I was streaming 1280x960 resolution from a Logitech C310, at low frame rates. MJPEG is at least 20 times more efficient in terms of size and bandwidth than YUYV, so if you want to go to higher resolution, MJPEG may work where YUYV fails. On wheezy, I think motion's handling of MJPEG format from the webcam may be broken. Most of my effort in configuring it was spent turning off options I am not using.
VLC STREAMER NOT SEEING PC SOFTWARE
Motion is very sophisticated software intended for surveillance video. The best alternative to mjpg-streamer seems to be motion coupled with a web server like apache or lighttpd.

(Files may be garbled if the resolution is somehow screwed up.) Fswebcam is available on both Arch and Wheezy as a package. You can then see under what conditions it failed, and whether the files are garbled or not. fswebcam reads an image from a webcam and writes it to a file. Step 4 Now, the Stream Output dialog box would open, check the Play Locally box and click Stream to proceed to provide the. Step 3 Click on the Stream button and then choose Settings. Step 2 Click on the Add button and choose the file you want to stream.

I found fswebcam to very useful for characterizing my cameras, and figuring out which resolutions they will serve. Step 1 Download and install VLC Media Player first, launch it, and click on Media>Open File. If you don't know what formats your webcam delivers, try experimenting with fswebcam in "-verbose" mode. If you camera does not deliver MJPEG, you can probably still read it with the YUYV format, but there is more CPU overhead, because the software must read the YUYV and convert it to MJPEG in order to stream it. I am seeing CPU usage of ~ 1% with a 640x360 resolution MJPEG image. Mjpg-streamer is very efficient with these webcams, as it just reads the images and streams them to the web. The port here should match the port specified in the mjpg-streamer command. Estimating duration from bitrate, this may be inaccurate

I would really appreciate it if someone could share a set of instructions of exactly how to install this on a pi, including dependencies, or an alternative method. This is designed for low powered devices and other people have used it for this purpose, however I have had issues trying to install it. I have already tried to use motion, to stream the video, however I have had a delay of over 2 seconds, which would be unusable for my purpose, so I did some searching and found a thread on another forum which pointed me to mjpg-streamer. I have managed to get the GPIO working, however I am struggling to find a way of streaming the webcam (ps2 eyetoy on /dev/video0) with minimal delay, which I want to get working before I setup anything else! Ok, my overall intent is to build a robot using the raspberry pi, so I will need a webcam stream and the GPIO to control the motors. This is my first post on the forums, so sorry if I miss a few things out!
