Video Pitcher and MJPEG Streamer on RPi

[Thomas Henry]

James,

I found a way to get an MJPG Stream on the RPi, now I want to get that stream into VP. It utilizes raspistill, if that helps.

I have my Pi on http://192.168.1.5:8080. Plugging this into a browser gives me an HTTP page with a few instructions and a small preview of my camera’s view.

To get a “live” stream, the address would be http://192.168.1.5:8080/simple_stream.html

The problem I’m having is what path to use in VP to get that stream. I’ve tried a few paths: http://192.168.1.5:8080/stream.html, http://192.168.1.5:8080/simple_stream.html, and the path where the images are going in the RPi (/tmp/stream). I’m clearly missing something.

After I get this going, I’m going to have to figure a way to address motion sensing and other adjustments. But it looks I may have to do that through the Pi.

Thanks.
Tom
