edi-cam on galileo

Hi,
I have been trying to use your code with the Galileo board. Is there something I should be aware of within the code that's specific to Edison?? I changed to the appropriate repository for opkg and made sure my webcam is compatible with uvc.
When I run server.js everything seems fine, but when I connect to the http server through my pc browser the loading notice shows shortly, and then nothing just a white image. There's no error with the web sockets nor the firewall. Also the led indicator in my webcam only stays on for 1 second or less then it shuts down.
Thanks for your help
@xiochanik can you provide the console output from node.js, as well as from the browser? I just want to see what's exactly outputted. Thanks!
This is what I get every time I run the code.
@xiochanik It certainly looks like the server is running okay. However, I wonder if Galileo has enough power.... Can you try lowering the bitrate in edi-cam/bin/do_ffmpeg.sh using the -b flag? Right now it's set to 800k. I suggest starting low... for example 64k and see if the stream is visible.
I set the bitrate to 64k with 1 fps and nothing happen, then I try with 128 bitrate and 1 fps. Still nothing, the camera keeps going off, I do think the galileo lacks the power but I was hoping to make it work.
Thanks for your help!
