Need help installing ustreamer

A Former User

@luckyflyer would appear ustreamer isn't bound to any ports?

pgrep ustreamer?

luckyflyer

@bearer said in Need help installing ustreamer:

pgrep ustreamer

Run that command?

A Former User

@luckyflyer yeah, it'll return the PID for ustreamer if its running.

luckyflyer

I believe I'll have a problem doing that because when ustreamer is running terminal is locked until a cont C .

luckyflyer

Tried it didn't work.

luckyflyer

Tried it on pi's terminal with ustreamer running but command did not return anything

A Former User

it wont when ustreamer isn't running, which was the goal to confirm as netstat didn't show anything bound to 8080.

methinks you ~~need to~~ should review https://github.com/pikvm/ustreamer#tips to run this as a systemd unit

luckyflyer

I ssh into terminal on my pc and start ustreamer I then go in via vnc to terminal and enter pgrep ustreamer but didn't return anything.

luckyflyer

Ok I'll read that again

A Former User

@luckyflyer maybe post what ustreamer says when you start it, and run

@bearer said in Need help installing ustreamer:

sudo netstat -lt4np more usefull for future ref.

instead of pgrep?

luckyflyer

Here ya go.

huh, they're contradicting each other unless I'm off my rocks. odd; will see how it behaves here in a bit

luckyflyer

Well now its refusing to connect @ http://0.0.0.0:8080 on pi's chrome but it did until I stopped ustreamer and then restarted it.

luckyflyer

So I rebooted pi and now can access ustreamer again on pi chrome http://0.0.0.0:8080

luckyflyer

I'm now seeing this, it's the last entry in ustreamer's start up, haven't seen it before.

luckyflyer

So this is what I'm getting now,

@luckyflyer said in Need help installing ustreamer:

So this is what I'm getting now,

that looks normal, should be able to connect from your pc to whatever IP address the pi has. confirm the IP addressess of the Pi with hostname -I

luckyflyer

Success, I can get into ustreamer from my pc on pi's ip addr.
@bearer, I want to say a big thank you for your help, wouldn't have been able to get there if you hadn't stepped in!!

@gtj0 Also thanks!

gtj0

@luckyflyer As a reward are you going put on a show for us???

luckyflyer

I can sure do that but........ murphy has made another appearance.

I have the standalone pi working good so now its time to load ustreamer onto the Duet pi.
The first thing I do is assign a static ip for eth0 and wlan on Duet pi, thats done new address's work.
Next I run.

sudo apt-get install libevent-dev libjpeg8-dev uuid-dev libbsd-dev

I get an error saying cannot reach raspbianraspberrypi.org I try several times thinking that maybe the server is down. I then try one of my pi's that is dhcp and it gets on the server immediately. I don't understand this do a google for this type of problem and come up with nothing. So I disable firewall still no. I then remove the static addresses and Duet pi is now able to reach the server.
So the above command now downloads I proceed with the install/compile with these notes I've made,

**Check if make and gcc are already installed, if not installed install with sudo apt-get install

Get these,
sudo apt-get install libevent-dev libjpeg8-dev uuid-dev libbsd-dev

Now compile ustreamer

$ sudo git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/pikvm/ustreamer
$ mkdir ustreamer
$ cd ustreamer
$ make

check if working with
$ ./ustreamer --help**

When I get to make I get this error,

pi@duet3:~/ustreamer $ make
-- CC src/device.c
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘build’: Permission denied
Assembler messages:
Fatal error: can't create build/src/device.o: No such file or directory
make: *** [Makefile:92: build/src/device.o] Error 1
pi@duet3:~/ustreamer $

@bearer Can I impose on your expertise one more time.
