Run on Raspberry Pi 4 with Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm

[ZakEspley]

Hi,

I am not particularly new to using github or a raspberry pi, but I can't see to figure out how to actually run this software. Do I need to compile it for myself? If so, what are the releases for?

I have downloaded the release for the armv764 version as this should match the Raspberry pi 4 running 64 bit Rapberry Pi OS Bookworm.

I extract the file and cd into directory. Then when I try to run

./webrtc-streamer

I get

bash: ./webrtc-streamer: cannot execute: required file not found

as a response.

The webrtc-streamer file is there when do an ls command so I am thinking it depends on some sort of dependency or library file that I don't have.

What things will I need to install in addition to downloading a release in order to get this great software to work? Additionally, maybe there could be some sort of installation for Dummies section in the README?

Thanks,
Zak

I see now my mistake. I guess it's my first time using Bookworm and the modern 64 bit version, but when I downloaded the arm64 release and used that everything worked.

I do have another question though. I am using an older model OV5647 bases raspberry pi CSI camera. It does not have native H264 encoding, only yuyv.

Can I have camera streamer collect the data from that with v4l2? If so, what is the command I need to run to make that happen? I tried setting the URL with the -u flag to v4l2:///dev/video0 but it says it can't access the camera. Is my command wrong or is there another way for me to get this to work? Do I need to use ffmpeg to convert to h264 first? Or maybe rstp?

Any help would be great.

Hi,

V4l2 capture works only with h264, in order to forward compressed frame. If your camera produce uncompressed format, just use normal capture.

So does that mean that I set the url to videocap:///dev/video0 ?

Hi,

I guess probably videocap://0, but you could get it using the api /api/getVideoDeviceList

Best Regards,
