PI Camera wont work after re-install

37510

Latest build installed. Pi Camera connected.

vcgencmd get_camera

supported=1 detected=1

However: Printer settings/webcam shows Pi Camera in dropdown but after apply/restart etc. no image and does not show selected any more!

Is there some other setup needed?

Thanks

Did you add a camera? Just seeing it at the bottom is not assign. You need to add webcam at top and then assign it. Then you should already see it where the urls got entered.

When you login using ssh to console you should also see
pi@Felix:~ $ ps aux | grep mjpgroot 314 2.2 0.0 108580 2704 ? Sl Sep14 2594:07 /usr/local/bin/mjpg_streamer -i /usr/local/lib/mjpg-streamer/input_raspicam.so -fps 15 -x 640 -y 480 -quality 85 -o /usr/local/lib/mjpg-streamer/output_http.so -p 9000 -w /usr/local/share/mjpg-streamer/www -bpi 10373 0.0 0.0 7348 576 pts/0 S+ 06:54 0:00 grep --color=auto mjpgThis is how it looks for my pi cam running 640x480 pixel at 15fps. Maybe you have selected a unsupported resolution/fps combination? Try that one first and see how it works. Then you can increase if needed but be aware that data rate can get quite high so make sure network has good connection. If using wifi check with
iwconfig
what bitrate you gat at your place.

Thanks My ignorance not knowing about the streamers or the ps aux command! Good day when I learn something new.

A quick test is in a browser enter: 192.168.x.x:9000/?action=stream with ip of the pi.

Yes that also shows if the mjpg_streamer is working. If so you just need to configure server correctly:-)
