy https://miguelmota.com/blog/raspberry-p ... streaming/ basicly talking about the mjpg-streamer but at the end updated to use a new mjpg-streamer-experimental. I played some with this and am testing it now. Just to be sure I was not mixing what i was doing with all the different attempts I stared over. New SD image from scratch. Think though it has real promise. This mjpg-streamer has the raspistill function included.
