Possible to Stream Webcam feed to the network ?

[ekianjo]

A quick question.

I think many people are aware here that you can stream the feed of a webcam connected to your Pandora by using the "tv:" address in any media player. 

Now, what I am trying to do is to see if it's possible to send that feed to the network.

The idea is very simple : 

- put the Pandora in one place connected to the webcam and to the network

- get the stream to display on my PC somewhere else, connected on the same network. 

I think this should be possible but it may not be straightforward (need to encode the stream before broadcasting it?)... anyone has any idea on how to do it ?

Somebody I know uses gstreamer to stream to Twitch. I'm assuming that will let you, but I'm afraid I don't know how.

Edit: At least, I'm pretty sure he was using gstreamer

You can use a mjpeg stream.


Here are some ideas:

Edit: Of course, apt won't work, but you get the idea what programs are needed.


You can compile them yourself. You need a compatible webcam though.


V4l should be installed.
