Hi everyone, This is not a real -dvb question, but -media seemed too official. A device of mine is serving a video stream on a certain port, (Hawking HNC210, video surveillance cam) unfortunately it uses its own (very simple) protocol: it's a bunch of jpegs in a row. I have this script that checks the stream every second and creates a jpeg out of it, but I really want a continuous video stream. Is there a way to do this? This is the script: #!/usr/bin/perl use IO::Socket; #SET WHERE CAMERA IS $sock = new IO::Socket::INET (PeerAddr => '10.11.0.101', PeerPort => 4321, Proto => 'tcp', Timeout => 1); #do it again forever while (1){ #sleep timeout (this value give us 1fps) select(undef, undef, undef, 0.5); $sock->send("0110\n"); $sock->read($size, 2); $sock->read($j1, 1); $sock->read($j2, 1); $j1=oct("0x".unpack("H*", $j1)); $j2=oct("0x".unpack("H*", $j2)); #print "J1_USERS:".$j1."\n"; #print "J2:".$j2."\n"; $size=oct("0x".unpack("H*", $size)); #print "SIZE:".$size."\n"; if ($size != 0) { $sock->read($data, $size); open OUTF, "> /var/www/hawking.jpg" or die "Can't open $outfile : $!"; print OUTF $data; close OUTF; } } Greetings, Jelle De Loecker _______________________________________________ linux-dvb users mailing list For V4L/DVB development, please use instead linux-media@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
