Hi, I have written some software that may be of interest to some of you. If you have wanted to grab JPEG frames from a UVC compatible device, or just allow people to watch your webcam over the net.
uvc_stream is a program that is part of the mjpg-streamer project. I did a checkout of the latest from the mjpg-streamer svn and found that it sort of works with Mozilla Firefox, but not quite well enough (friends had to keep clicking refresh). So, faced with the problem of having a good viewer for my friends, I wrote a program to share with my friends that use Linux or Windows XP (it should also work with NT4). The binaries are here: http://www.xmission.com/~georgeps/implementation/software/megapkg/ntk_mjpeg_viewer_linux.bin.bz2 http://www.xmission.com/~georgeps/implementation/software/megapkg/ntk_mjpeg_viewer_win.exe $ md5sum ntk_mjpeg_viewer_* 453d4c0b546bdcf74cc3ec5ff66ddff6 ntk_mjpeg_viewer_linux.bin.bz2 059858f4c37e98de63d0dd8239d90726 ntk_mjpeg_viewer_win.exe The sources are here: http://code.google.com/p/megapkg/source/browse/trunk/ntk_mjpeg_viewer.vfs/main.tcl The C code extensions are in the trunk too (under csrc). If you need help building it, first consult the README for megapkg. I made the executables (Starpacks) using something called tclkit and sdx.kit. For more information: http://www.equi4.com/tclkit/index.html Usage is quite simple. After starting the program, enter a uvc_stream server host or IP address, and a port number. Click connect and it should work :-) Please let me know if there are any problems. Have fun!
