VoCore Forum

Hi Guys..
Would it be possible to stream video to a smartphone/tablet app? What modules would be needed?

Of course, but you have to know video codec first.
Or simplest way is the mjepg-streamer, I have a blog about it. able to view in browser.

Make sure you have mjpeg-capable webcam. Mjpg-streamer currently segfaults and crashes with the -yuv option on VoCore.

It crashes on many routers not just vocore, so don't use YUV format. Use a mjpeg video format instead.
If you need a camera that supports it, a good choice would be the Microsoft Lifecam HD 3000.
Also I'd like to mention there are 3 ways to stream that I know of: mjpg-streamer, gstreamer and ffmpeg.

Regards!

Yep; I have not been able to get yuyv to work on any OpenWRT module; So this isn't a VoCore issue
Any camera that supports UVC + MJPEG should work just fine.

Try this package, it should work with the -y option
http://noblepepper.com/wp/wp-content/vocore-1.0b/packages/mjpg-streamer_r148-4_ramips_24kec.ipk

You should be able to wget it with

Code: Select all

cd /root/
wget http://noblepepper.com/wp/wp-content/vocore-1.0b/packages/mjpg-streamer_r148-4_ramips_24kec.ipk
cd -

and then remove the other one and install it with

Code: Select all

opkg remove mjpg-streamer
opkg install /root/mjpg-streamer_r148-4_ramips_24kec.ipk

. If you get a checksum mismatch just reboot or clear the package list with

Code: Select all

rm /var/opkg-lists/*
