HI

I'm at a loss how to configure this - i'm sure there used to be a webcam option in system settings or yast - can't find it any more.

Using "IP Webcam" on the phone and it gives a IP address and port but where do you configure it on TW? I've tried webcamoid (takes desktop image and redisplays it recursively in its window) and wxcam (uses /dev/video0).

if there a simple way to configure a wifi device as a webcam. Couldn't find anything relevant with a search. Sure i'm having a senior moment here

regards

Ian

well "webcam" and "ip webcam" are likely two different things. wxcam is made for connecting to a webcam (uses devices connected with video4linux 1 or 2 via usb). I haven't checked into camoid. An "ip webcam" probably means the android device has an rtsp server running and is publishing a stream on the ip and port it gave you. You will want to capture that stream to watch it. I use the terminal and bash scripts for my ip cams. You can try a command like this: ffplay 'rtsp://username:password@192.168.1.5:554' -analyzeduration 0.1 -x 960 -y 520 -window_title front_cam

Thanks, that didn't work for me. I'm trying to get it to be seen as a "webcam" device so video conferencing software can see it as a valid device.

Looking here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pas.webcam&hl=en_US i see that app uses motion jpeg, not rtsp. IIRC, that's probably not going to be great for video conferencing. It would probably be simpler to just get a usb webcam that works with the v4l driver and use that.

yep, a physical webcam would be best. Thanks for the help. I'll try a few of the other andriod ones that use rtsp -- opensuse:tumbleweed:20200322 Qt: 5.14.1 KDE Frameworks: 5.68.0 - KDE Plasma: 5.18.3 - kwin 5.18.3 kmail2 5.13.3 (19.12.3) - akonadiserver 5.13.3 (19.12.3) - Kernel: 5.5.9-1-default - xf86-video-nouveau: 1.0.15 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
