RaPi Camera video streaming

We need

Raspberry Pi with ArchLinux and configured RaPi Camera.

Compile and run mjpg-streamer

install packages:

# pacman -Sy git gcc make cmake libjpeg-turbo

download and compile mjpg-streamer:

# cd /opt
# mkdir mjpg-streamer
# git clone https://github.com/jacksonliam/mjpg-streamer.git ./mjpg-streamer
# cd mjpg-streamer/mjpg-streamer-experimental
# make clean all

create run.sh file:

#!/bin/bash
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/mjpg-streamer/mjpg-streamer-experimental/ /opt/mjpg-streamer/mjpg-streamer-experimental/mjpg_streamer -i "input_
raspicam.so -fps 15 -q 50 -x 640 -y 480" -o "output_http.so -p 9000 -w /opt/mjpg-streamer/mjpg-streamer-experimental/www" &

add execution privileges:

# chmod +x run.sh

streaming test:

# ./run.sh

Camera LED should light up. Open in http browser url http://you_raspberry_address:9000/stream.html

We should see something like:

Autorun streaming  script

Create file /etc/systemd/system/mjpg-streamer.service:

[Unit]
Description=mjpg-streamer for robot

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

[Service]
Type=oneshot
RemainAfterExit=yes
ExecStart=/opt/mjpg-streamer/mjpg-streamer-experimental/run.sh
WorkingDirectory=/opt/mjpg-streamer/mjpg-streamer-experimental

and call commands:

#systemctl start mjpg-streamer
#systemctl enable mjpg-streamer

Final test

Reboot Raspberry and call in browser http://you_raspberry_address:9000/stream.html
