MJPG streaming with a Raspberry Pi and a webcam

Question

So I need to have a network camera using a Raspberry pi, and have followed this tutorial. The device is serving the test streaming page, however all of the places where the stream should be embedded are blank. I am using a PS3 eyetoy camera with the Raspbian Wheezy distro. This is the log I receive when starting the server: ``` MJPG Streamer Version: svn rev: 3:165 i: Using V4L2 device.: /dev/video0 i: Desired Resolution: 640 x 480 i: Frames Per Second.: 5 i: Format............: MJPEG Adding control for Pan (relative) UVCIOC_CTRL_ADD - Error: Inappropriate ioctl for device Adding control for Tilt (relative) UVCIOC_CTRL_ADD - Error: Inappropriate ioctl for device Adding control for Pan Reset UVCIOC_CTRL_ADD - Error: Inappropriate ioctl for device Adding control for Tilt Reset UVCIOC_CTRL_ADD - Error: Inappropriate ioctl for device Adding control for Pan/tilt Reset UVCIOC_CTRL_ADD - Error: Inappropriate ioctl for device Adding control for Focus (absolute) UVCIOC_CTRL_ADD - Error: Inappr…

Accepted Answer

the ps3 camera doesn't seem to support mjpeg, but it does support YUYV format. Try initialising the stream with the -y flag. eg:

```
mjpg_streamer -i "/usr/lib/input_uvc.so -d /dev/video0 -y  -r 320x240 -f 15" -o "/usr/lib/output_http.so -p 8090 -w ./www"
```
