Problem with dealextreme webcam

Post by ragb1 »

Hi:

Recently I've bought a webcam from dealextreme, exactly this: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.25948.

For making it work, I installed the mjpg_streamer package and execute the command:

mjpg_streamer -b -i "input_uvc.so -y -d /dev/video0" -o "output_http.so -p 12000"

When I check the camera with the url: http://localhost:12000/?action=stream a frame is displayed in firefox, but no stream. I try to probe the webcam with xawtv and nothing is displayed. But otherwise, when i check the camera with vlc player, the stream is showed in a smooth way.

In ZM I configure the cam with the next options:

General-->Source Type = Remote
Remote-->Remote Host Name=localhost
Remote-->Remote Host Port=12000
Remote-->Remote Host Path=/?action=stream

I tried to change the parameters but the problem remains. I'm using ubuntu 8.04 and zm 1.24.1.

Any one can help me? Thanks in advance.

Best Regards.
