I have been serching for ages to find out if it is possible to turn on my n800 pop out the camera and some how be able to view the output on my pc?

i have tryed going through gizmo,gaim,msn,gtalk,and skype.
I can become root through ssh and from there all that i could find on the internet about live streaming just led to me beeing able to start a little program that just vews the camera.
this is the code i run through ssh
"gst-launch v4l2src ! video/x-raw-yuv,width=640,height=480,framerate=8/1 ! ffmpegcolorspace ! xvimagesink"

after i found this i tryed using x11vnc to veiw the n800's screen, in turn showing me the camera out put but,
when i load up the tightvnc viewer on my pc and connect to the n800 i can see the takbar etc but the video output which is perfect on the n800 its just a solid green square, same if i try it on the call preview and the camera aplication.

are the any other ways to view my n800's screen or have the video output streamed to my pc?

thanks if anybody can help

Search forums for "motion"

ok, i tryed that and nomater wich version i try itwont install eather 'cos my installer thinks its 402Mb or i dont have permission, even when loged in as root with redpill on... i dont see what im diong wrong, are there any otherways, btw im running os 2008

Did you follow instructions in this thread: http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ghlight=motion

I simply dl'ed to PC, extracted "motion", "motion.conf" and transfered to N800 using WinSCP (http://winscp.net/). Have to change permissions but runs fine.

thank you i have got it working now, i needed to change the 777 permitions.
now how can i chane the settings of it eg. so it is a pure stream not just a new pic evry 5 seconds?

thankyou

Search for the program "Peekaboo."
It sends a live video stream (no audio) from the Tablet's camera to any PC.
(Be advised that I'm still running OS2007 on a N800.)

Perfect howto for a live stream of audio and video!

And it does work on OS2008.

@040794: like most programs type "motion -help" and see this this thread

@kenny: IIRC peekaboo won't work on OS2008

@sam-network: nice, haven't see that info, I will have give it a go
