==== Streaming the camera to the network ==== | |||
To stream to web browsers with HLS and x264 encoding, we'll use a tmpfs file system to not write any data to the sdcard in the PineCube. We'll also need a very basic web page in tmpfs, a program to write HLS data to the tmpfs, and finally a webserver to serve the files. | |||
Create the hls directory to be shared in the existing tmpfs file system that is mounted at /dev/shm: | |||
<code>mkdir /dev/shm/hls/</code> | |||
Create an index.html and optionally a favicon.ico or even a set of icons, and then put the files into the /dev/shm/hls directory. An example index.html that works is available in the Getting Started section of the [https://github.com/video-dev/hls.js/#getting-started README] for [https://github.com/video-dev/hls.js/ hls.js]. | |||
In one terminal, run the camera capture pipeline: | |||
<code> | |||
cd /dev/shm/hls/ && | |||
media-ctl --set-v4l2 '"ov5640 1-003c":0[fmt:UYVY8_2X8/240x320@1/15]' && | |||
gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src ! video/x-raw,width=320,height=240,format=UYVY,framerate=1/1 ! decodebin ! videoconvert ! video/x-raw,format=I420 ! clockoverlay ! timeoverlay valignment=bottom ! x264enc speed-preset=ultrafast tune=zerolatency ! mpegtsmux ! hlssink target-duration=1 playlist-length=2 max-files=3 | |||
</code> | |||
In another, run a simple single threaded webserver which will serve html, javascript, and HLS to web clients: | |||
<code> | |||
cd /dev/shm/hls/ && python3 -m http.server | |||
</code> | |||
It should be possible to view the HLS stream directly in a web browser by visiting [http://pinecube:8000/ http://pinecube:8000/] if pinecube is the correct hostname and the name correctly resolves. | |||
It is also possible to view the HLS stream with VLC: <code>vlc http://pinecube:8000/playlist.m3u8</code> | |||
===== Debugging camera issues with the gstreamer pipeline ===== | |||
If the camera does not appear to work, it is possible to change the <code>v4l2src</code> to <code>videotestsrc</code> and the gstreamer pipeline will produce a synthetic test image without using the camera hardware. | |||
If the camera is only sensor noise lines over a black or white image, the camera may be in a broken state. When in that state, the following kernel messages were observed: | |||
