usern900 -- adhoc mode finds no connections? Hmm, I need to test.

The black screen means that an image is being sent, but the camera cover isn't open or blocked somehow. There is also an (initial?) 7 second delay so you need to wait before you can see anything

Yes, doesn't find on adhoc mode. it has to type the ip manually.
But, it found on a scan result when I start a 'wifi hotspot connection'.. what about it?

And of course I opened cover.
What else thing will be blocked?

The most obvious would be using the very poor quality front-camera (set in source selector) that frequently returns a very dark image. But you prolly have tested with both, so....

All I can suggest for now is that you point the camera at a bright light source to check if there is an image and if this is some kind of exposure issue.

(I am not surprised that arp does not work in ad-hoc mode)....

OK, a quick test shows that http streaming now does not work for me, tho'it did a few days back. Am investigating - the stream connects, and then drops. VLC on the PC definitely sees the stream. This is under linux with a cutting edge VLC (VLC media player 2.1.0-git Rincewind). Last time it worked was on Windows with VLC stable.

@Usern900: try rtp streaming. That still works for me. Does it do so for you?

BTW, tetris11_ the usage info screen needs a correction as it shows the dash between the IP and port as usern900 initially did.

Update: the http streaming remains an issue. Choosing live-view fails to bring up a gstreamer window, but it does so for rtp. Seems that the gst pipe-line is not created, and so socat provides a connect that has nothing to deliver.

I am on CSSU-testing and kernel-power. No aspersions cast that is for info...

It's working for me guys...
I'm using VLC 2.1.0-git-20120803-0402 Rincewind version on Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium.

Have you tried restarting the phone? Sometimes the ports its previously used need to be cleared.

Otherwise have you tried a different port?

Latest is here: http://nightlies.videolan.org/

I doubt the problem is the version of VLC. When my kid vacates the PC I will test with Windows. My earlier issue was with linux. Will test that as well.

I don't get the gst-launch liveview window under http but I do with rtp and the latter streams fine. Soooo, as I opined earlier the gst pipeline appears to fail. Tetris11_ please give the gst-launch command you are using so that I can play via the CLI. Yes I could poke around in the source but I had enough sauce this season
tnx

I uninstalled the 720p video libraries and http streaming works for me. Re-install 720p stuff and it does not, although rtp does function

@usern900: are you using the 720p video posted elsewhere in this forum? If you are, try removing that and retrying phonestreamer. I realise that both http and rtp don't work for you but it is worth a shot.
