[XU4 (HC2) mjpg_streamer failed after upgrade to 4.19.14]

Hi,

 

my surveillance webcam stopped working after upgrade to 4.19.14.
But only on my HC2. On my other H3-Deviceses, it's working well.

Strange,

With sudo irw /dev/lircd i get the same result sa you.

[Orange Pi Zero, failed to start lirc.service]

Try,

 

sudo service lircd start

 

That should work...

Login on to your omv -settings.

 

Than: Genaral Settings ->Web Administation->Port.

Change Port 80 to 83, Save.

 

After this you can login to omv with my_server_ip:83 and my_server_ip/admin will show pihole.

[USB disconnect allways after some time]

Problem solved by using Kernal higher than 4.14.40.

[USB disconnect allways after some time]

Hi there,

 

System:
root@OPiPC2-Main:~# uname -a
Linux OPiPC2-Main 4.14.18-sunxi64 #26 SMP Fri Feb 9 17:14:48 CET 2018 aarch64 GNU/Linux

 

System diagnosis information will now be uploaded to http://ix.io/18C3

 

I use different Orange Pi's for monitoring with mjpg_streamer and Kerberosio.
It works like a charm with Legacy Kernel (Orange Pi Zero+2, Nanopi Air and other H3 devices), but with Mainline Kernel I always have problems.

The USB port to which I connect my webcam, is disconnected again and again after some time.

I have also changed the type of webcam without success.

 

In messages I only found:

After a reboot, the device is missing again. Only after a power cycle it shows up.

[Kerberos.io video surveillance installation on Armbian]

Hello everyone who has experience with kerberos.io.

 

I use mjpg_streamer on my pi. It works fine.

I thought I can define my stream as <IPCamera> input, but it does not work.

 

My settings:

<IPCamera>
    <url type="text">http://test:test@192.168.63.35:8080/?action=stream</url>
    <frameWidth type="number">1280</frameWidth>
    <frameHeight type="number">720</frameHeight>
    <delay type="number">100</delay>
    <angle type="number">90</angle>
</IPCamera>

 

With http://test:test@192.168.63.35:8080/?action=stream i have the stream on my browser.
This definitly work.

 

Im looking for some log-files, but i couldn't find some useful things.

 

Any ideas?

With Armbian_5.25_Orangepizero_Debian_jessie_default_3.4.113 it works pefect. You only have to ummute "Audio ad" with "m".

 

 

good luck...

maybe it helps...

Hello Igor,

 

thanks for reply. I testet with a plain installation with 5.24, install nginx and then apt-get dist-upgrade to 5.26 and it works.

 

This solution work for me...

[Problems since Versions 5.25 and 5.26 with /var/log/]

Hi,

 

I have problems with the versions "Armbian 5.25 Orangepizero Debian jessie default" and 5.26.
When i install Nginx, the directory "nginx" is created in /var/log/.
After a "reboot" the directory is then "disappeared", not possible to start Nginx.
I can create the folder with error.log and access.log and restart Nginx. After this, it runs.
After a reboot again, nginx is missig again...

 

Any hints?

 

The same happens with 5.25 and 5.26 on OrangePiOne, so far tested...

 

I thing i'm not the only one with this problem.

[Webcam does not work with motion or other software]

Hi,

sorry, but this way i cannot help you.

Run

  /usr/local/bin/mjpg_streamer -i "/usr/local/lib/input_uvc.so -d /dev/video0 -n -f -r 320x240 -f 25" -o "/usr/local/lib/output_http.so -n -w /usr/local/www -p 8080" 

and copy the contents of the terminal.
Post it here, also the output of:

v4l2-ctl --list-formats-ext

[Webcam does not work with motion or other software]

Hello thelaw,

ok, run

sudo v4l2-ctl --list-formats-ext

and take a look at the output.

If theres only written:

ioctl: VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT
        Index       : 0
        Type        : Video Capture
        Pixel Format: 'YUYV'
        Name        : YUV 4:2:2 (YUYV)

the camera only support "YUYV" format. Than you have to run the script with "-f"-flag like this:

  /usr/local/bin/mjpg_streamer -i "/usr/local/lib/input_uvc.so -d /dev/video0 -n -f -r 640x480 -f 25" -o "/usr/local/lib/output_http.so -n -w /usr/local/www -p 8080" >/dev/null 2>&1 &

If you can find:

        Index       : 1
        Type        : Video Capture
        Pixel Format: 'MJPG' (compressed)
        Name        : MJPEG

everthing is fine without "-f".        
 

 

I read

Unable to set format: 1196444237 res: 640x480
 Init v4L2 failed !! exit fatal
 i: init_VideoIn failed

this means that someting is wrong with the resolution 640x480 on your cam.

You can find the right resolution on the output of "sudo v4l2-ctl --list-formats-ext"
 

 

Try this:

  /usr/local/bin/mjpg_streamer -i "/usr/local/lib/input_uvc.so -d /dev/video0 -n -f -r 320x240 -f 25" -o "/usr/local/lib/output_http.so -n -w /usr/local/www -p 8080" >/dev/null 2>&1 &

What type of cam do you have?

 

I run a Logitech C170 (cheap cam), Microsoft LifeCam HD-3000 and Microsoft LifeCam Cinema with 'MJPG' without problems.

 

 

 

Markus

[Webcam does not work with motion or other software]

If i understand right, you like to password protect the stream?

use this:

	/usr/local/bin/mjpg_streamer -i "/usr/local/lib/input_uvc.so -d /dev/video0 -n -r 640x480 -f 25" -o "/usr/local/lib/output_http.so -n -w /usr/local/www -p 8080 -c user:pass"

user:pass = username and password.

 

 

I use mjpg_streamer this way:

1. install

2. move to /opt

mv /root/mjpg-streamer /opt/

3. make start/stop skript

sudo nano /etc/init.d/mjpg_streamer

    start

    ;;

exit 0

3. make it executable

	sudo chmod 0755 /etc/init.d/mjpg_streamer

4. add to autostart

	update-rc.d mjpg_streamer defaults

5. reboot

 

 

Hint:

If your webcam support "MJPG" you can remove the "-y"-Flag, this will save a lot CPU load. (you can check with "htop")

 

With

	v4l2-ctl --list-formats-ext

all formats and sizes of the connected cam will be listed.

 

 

Hint2:

If you use kernel 4.x.x you have to patch mjpg_streamer, because mjpg don`t work.

 

 

Have fun...

[Webcam does not work with motion or other software]

Hello thelaw,

 

i was playing around with raspberry pi and motion, but i this was not good.

I changed to "mjpg_streamer" with much more success.

 

Now i use mjpg_streamer on three H3 oranges.

 

Try this as root:

apt-get install subversion-tools libcairo2-dev libjpeg62-turbo-dev libpango1.0-dev libgif-dev build-essential g++ imagemagick v4l-utils

svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/mjpg-streamer/code/mjpg-streamer mjpg-streamer

cd mjpg-streamer

make
make install

Test:

sudo mjpg_streamer -i "/usr/local/lib/input_uvc.so -d /dev/video0 -n -y -r 640x480 -f 15" -o "/usr/local/lib/output_http.so -n -w /usr/local/www -p 8080"

You can view at:
