Hello every body.

I made to short scripts on bash in order to make the streaming easyer:

First on the N900 with root privileges

touch /usr/local/bin/stream-gst
chmod +x /usr/local/stream-gst
vi /usr/local/bin/stream-gst

and there write (remeber to press "i" to edit and when you finish press ESC and then "x:" + ENTER ):

Code:
#!/bin/sh

gst-launch v4l2src device=/dev/video$1 ! videoscale! video/x-raw-yuv,width=320,height=240,framerate=30/1 ! ffmpegcolorspace ! jpegenc ! tcpserversink host=$2 port=5000
After that run the script:

stream-gst 1 192.168.1.101

In this example you are transmiting from the /dev/video1 (Front Camera) to the computer 192.168.1.101
or
You can also steam from the back camera to all the computers on your network by:

stream-gst 0 192.168.1.255


Then on the PC (with linux and root privileges)

touch /usr/local/bin/get-gst
chmod +x /usr/local/get-gst
vi /usr/local/bin/get-gs

and there write (remeber to press "i" to edit and when you finish press ESC and then "x:" + ENTER ):

Code:
#!/bin/sh

gst-launch tcpclientsrc host=$1 port=5000 ! jpegdec ! autovideosink
And the runing the script specifiing the IP of your N900

get-gst 192.168.1.102

It also work on the other way and direction. To see the web cam on yor PC form your N900.

See you!
