I have made a bit more progress getting my Edimax IP Camera working, and detailed what I have learned at http://ic-3010wg.webhop.net.
The main problems are still that although I can download an MPEG4 stream using wget, neither mplayer nor vlc will play it directly, which is no good.
The other issue is that sound still does not work.....
Hi,
ReplyDeletedid you try mplayer to play from stdin:
wget http://url.com/movie.mpeg -O - | mplayer -
?
Good idea - no, I hadn't.
ReplyDeleteWhen I try that, mplayer gives a load of warnings about not being able to seek backward in linear streams, and I see the wget progress bar showing that data is being downloaded.
No video though!
Adding the -q (for quite) option to mplayer gets rid of the progress bar. Still lots of warnings about seeking backwards, but I did see this "Win32 LoadLibrary failed to load: avisynth.dll, /usr/lib/win32/avisynth.dll, /usr/local/lib/win32/avisynth.dll"
ReplyDeleteIt is correct, I don't have avisynth.dll
Unfortunately the pipes are not seekable, but you can test the "−cache [kBytes]" parameter.
ReplyDeleteThis should produce a delay. Maybe mplayer can detect the codec faster with a little bit of caching.
this camera is continuosly crashing, in detail is the webserver crashing every few hours, exactly like the 1510wg model.
ReplyDeleteany way to fix this?
thanks
