I'm trying to come up with something like a raspberry pi with a webcam attached that I can use to stream video to any old web browser on the local network.
The first use of this may be to put a "window" into a room that has no natural light by setting up a webcam looking out a window and then dedicating a tablet to display the streamed video from the other window.
Extra points for layering an image of curtains on top of the stream to make it look more like a real window.
find the right protocol
My first working attempt at this uses ogg (theora vorbis)
The server has an attached webcam via usb and runs vlc with these settings:
:sout=#transcode{vcodec=theo,vb=800,acodec=vorb,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=44100}:http{dst=:8080/stream.ogg} :sout-keep
The client displays this url:
http://localhost:8080/stream.ogg
That arrangement works when hosted from my fedora 20 laptop, but not so much when I host from the my ubuntu 14.10 desktop.
The lag is pretty bad compared to a video call like skype or hangouts. I should be able to do better with some tuning.
