Hi, you're viewing the page for the Mgcamd Converter. This is a simple script that converts your MGCAMD config files into mjpg-streamer input files. It requires Python to be installed on the system where it's executed. Here are some of the features of this converter: - Runs in continuous mode, processing new frames as they are generated by mgcamd. - Provides an interface to capture video with VLC media player, saving streams with .ts extension to root folder specified with $HOME variable $HOME/.mgcamd_converter/. - Allows up to 3 simultaneous streams at once (one per webcam). This reduces network traffic as it doesn't present 3 separate MGcamd instances to Pi's. - Uses Python's socket library to connect to the mgcamd daemon, meaning that it doesn't need root access on the host machine. This makes it resistant against changes in the system configuration, such as changing your username. - Does not require a browser and can be executed remotely via ssh, so you don't need a VNC/REMOTEVIEW/REMOTESERVER setup. Future features: - Realtime monitoring of all frames captured by mgcamd and displayed in real time on your browser (provided that you have a server with mjpg-streamer running behind nginx). How to install: - Before you run the script, make sure that mjpg-streamer is installed on a remote machine. If not, you're going to need pip. Here's a link with instructions on how to do it: https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/installing.html - In the converter directory, run python setup.py install or just run python mgcamd_converter_converter.py from wherever you downloaded this file from. - Now copy your config file with your username and password inside to ~/.mgcamd_converter/. - Finally, run MGcamd_converter_converter.py with the path to your mgcamd.conf. If you followed all the steps above then you should run that command like this: " ~/mjpg_streamer /home/pi/mjpg-streamer/mjpg-streamer-webcamprocess" That's it! Enjoy! - Your Pi should connect to mgcamd seamlessly, which means that if your Pi had previously connected to another mgcamd instance, it would disconnect from it and immediately connect to this new one instead. - This script is incompatible with the exit signal (Ctrl-C or equivalent). If you run it, you'll need to kill all connected mgcamd instances. If you want to shut down mgcamd daemon by hand, just do the following: ":538: Operation failed: Process 361 exited with nonzero status" Here's some documentation that might help you understand how this script works. Nothing new here, so look at the comments inside the source if you need more information. cfa1e77820
