PICAMERA stream

L_i_v_e · Aug 5, 2016, 11:17 AM

Hi i’d like to have a picamera stream in the mirror, under the compliment text. I currently use 2 raspi, one will stream, the other is where i host the server, but i can simply use the same for both recording and creating the server, to be opened from the other pi. As streamer i use RPi Cam Control v6.2.11 but i can use any other. I have no clue of how to do it, can you advice me please? Thanks

Ok, so i have to merge those two codes to make stuffs work:
The idea is to have a stream as wide as the vertical display at the current place of the “message module”. Is anyone with a suggestion on how to make it work? Tomorrow i’ll start the trials.

php:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>RPi Cam Preview</title>
    <script src="script_min.js"></script>
  </head>
  <body onload="setTimeout('init();', 100);">
    <center>
      <div><img id="mjpeg_dest" /></div>
    </center>
 </body>
</html>

js:

var mjpeg_img;
 
function reload_img () {
  mjpeg_img.src = "cam_pic.php?time=" + new Date().getTime();
}
function error_img () {
  setTimeout("mjpeg_img.src = 'cam_pic.php?time=' + new Date().getTime();", 100);
}
function init() {
  mjpeg_img = document.getElementById("mjpeg_dest");
  mjpeg_img.onload = reload_img;
  mjpeg_img.onerror = error_img;
  reload_img();
}

Ok, so my cam have two pure streams:
http://192.168.0.101/html/cam_pic_new.php
which is a constant stream (by refreshing the page)
http://192.168.0.101/html/cam_pic.php
which is the latest capture from the camera. So basically i need to set a picture viewer area in the mirror that refresh a lot
any suggestion?

@L_i_v_e It actually sounds like you have static images and not a video stream. It also doesn’t seem to be picamera specific. Have you tried using the Camera module? https://github.com/alexyak/camera

Hi, thanks for the suggestion but i’m not sure it will work. The description says: The webcamera needs to be connected to the Raspberry Pi via USB.
My camera in on another raspberry, so there is no way that this could work.
Anyway i’ll ask to the creator, maybe he knows how to make it work.
