How to add my local webcam in yavdr

  • Friends,


    I am using yavdr 0.4 from testing repository.
    How can I add my local webcam in channels.conf
    So that I can stream my webcam.
    And I can view webcam from other devices.


    I am using android device for viewing channels in vdr


    Regards

  • It is in general the same as adding internet channels to the channels list.
    In /etc/vdr/plugins/IPTV copy the 3sat.conf to for example mywebcam.conf.
    Edit the url in that file to the appropriate.
    Stop vdr.
    Edit channels.conf by copying the IPTV channel 3sat.
    Rename the copied channel to mywebcam.


    How to grab the raw webcam stream or pictures I have no clue.

  • Hi ! to your question....
    1. which kind of data your webcam deliver ?
    (my foscam send mjpeg)
    create a config file unter /etc/vdr/plugins/IPTV and add an entry to channels.conf
    and if you can see stream in vdr you can also see it with android device...

  • hi kunas,
    thank you so much.


    it worked perfectly ok.


    just one question.
    can you explain, what's the meaning of those parameters in channels.conf you used?
    how can I add audio also?
    I am using PS3 eye as webcam, it has inbuilt Mic.


    thanks in advance
