**Update**

An updated version of this post is –>here (Part 3) <–.

Or to stream via Motion, check out this blog post !

*****

There have been quite a few people wanting to stream a webcam from the Raspberry Pi.
If all you want is to view a webcam stream, without any motion detection, then you’ve come to the right post.
Otherwise, I’ll have a blog post up about motion later on for motion detection.

This guide should get you to the point where you can view the webcam stream from another machine via a web browser, or a media player capable of viewing mjpeg streams – e.g. VLC.

1. Compiling FFMpeg

First thing we need to do is to get a version of ffmpeg that can stream. The version that comes with the current version of Raspbian and Debian have issues streaming, so the sources from deb-multimedia are needed. All the below commands are run as root. If you are not running as root, prepend sudo to all the commands.

**Update**
If you need sound for ffmpeg, you will need to also install the libasound2-dev package which enables ALSA.
– Thanks to fbutler for this

  1. Add the following lines into /etc/apt/sources.list
    deb-src http://www.deb-multimedia.org sid main
    deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org wheezy main non-free
  2. Run apt-get update
  3. Run apt-get install deb-multimedia-keyring
  4. Remove the second line from /etc/apt/sources.list
    deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org wheezy main non-free
  5. Run apt-get source ffmpeg-dmo
  6. You should now have a folder called ffmpeg-dmo-0.11 <-- The version will change as time goes by.
  7. Change the directory to the folder containing the source. e.g. cd ffmpeg-dmo-0.11
  8. Run ./configure to setup the source.
  9. Run make && make install to compile and install ffmpeg
  10. if you are not running as root like I am, then you will need to run the above command with sudo

2. Configuring ffmpeg

Once ffmpeg is installed, we need to create a configuration file to enable ffmpeg to stream to ffserver.
ffserver is what will host the stream.

  1. We need to create a configuration file for ffserver, we will place it in /etc/ and call it ffserver.conf

    Port 80
    BindAddress 0.0.0.0
    MaxClients 10
    MaxBandwidth 50000
    NoDaemon

    <Feed webcam.ffm>
    file /tmp/webcam.ffm
    FileMaxSize 10M
    </Feed>

    <Stream webcam.mjpeg>
    Feed webcam.ffm
    Format mjpeg
    VideoSize 640x480
    VideoFrameRate 10
    VideoBitRate 2000
    VideoQMin 1
    VideoQMax 10
    </Stream>

    The last stanza defines the size of the stream, and bitrate. If the parameters don’t suit each other, then the stream will not be smooth.

  2. Next, the following command needs to be put into a .sh file. This will allow you to start streaming by just running the .sh file. Let’s call it webcam.sh and put it in /usr/sbin as the file needs to be run as root.
    ffserver -f /etc/ffserver.conf & ffmpeg -v verbose -r 5 -s 640x480 -f video4linux2 -i /dev/video0 http://localhost/webcam.ffm
  3. Once the .sh file has been created, and the above code has been placed into it, you need to make the file executable by running chmod +x /usr/sbin/webcam.sh

3. Start Streaming

Once the shell script and configuration file has been created, you can start streaming by running /usr/sbin/webcam.sh
When you run it, you should start seeing lines like this

** 1 dup!2 fps= 5 q=2.6 size= 51136kB time=00:06:56.40 bitrate=1006.0kbits/s dup=359 drop=0

This means that ffmpeg is now streaming, and you should be able to access the stream via the web address of http://<YOUR WEBCAM SERVER>/webcam.mjpeg

** Update of sorts – I continue my webcam experimentation here

  1. In 2.2 i think you have an error in the code. should it not be http://localhost:81/webcam.ffm

    • I actually changed it slightly from the post you followed ๐Ÿ™‚
      at the top – bind port defines which port ffserver is listening on – so changing that to 80 negates the need to define a port when you’re accessing the stream

  2. Hello, thank you for your guide. I ran into some problems, and I’m hoping you can help me. I’ve been trying to stream from my Pi + webcam for ages now, without success.

    First thing I noticed were some errors in the make stage, like “libavcodec/flacdec.c:340:43: warning: โ€˜dโ€™ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized]”.

    Finally, when all is done, when I try to access the stream via browser (I’m using Chrome), it tries to download a file named webcam.mjpeg.mjpeg ๐Ÿ˜€

    I also have a .asf feed, but when I use VLC to access it, in the console of ffserver/ffmpeg I get:

    Codec for stream 0 does not use global headers but container format requires global headers
    Codec for stream 1 does not use global headers but container format requires global headers

    and VLC fails.

    Any help here would be very much appreciated ๐Ÿ™‚ Oh, I’m using a Mac.

    Cheers!

    • Have you tried using VLC to view the mjpeg stream to see if that works ?

      • Yes. I’ve got rid of those warnings/errors too, but still no deal.

        VLC doesn’t open any stream at all … asf, rm, swf, whatever I configure ffserver with.
        I’ve noticed that when I try to access the stream, in the status page of ffserver it states WAIT_FEED for my connection.

        I’ve also noticed in other people posts that ffserver reports the input as a connection, but in mine that line doesn’t show. Maybe it’s getting trouble reading my device?

        I’m not trying with a Logitech C270. With what webcam did you succeed?

        Thanks for your time!

        • Ups, typo. “I’m _now_ trying with …”

        • My webcam was a generic one. It uses the uvc driver.

          Does /dev/ contain video0 ?

          • Yeap. I can also manage to user streamer to take pictures, but no video from ffmpeg ๐Ÿ™

          • Can you run this command, and see if the file it outputs contains video ?

            ffmpeg -v verbose -r 5 -s 640×480 -f video4linux2 -i /dev/video0 temp.avi

            This should create the temp.avi file, and hopefully it should contain some video.
            Let it run for 10 or so seconds, then hit “q” to make it stop, then view the video.

            It should tell us whether ffmpeg is actually working or not.

          • Hi! I had the same problem… I can ran ffserver and ffmpeg commands successfull, but when i tried to get the stream at VLC, i got error like canno't access or something like that, and stat.html contains WAIT_FEED.

            I have no solution for this, but it’s just one time get working successfully, and i didn’t do anything for it. Now it’s working, hope you get same ๐Ÿ™‚

    • Hey pfqueiros,

      Can you explain how did you capture webcam stream using ffmpeg?

  3. why wont mine work > logs included > http://pastebin.com/xjVMpE8z

    • Hi

      I had similar issues to you as well when I first started this.
      This line holds the clue

      The v4l2 frame is 65496 bytes, but 614400 bytes are expected

      I found that I had my bitrate set too low. Try setting it higher and see how you go.
      If you could also pastebin your configuration file, that would be helpful also.

      • my config is the same as above and how do i set the bitrate higher ?

        • btw “The v4l2 frame is 65496 bytes, but 614400 bytes are expected”
          keeps changing to “The v4l2 frame is * bytes, but 614400 bytes are expected”
          * = wildcard

  4. and a other webcam gives me this

    [video4linux2,v4l2 @ 0x1690520] Buffer len [0] = 118784 != 307200
    /dev/video0: Operation not permitted

    • change videobitrate 2000 to 5000

      • still
        [video4linux2,v4l2 @ 0x1d4e520] The v4l2 frame is 40588 bytes, but 614400 bytes are expected

      • I’m getting pretty much the same error but changing the bit rate to 5000 didn’t change a thing

        [video4linux2,v4l2 @ 0x2339620] [4]Capabilities: 5000001
        [video4linux2,v4l2 @ 0x2339620] Buffer len [0] = 12288 != 25344
        /dev/video0: Operation not permitted

        anything else I can try?

        • Try different resolutions as well. What webcam do you have ?

          • My webcam driver was chaging the resolution to somthing weird (I can’t remember what exactly, I’m in school so I’ll check later) so I changed the res in my /usr/sbin/webcam.sh file and the ffserver.conf file.I’ve got a treally old “creative” one with a really bad resolution.

          • Try and use v4l2-ctl or uvcdynctrl to detect the resolutions that your webcam can use and try using those resolutions ?
            I know some webcams will force a certain fps or resolution so that could be an issue ?

  5. Well, the “make && make install” took about 2-3 hours (that’s certainly worth mentioning) but then I just got an error:

    pi@raspberrypi /usr/sbin $ sudo webcam.sh
    /usr/sbin/webcam.sh: 1: /usr/sbin/webcam.sh: ffmpeg: not found
    pi@raspberrypi /usr/sbin $ /usr/sbin/webcam.sh: 1: /usr/sbin/webcam.sh: ffserver: not found

  6. Thanks a lot! This worked straight away with a Logitech Pro 9000 webcam.

    But would you happen to know how to make ffmpeg read mjpeg data from the webcam instead of raw uncompressed data? I’d like to stream the mjpeg directly – that would lessen the system load a lot.

  7. Hey, I really appreciate you made this tutorial. Thank you.
    But even though I followed every single step of it, it gives me:
    [http @ 0x11704b0] HTTP error 404 Not Found
    http://localhost/webcam.ffm: Input/output error

    The webcam, Logitech Quickcam 9000 Pro, works out fine, since I recorded an AVI and played it back.
    What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks,
    Lexenstar

    • Sounds like either ffserver is not running of configuincorrectly. What do you have for in the ffserver.conf file ?

      • Port 80
        BindAddress 0.0.0.0
        MaxClients 10
        MaxBandwidth 50000
        NoDaemon

        Feed webcam.ffm
        Format mjpeg
        VideoSize 640x480
        VideoFrameRate 10
        VideoBitRate 2000
        VideoQMin 1
        VideoQMax 10


        I also tried changing the port since it sometimes comes up with Address already in use.
        Please delete the other comment, Im sorry.

        • Looks like you copied my typo of file /tmp/webam.ffm should be /tmp/webcam.ffm

          • Alright, now its streaming, but when Im going there by browser (Chrome) it just tries (download does not really start) to download the webcam.mjpeg and when I give the link to VLC to open a network stream it just comes up with main error: open of `192.168.2.139/webcam.mjpeg' failed

            The stream seems to be alright, giving out this stuff all the time
            *** 7 dup!4 fps=5.1 q=2.6 size= 207616kB time=00:14:06.80 bitrate=2008.5kbits/s dup=3753 drop=0

          • Add the following bits to the end of the conf file and then try to access 192.168.2.139/status.html


            <Stream status.html>
            Format status

            ACL allow 192.168.2.0 192.168.2.255
            </Stream>

            see if you can access that

          • I can, it gives me the table of available streams:
            Webcam:
            Served conns: 0
            bytes: 0
            Format: mjpeg
            Bitrate kbits/s: 2000
            Video kbits/s: 2000
            Codec: mjpeg
            Audio kbits/s: 0
            Feed: webcam.ffm

          • At least that means that ffserver is running right…

            Can you try a different browser to access http://192.168.2.139/webcam.mjpeg ?

            Also, when you access using vlc, make sure you have http:// at the beginning or it won’t work.

          • Firefox and Internet Explorer just keep on loading forever when opening the stream. But everytime I start loading it with some browser the byte-count of webcam.mjpeg goes up a little and a new connection with the state WAIT_FEED comes up in the lowest table.

          • Sounds like it’s doing what it’s meant to do then.
            Try VLC again with “http://192.168.2.139/webcam.mjpeg”

          • It actually always goes up exactly 66 bytes.

          • Actually VLC does not come up with an error anymore. But while having the correct address in its taskbar it just wont play, stays black. Pressing play does not do anything. :/

          • You’ve gotten me stumped then :/ not sure what could be going wrong.

            Can you paste the whole entire output from when you start the command until it starts streaming ?

          • I got it fixed now. I put up a new installation of wheezy. Apparently the typo with “webam” completely confused my little pi… but thanks a lot! Your answers gave me a lot of troubleshooting-exercise ๐Ÿ˜€

          • Goodo ! Glad to hear you got it going ๐Ÿ™‚
            It just occurred to me that maybe you still had an ffserver instance running in the background. Perhaps that was causing issues as well !

  9. Cheers for the walk through.
    Works a treat for me – I’m using wheezy, logitech webcam pro 9000 and VLC.

    • Do you have any other http server running ? Apache or lighthttpd ?
      By default they use the same port as the webcam.sh script. You’ll need to change the port that the script uses in order to get it to stream.

  17. Hello!
    I have webcam Logitech C910. File /dev/video0 is present. I use wheezy. I installed ffmpeg, but when i run webcam.sh has error:
    ioctl(VIDIOC_DQBUF): Input/output error
    Estimating duration from bitrate, this may be inaccurate

    See my full bash command and error: http://pastebin.com/mh1sJrw7

    • #bind(port 80): Address already in use

      Do you have another web server already running ?
      Maybe use a different port for ffmpeg.

      • No. I have clean weezy, only install script noip: http://www.no-ip.com/support/guides/update_clients/setting_up_linux_update_client.html
        Then I install ffmpeg follow it instruction
        I try change ffmpeg port to 8080 but have same error:

      • I change port to 8080.
        Error “#bind(port 80): Address already in use” – does not appear
        But other error’s is present.

        • Did you update the rest of the script to use port 8080 rather than port 80 ?
          http://localhost:8080/webcam.ffm for example ?

          • Yes. But cam is not working.
            When I connect cam to Windows 7 and run Skype, on the webcam Blue LED is on.
            But on weezy this LED is off. Thus Camera does not turn on.

            I try this coomand: ffmpeg -loglevel info -r 10 -vcodec mjpeg -s 640ร—480 -f video4linux2 -i /dev/video0 http://localhost/webcam.mjpeg
            And get this error:
            [V4L2 indev @ 0x1fe4d50] Unable to parse option value “640ร—480” as image size
            [V4L2 indev @ 0x1fe4d50] Error setting option video_size to value 640ร—480.
            /dev/video0: Invalid argument

          • Try a different size ?
            maybe 320×240 ?
            or maybe try vga ?
            also, is ffserver setup to use http://localhost/webcam.mjpeg ?
            Need to change that to port 8080 also – i.e. http://localhost:8080/webcam.mjpeg
            ffserver will need to be setup to use webcam.mjpeg as well for the stream input.

          • Yes, i’m trying different resolution, but always see this error:
            ioctl(VIDIOC_DQBUF): No such device

            Maybe camera is not enough power and I need USB hub with external power for it?

          • Please use -b:a or -b:v, -b is ambiguous
            Don’t use the -b argument.
            and try it without -vcodec mjpeg as well.

          • I try it. And try use mplayer, but see only green area.
            I think camera is not enough power. I buy on eBay powered hub. When I recieve it, i try use Logitech C910 with USB Powered Hub.

  18. Hi
    Many thanks for the walk-through.
    Have compiled, installed and configured ffmpeg as per instructions. All seemed to go well. When I try and run webcam.sh I see the configuration followed by:

    [video4linux2,v412 @ 0x173e520] [3]Capabilities: 5000001
    [video4linux2,v412 @ 0x173e520] ioctl set time per frame(1/5) failed
    /dev/video0: Input/output error

    It does appear to open port 80 though as further attempts to run webcam.sh reveal that port 80 is in use.
    This is the only thing installed on a clean wheezy image (which has been updated).
    Any suggestions gratefully recieved.
    Many thanks
    Dave

    • Sounds like the FPS isn’t supported perhaps ?
      Try changing fps, or checking what the cam can do with v4l2-ctl

    • Did you ever get your problem resolved? I have the same exact problem. Here is what I get when I use v4l2-ctl –all

  20. Followed the instructions to the letter, but I’m getting the following when attempting to stream the cam:

    [NULL @ 0x2ce1520] Requested output format ‘video4linux2’ is not a suitable output format

    Ideas? qv4l2 shows the webcam and I can see the content there, so I know the camera is working and detected.

  21. I’m getting a page not found every time I try to leave a comment. This is a test post.

  22. Every time I try to post my code, I get a 404 page not found error.

    So instead, I’ll post the URL of the file in my Dropbox

    https://dl.dropbox.com/u/566712/Raspberry%20Pi%20webcam%20errors.txt

    • Not sure why you get the 404 but i’ll look into it. In regards to the script, it needs to be run as root or sudo in order for it to open up the lower ports. Higher ports do not have the same limitation though.

  23. OK, I moved everything to port 8080. I issue webcam.sh and it prints what you see below and totally hangs the SSH session.

          Not sure what that means but that seems to be the issue…

          Try recording to a file via ffmpeg and see if that works.

  24. I am using a “Logitech, Inc. HD Webcam C910” with Pi. When I run the script webcam.sh, all seems to run well, but when I access the stream via the web address (with Firefox) I obtain this message “This feed is already being received” What happens? I try too with VLC, but it doesn’t work.

    This is my console output:

  25. Hello

    I’m not quite Sure but I think you have to apt-get update once again after 1.3 (apt-get install deb-multimedia-keyring) ..

    Greetings Volker

  26. […] ist muss Dieser neu installiert und compiliert werden. Genauere Informationen hierzu bitte unter Dieser URLย nachlesen. Es ist hier noch anzumerken, Punkt 1.2 (apt-get update) zu einer Fehlermeldung fรผhrt, […]

  27. Tried to follow your steps. FFMpeg is up to version 1.0 now.
    But when compiling I get an error- here is a screenshot:
    http://postimage.org/image/fa0dq3skv/

    • Can’t say I’ve seen that before.
      Are you compiling with swap activated ? Try activating the swap and trying again.

      • Sorry, bit of a linux noob – can you be more verbose?

        • Run the command “free” and paste up what you get. That will tell us whether you already have the swap file or swap partition enabled already

          • Think my previous issue was caused by a dodgy sd card. Tried a diff card and got a different error:

            http://postimage.org/image/zdq8ncj2n/

          • lol can’t say I’ve seen that error either.
            Same thing I guess, check to see if swap space / file is enabled.
            Did you copy the files from the old SD card or is this a new download of the source ?
            Maybe it needs a make clean if they’re old files.

          • Its a new download of source.
            Ill try those things tonight when I get home. This looks like a more “proper” error though. And seems to be a compile error rather than the “Bus Error” I got last time

  28. Thanks for this great walkthrough! I got my pi up and running with a quickcam 9000. The only thing is that I get 1-2 fps average, and there’s a 3-10 second delay, depending on the different settings I’ve tried. Is there any way to improve this? I’m hoping to rig up my pi with a battery and long-range wifi adapter and use it for aerial views from an RC glider plane.

    I’ve tried:
    ffmpeg -loglevel info -r 10 -vcodec mjpeg -s 320ร—240 -f video4linux2 -i /dev/video0 http://localhost/webcam.ffm

    But it gives me: /dev/video0: Could not find codec parameters

    And i’ve also tried this that I found somewhere:
    ffmpeg -r 25 -s 320×240 -f video4linux2 -i /dev/video0 -f rawvideo http://localhost/webcam.ffm

    But it gives: av_interleaved_write_frame(): Connection reset by peer.

    Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

    • Thanks for reading !

      If you can check the capabilities of the webcam via v4l2-ctrl or uvcdynctrl to see what’s native to the webcam, you may be able to use optimised settings for lower cpu usage.

      Otherwise you may have to just try and tweak the settings as all webcams are different so what works for me may not work for you.
      Also try bumping up the loglevel to verbose so you can see if the cam is running into any buffer over flow errors or anything which may be slowing things down.

      You could also try using the tool mjpeg-streamer and see how you go with that.

    • Are you running ffmpeg with the verbose paramter ? Try with the debug flag also to see if more information comes up.

      Sounds like the fps you’re trying to use is not supported. Some webcams are picky about these things, so you might need tl try a different fps

      Also you can try to run just the ffmpeg part of the webcam.sh file but replace http://localhost/webcam.ffm with temp.avi and see what that says.

      • running in verbose mode generates the same results. outputting to temp.avi also outputs the same results as below, stopping at the same place. You can see below that I’ve switched framrate to 30 – but it still freezes at the same point.

        • What webcam are you using ?

          You might need to use v4l2-ctl to discover what resolutions and fps your webcam supports and set ffmpeg to that manually.

          • One step forward two steps back…

            Ok, so I discovered that it was my USB hub that was preventing me from going forward. By plugging my webcam directly into the board, i’m able to proceed further.

          • V4l2-ctl is a program that normally needs installing via apt-get. It shows you the capabilities of your webcam.

            I would try and install that, then use it to find out what resolutions and fps the cam supports.

        • Ok, made some learnings…

          sudo apt-get install v4l-utils

          Gets the v4l2-ctl – and

          v4l2-ctl --all

          gets the info about the webcam.

          • I’m still getting this error every few minutes…

            “The v4l2 frame is 367 bytes, but 153600 bytes are expected
            /dev/video0: Invalid data found when processing input
            No more output streams to write to, finishing.”

            Here’s the pastebin of my v4l2-ctl: http://pastebin.com/NqGxTjtP

            Should I tune my output better? or is there a way to ignore or force ffserver to accept these wonky frame byte numbers?

          • I get the same issue depending on the webcam. I haven’t been able to resolve this issue as of yet so my workaround was to have a script run every few minutes to check to see whether ffmpeg was running and if it wasn’t, it would run ffmpeg again

          • Mine fails every minute or so…

            What does your script look like that checks and runs again?

            Cheers,

            P

          • Something along the lines of this – I’m writing it from the top of my head so this probably won’t work, but you can always give it a shot
            Hopefully I still have the proper script that I was using at home, otherwise I’ll just write up another one ๐Ÿ™‚

            #!/bin/bash

            ffmpeg=`ps aux | grep ffmpeg | wc -l`
            if [[ $ffmpeg -ne 1 ]]; do
            run ffmpeg command that you want to use
            fi

            ^ and then schedule that to run every minute or 5 minutes or whatever via cron.

          • I think the bigger solution is here:
            http://web.archiveorange.com/archive/v/yR2T4eDRCIV1ZzyRoBve

            I just don’t know what I’m supposed to do with it…

            Can you make sense of it?

          • That looks like some patching that was applied to the ffmpeg code.
            Being from 3 years ago, I would assume that the necessary changes have already made it into the ffmpeg code base, but I could be mistaken.
            I’ll have a closer look when I get home.

            Edit – Actually I think that the code on that page has definitely been applied as ffmpeg can capture mjpeg streams from webcams.

          • Thanks so much for your help, we just want to include a tag here that says “ignore errors,” or skip “errors”.

            I’ve been hanging out in the ffmpeg irc room in freenode and I still don’t have the answer.

            I’m sure between us we’ll figure it out.

  30. Thank you for your guide, but I’m getting some errors:

          • I guess try PJPG ? Never seen that before…also try mjpeg

          • Same error with -vcodec mjpeg (PJPG outputs ‘Unknown decoder’).
            I think my webcam sucks…

  31. I get an error of

    Cannot read file ‘ffmpeg2pass-0.log’: No such file or directory

    Error reading log file ‘ffmpeg2pass-0.log’ for pass-2 encoding
    Segmentation fault

  32. Iam beginner and I have a question

    8. Run make && make install to compile and install ffmpeg
    That’s means I should just write in sudo:
    sudo make && make install

    ?

  33. It worked fine for me! Thank you very much for this post!!

  34. What sort of frame rate have you managed with the Raspberry Pi managing the streaming?

    • From what I recall, I had 5 fps with very little delay. I haven’t played around with my webcams in a little while though so things will probably have improved.

  35. I’ve followed the above but I get the following errors

    /usr/sbin/webcam.sh: line 1: ffserver: command not found
    /usr/sbin/webcam.sh: line 1: ffmpeg: command not found

    regards

    Stevie P a real noob to all this

  36. when i enter sudo make install i get the error:
    make *** no targets. stop.

  37. i ran it from cd ffmpeg-dmo-0.11
    it is a newer version though

  38. Please help I’ve been trying to get this to work for over a week now,
    when I run it I get the following

    could this be down to my webcam ? I’m not sure if its recognised, there is no name on it
    should I look at getting another cam ?
    thank you very much for your help

    • Hi, does your webcam work at all? Please post:
      # lsusb
      # ls -l /dev/video*

      You have to do it as root, so do
      # sudo -s
      at first.

      Chris

      • Hi Chris

        found one of the problems, it was down to my powered usb hub changed it and it now see’s the cam, but I now get the same problem as Joaquรญn

  41. On what version of whezzy are you running this?

    I have bin struggling for days to get it fixed. I always get an error at “sudo make && make install”
    Last time I got this error message: “libavformat/bit.d:1: *** missing separator. Stop.”
    Other times, something different…
    I’m running this from the ffmpeg source folder.

    Anyway, tried to ignore the error (worth trying: :)) and continue, but when I’m trying to run webcam.sh I get the fallowing error:

    ” /usr/sbin/webcam.sh: line 1: ffserver: command not found
    /usr/sbin/webcam.sh: line 1: ffmpeg: command not found “

  42. Yes.
    Could you give me an alternative source?

  43. Hey Lagz great tutorial I’ve been reading through and decided to try it out myself (after spending a week figuring out that I had to do “sudo make && sudo make install” in order to get past step 9 :p ) I just have one problem with it

    After I get everything working I find that the fps of my stream is very poor (1-3 fps) for a resolution of 320×240

    frame= 111 fps=1.7 q=1.6 size= 424kB time=00:00:22.20 bitrate= 153.5kbits/s

    I’ve checked and my webcam can support mjpeg up to 30fps on that resolution but I can’t seem to make it run faster, I even removed ‘VideoFrameRate’ to check if that command is even being noticed and the same happened. The only thing that changes this is if I completely remove (I’ve tried increasing it too with no change) “-r 5” in which the fps shoots up to 20+ but there’s a lot of dup errors and the stream still looks poor fps wise most of the time with some welcome spikes in fps.

    Any ideas on what could be wrong?

    • That seems to be an issue with some webcams.
      Have you tried an intermediate value for -r ? like say 10 or 15 ?
      Also, what bitrate have you got set in the ffserv config file ?

      Also, what do you mean by dup errors ?

      Edit – After a quick google, try adding -vsync 0 to the command line and see how you go.
      Edit 2 – I have also edited the post with some hopefully better instructions now lol.

      • I’ve managed to get it to work with -r set to 30, it seems that my webcam doesn’t like to update frames unless there is actual activity in the frame. Still sticks to 10fps but I can’t complain ๐Ÿ™‚

  44. Worked great for me, although I was using a laptop, not a R pi. I just ended up needing to change one thing, I took out out the “-v verbose” because it was giving me an error. Thanks for the article!

    I tried with 640×340 and also 320×240, same results.

    Now a stupid question…. do I need some sort of driver before?
    I use a Logitech Quickcam Chat webcamera.

    • If you can see /dev/video0 then the driver is already present. Have you got a gui installed ? Perhaps try using guvcview and see if that can view your webcam ?

    Missing audio stream which is required by this ffm

    And the ffserver.conf file is exactly as the one at the start of this post.

    This is the output on my command line

    can someone tell me either how to fix this without sound or by telling me how to make the sound work if it really wants to use the sounds it can i was wanting to try and make the sound thing work after the stream is up and stable.
    The kicker is i have had it working for a day then after a pi reboot it did this ๐Ÿ™

    Please help

  55. […] How To : Stream A Webcam From The Raspberry Pi ยป The Rantings and Ravings of a Madman […]

  56. hi,
    i tried this 5 times with 08/2012 wheezy, with 12/2012 debian, each time with fresh setup
    everytime when i get to the point “sudo apt-get update”
    – i get errors (non-veryfied files, stuff not found, lists not loaded …) and wheezy gets completely whamboozled, need to set it up again! ๐Ÿ™

    is this still up-to date??

    any help appreciated!!

  57. Iโ€™ve followed your tutorial closely, and read the extensive comments. But I’m stymied and can’t get ffmpeg to fly. Here are my errors:

    Thanks for your great work. Any help is much appreciated.

    Charles H, another big noob

    • Is your configuration file *exactly* how it is there ? Or did WordPress strip some tags that were in there initially ?

      /etc/ffserver.conf:42: libswresample 0. 17.102 / 0. 17.102
      Incorrect keyword: โ€˜ffmpegโ€™
      [video4linux2,v4l2 @ 0x1e7e4b0] fd:3 capabilities:4000001
      Incorrect config file โ€“ exiting.

      It looks like the configuration file isn’t correct and that could be causing the issue
