Hey folks, I have two linksys wireless web cams.? Cam 1 just plays videos, cam 2 uses mplayer to take an image every minutes.? Cam 1 keeps playing, no problems.? Cam 2 keeps stopping after about 17 hours (~1050 images at 1 min intervals).? I have to think there is a network setting or mplayer issue.? Maybe someone on here can help me out. My mplayer command in my shell script is very simple... mplayer http://192.168.1.19/img/video.asf -frames 1 -vo jpeg I'm using a linksys e3000 router which is locally connected to the verizon fios actiontek router.? Also, here's below is the output I see after I try to stream the video.? I can still access the wireless camera, though I can't view the stream. cr at cr-desktop:~$ mplayer http://192.168.1.19/img/video.asf bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111) bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111) bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111) bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111) bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111) bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111) bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111) bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111) bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111) bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111) bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111) bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111) MPlayer SVN-r1.0~rc3+svn20090426-4.4.3 (C) 2000-2009 MPlayer Team mplayer: could not connect to socket mplayer: No such file or directory Failed to open LIRC support.
