Problem with VLC webcam streaming.

[d3v1ous]

Hello im trying to stream my webcam over the network. I use v4l2 driver.

The command line i use is:

cvlc -vvv v4l2:// :v4l2-vdev=/dev/video0 :v4l2-adev=/dev/dsp :v4l2-standard=0 :sout="#transcode{vcodec=mp1v,vb=900,scale=1,acodec=mpga,ab=129,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=std{access=http,mux=asf,dst=0.0.0.0:1234}}"

I ran debian lenny server (without X). I have compiled vlc with v4l2 support. So the errors is:

[0x9978410] stream_out_transcode stream out error: cannot find video decoder
[0x9978410] stream_out_transcode stream out error: cannot create video chain
[0x997cd60] main packetizer error: cannot create packetizer output (MJPG)

What i should do to prevent this?

Maybe this will be usefull information:

[0x98fb8a8] main libvlc debug: VLC media player - version 1.0.4 Goldeneye - (c) 1996-2009 the VideoLAN team
[0x98fb8a8] main libvlc debug: libvlc was configured with ./configure '--enable-v4l' '--enable-v4l2' '--disable-nls' '--disable-mozilla' '--disable-dbus' '--disable-dbus-control' '--disable-telepathy' '--disable-lua' '--disable-cdda' '--disable-vcd' '--disable-dvb' '-disable-libcddb' '-disable-x11' '--disable-glx' '--disable-opengl' '--disable-xvideo' '--disable-xvmc' '--disable-freetype' '--disable-fontconfig' '--disable-fb' '--disable-qt4' '--disable-skins2' '--disable-sdl' '--disable-sdl-image' '--disable-notify' '--disable-libgcrypt' '--disable-mad' '--disable-avcodec' '--disable-avformat' '--disable-swscale' '--disable-postproc' '--disable-a52' '--disable-remoteosd'

Thanks.

You did not include any MJPEG decoder in your VLC build.

Can you tell me how to do this.. sorry for stupid question.

Ok, can somebody tell me what arguments to use to configure VLC-nox from source with v4l2 support??? Thanks

--enable-avcodec

I'm using a vlm config, like this:

Code: Select all

new cam1 broadcast enabled setup cam1 input rtsp://admin:admin@192.168.0.164/0 setup cam1 output #rtp{mux="ts",sdp="rtsp://localhost:1234/cam1"} control cam1 play

The MJPG gets streamed just fine, but "mux=ts" cannot mux g726 audio so I get:

Code: Select all

[0x10303f6f0] [Media: cam1] main decoder error: cannot create packetizer output (g726)

If I remove the "mux=ts" from the above, the audio gets streamed just fine but there's no video and I get:

Code: Select all

[0x102a00800] stream_out_rtp stream out error: cannot add this stream (unsupported codec: MJPG) [0x10382faf0] [Media: cam1] main decoder error: cannot create packetizer output (MJPG)

So I have all the codecs and everything required but still getting that error.

Any ideas?

JPEG over RTP output is not implemented yet.
