In reply to Tim. Thanks, Tim! This article has a good bit of dust on it, and I imagine these changes are due to later library updates / raspberry pi 4 versions and such. I'll bench test this and update the article accordingly as I have time. Glad it worked out for you!

Thank for your setup guide. So easy to follow even for someone like me who has very little knowledge of Raspberry Pi environment. I now have webcam streaming through a Pi 4B. The only thing I had to change was sudoapt-getinstallbuild-essential libjpeg9-dev imagemagick libv4l-dev cmake git -y To sudo apt-get install build-essential libjpeg62-turbo-dev imagemagick libv4l-dev cmake git -y The terminal prompted me to replace libjpeg9-dev with libjpeg62-turbo-dev

In reply to Ed van den Enden. by default it looks for video0. If your device is not plugged into video0, it won't be found.

In the livestream.sh example (start section) there is typo at line #20 end "-b" that should not be there. All other instructions are 100% :-)

I tried this on a Raspberry Pi 4 and got lots of strange errors in the kern.log and syslog, and the whole system froze every 2 hours etc.
Raspi-config and change GPU memory to 260GB solved it. Now works as a charm.

In reply to Ryan.

Good question, Ryan – hopefully someone that stops by might have done that – if I have a chance to find out I’ll send you a note.

In reply to Caleb.

Hi Caleb,

Sorry for the late response. You’d use the host name you created for your raspberry pi – if you didn’t set one up that’s raspberrypi.local by default. I just called mine cam-pi-zero, you can name yours whatever you like. As for resolving the host name to an ip address, if you’re on the same network it should work (try with or without the .local), otherwise you can always use the IP address assigned to the raspberry pi.

Hi!
I had to use these as well:
sudo apt install cmake
sudo apt-get install libjpeg-dev

Maybe helps someone.
