Hi. I followed every step as you have described on my intel edison to get a video stream on my browser.
I have used A4 tech USB web cam. the problem is the video displayed in of a still image. it doesn't show live stream.
can u kindly help me in this ?

i want to send a message from index.html to server in edi-cam project

i make a button in index.html
if user push a button and then some message is sended to server
and as message server do something

so i think,

1. fix index.html
2. fix server.js , fix routs.js

? how can user send client's custom message to server?

is this right?

My webcam is Logitech C270 however when i node server.js it only display

WebSocket server listening on port 8084
HTTP server listening on port 8080
Listening for video stream on port 8082

According to your documentation, there is a missing line of
"Stream Connected: 127.0.0.1:52995 size: 320x240"

Also, when i run my web server of http://172.27.152.201:8084 , only a white screen with words "not implemented" is displayed.

Can you suggest where did i go wrong?

Cheers!

Hi,
I have been trying to use your code with the Galileo board. Is there something I should be aware of within the code that's specific to Edison?? I changed to the appropriate repository for opkg and made sure my webcam is compatible with uvc.
When I run server.js everything seems fine, but when I connect to the http server through my pc browser the loading notice shows shortly, and then nothing just a white image. There's no error with the web sockets nor the firewall. Also the led indicator in my webcam only stays on for 1 second or less then it shuts down.
Thanks for your help

Hey,

two minutes after starting the stream the stream freezes due to a timeout. This can be fixed by adding

req.connection.setTimeout(0);

around line 70 of server.js

I'm surprised this has not been noticed yet, has this not happened to anyone else?

Hi Drejkim,
I followed the instructions as per "https://github.com/drejkim/edi-cam/blob/master/README.md", and could get the output only as below:

"WebSocket server listening on port 8084
HTTP server listening on port 8080
Listening for video stream on port 8082"

and nothing else.

Any clue?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I want to add facial recognition to your project, can you guide me to where within the code can I take the frame coming from the stream do the recognition and then display it in the http server?

Thanks

hello,

I tried to run the project with required modifications in
bin/do_ffmpeg.sh , client/index.html , & server/server.js files.
I replaced 320_240 with 640_480 (also tried other combinations)
But now when I run the node server.js , the camera blinks once and then it turns off.
So i cannot get video stream of my desired size.
(I'm using Logitech C270 camera with 1280*720 HD input capacity)
how should I solve this ?

thank you.

Now that I am able to run my server succesfully, do you know the commands to check if my npm is properly installed?

I tried a "npm install" command again instead of the output being up-to-date, it shows me

npm ERR! install Couldn't read dependencies
npm ERR! package.json ENOENT, open '/home/root/package.json'

Hi, i was looking to make a surveillance camera with a public ip but is not working at all. Can you help me with that?

After completing current guide, I successfully got 320*240 live video streaming through Intel Edison.
BUT
1./edi-cam/web/server/server.js
2./edi-cam/web/client/index.html
3./edi-cam/bin/do_ffmpeg.sh
But unfortunately instead of 360p live streaming we got leggy low resolution video.
I use Logitech 720p Camera.
Please help me for Getting 720p live video streaming.

First of all, thanks a lot for this project. I followed the instruction and was able to stream video on browser. This works within same network. How can I make my edison streaming accessible from outside my home network? I want to make a mobile app and stream on the app. Any idea?

Hi, i'm trying to implement screenshots on motion detection using ffmpeg.
I tried several solutions but i'm running into a stumbling block with the right video source. i can't use '/dev/video0' because 'resource is in use (by edi-cam)' and a direct http output isn't working (using http://127.0.0.1:8082). Any ideas ?

Also as this isn't really an "issue" i tried to avoid starting one up, but couldn't find a reliable way to contact you. Thanks

hello, I've successfully got the streaming output of this project on Intel Edison mini breakout board.
I'm using Logitech c270 HD camera, which has input capacity of 720p.

But I got only 320*240 resolution image in browser on http://myedison.local:8080/
what changes should I make to get the 720p output.

thanks.

hello,
first of all i want to thank you for this tutorial. i also want to ask you if you can explain how to from the cloning part an on. i been trying to stream but i can not get pass the installing the ffmpeg.

Hi @drejkim,

Thank you for building this project. I have the cam working and can load the video feed in a web browser just fine. Setting up a monitor in ZoneMinder for the camera feed fails though. Have you tried pointing ZoneMinder or any media player that speaks RTP/RSTP at the Edison host to see if that works?

Thanks a bunch!
Ulf

This is what I got!
Greetings

Dear Drejkim

Could you help "how to setup the Video quality and Bitrate up to 4Mbit/s" ?

I change the file "do_ffmpeg.sh" and "jsmpg.js" is not working .

By a way , the 1080p can't working in 2Mbit/s.

The usb will display error -71

My camera is logitech c910 .

I've been reviewing the code, but still I have not been able to implement using ipv6.
Could you help me with that?

I'm reviewing the code. And these lines still do not understand them. Could you help me please

In server.js

// serve index
require('./lib/routes').serveIndex(app, configServer.staticFolder);

According to understand, after this line is to run in the index.js
But I do not understand that now makes the file index.js

In index.js

// Load the single view; AngularJS will handle view changes on the front-end
// NB: This needs to be the last route added

exports.serveIndex = function (app, staticFolder) {
app.get('*', function (req, res) {
res.sendFile('index.html', { root: staticFolder });
});
};

when i tried to run ./install_ffmpeg.sh

I didnt change code, and gone through the similar issues but I didn't find how to resolve it.

hello,

I wanted to edit ffserver.conf file and make some changes in there related to video size.
I want my camera to stream video of 960x720 resolution. right now it is streaming only 320x240 resolution as it may be specified in the ffserver.conf file.
I can edit the size of container in index.html page, but it just stretches size of window and not taking higher input size.
How can i do that ? I found the ffserver file (of size 26 MB) in /home/root/bin/ffmpeg directory, but it is in compiled format. So i cannot edit it. Can you suggest me any solution ?

Hi @drejkim

Thanks for sharing this project.

Can I write C++ code in openCV to view the video streaming instead of using web browser?

The C++ coding that i wrote as follow:

include <opencv/cv.h>

include <opencv2/highgui/highgui.hpp>

include <opencv2/imgproc/imgproc.hpp>

include

include <stdio.h>

using namespace std;
using namespace cv;
int main()
{
Mat frame;
namedWindow("video", 1);
VideoCapture cap("http://192.168.8.102:8080/video.mjpg");
if(!cap.isOpened())
{
cout<<"Camera not found"<<endl;
getchar();
return -1;
}
while ( cap.isOpened() )
{
cap >> frame;
if(frame.empty()) break;
imshow("video", frame);
if(waitKey(30) >= 0) break;
}
return 0;
}

When running the C++, it does not show me the video and show me "Camera not found".

However, in Intel Edison terminal, it shows:
"GET /video.mjpg 206 87.816 ms - 1248"

Can you give me some advice and idea? Thank you.

Yesterday I loaded the latest Yocto image from Intel and proceeded to follow the edi-cam instructions. In doing so I noticed performing opkg install kernel-module-uvcvideo will break the now included uvcvideo. This step is no longer needed with the latest Yocto build.
