mjpg streamer: localhost:8080 connection refused.

Post by elitenoobboy »

After following the instructions for using mjpg_streamer from the wiki, I can launch the command and it seems to work, though the prompt returns immediately:

$ ./mjpg_streamer -i "input_uvc.so -r 320x240 -f 6" -o "output_http.so -p 8080" -b
enabling daemon modeforked to background (31909)

When I try accessing 127.0.0.1:8080, I get a connection refused message. The firewall has that port open, and regular port 80 works for apache.

Valid url is 127.0.0.1:8080/?action=stream

I tried that, but it looks like the streamer isn't running.

I've included a full install of Mjpg_streamer to include all plugins, sample www directory, and also a complete GUI frontend on the desktop called StreamMinder on my Zoneminder 1.24.x install DVD.

You can view 127.0.0.1:8080 if you specified the www directory. This gets you a nice webpage with your camera stream plus a complete control panel to manage the Orbit AF if you need it. I submitted the mjpg_streamer control file to Phil awhile back so it's included in 1.24 by default. I didn't create the file, just motivated someone else to pickup where he left off.

I'll give you a free key if you want to install this dvd,
