Streaming camera module with ffmpeg

I've been trying several different ways to get the camera module to stream, and have had no luck.

Has anyone been able to stream the camera module using ffmpeg? I'm trying the following with little success:

Code:

ffmpeg -f video4linux2 -input_format yuv420p -i /dev/video7 -vcodec copy -an -f flv -metadata streamName=myStream tcp://192.168.1.20:6666

ffmpeg gives me no errors, and seems to be streaming, but isn't.

Any ideas?

 

Hi,

I am actually trying to do the exact same thing, and so far what I've concluded is that in order to freely use the camera is if it was a "standard" one, you need to use it as a loopback device. (see the last section of http://elinux.org/UDOO_Camera_Module)

I will come back with the results once I've tried it.

Cheers,
Enric
