This server has been designed to be the simplest possible to start streaming video
from your Raspberry Pi camera module. It uses the MJPEG codec so doesn't have sound
but supports all options of raspivid
. The server reads the data using stdin
which
means you need to use the -o -
option and pipe it to the server.
The program raspivid
can output MJPEG but it doesn't conform to what a browser
expects in a webpage. Instead, it outputs a JPEG image back to back. This is easy to
split and prepare each image to be a proper MJPEG which includes the right HTTP headers.
Type this in your terminal :
wget https://dl.bintray.com/speps/grumpy-pi-mjpg/mjpg-server
Type (those options are the minimum required) :
raspivid -cd MJPEG -t 0 -o - | mjpg-server
Of course, raspivid
can take any options like so :
raspivid -cd MJPEG -w 640 -h 360 -fps 10 -t 0 -n -o - | mjpg-server
NOTE: prefer binary releases, see how to download above
You need to install Golang to compile : https://golang.org/doc/install
There are 2 options :
- Downloading the
linux-armv6l
version and following the instructions - Download for another operating system and cross-compiling
- For this, set
GOOS=linux
andGOARCH=arm
- For this, set
Once this is done, run this :
go build grumpy-pi-mjpg/mjpg-server.go
This generates the mjpg-server
executable.
